Very good numbers for mid range pricing.
Solid warranty

Did they announce pricing.

Fudsey · Mar 24, 2017

That SDC 9.0 looks fantastic. Let's hope they price it well

ksed · Mar 24, 2017

The 9.0 Advanced AC is actually slightly more efficient.

ksed · Mar 26, 2017

Next month is supposed to be the release date.
Pricing is 279 for the 7.0 and 330 for the 9.0 SDC models
The ADV AC version should be less.

No this went to the back burner while I get the rest of my tank up and running again.
Plus I'm waiting for those new Sicce pumps to be released.

I've had a few Sicce pumps and I've had issues with all of them. I took a look at the new one that's coming out soon, and it doesn't seem like it'll push more water than that Vectra.

This really disappointing due to the fact that I am truly considering buying a Vectra M1 to go with my MP10's on my new 75g build. I am planning on using 1 inch plumbing all the way up to the return bulk head which is reduced to 3/4in . I am hoping I wont loss tons of flow , if I do go with the Vectra Route on my build.

You probably wont notice how much you have actually lost unless you have a flow meter. I suspect you will not be disappointed. Most do not put a pump anywhere near that large as a return for a 75g.
