Fiji Flow DC water pump - has anyone used this pump?

[Sordfish]

I am looking for a dc return pump for my 12G Fiji Sump. It seemed like a pump by Fiji should fit the bill (it is a small return chamber feeding a 25g tank. I have not been able to find a single review of this pump anywhere on the internet, which me wonder. I love the sump by the way.

If you have used it, I’d love to hear your experience. Also any other suggestions on a small DC return pump. The only other one I found that’d fit is Sicce SDC 3.0.

If its the Fiji advanced 12, the return pump section is 6" x 7" - you're not going to find many pumps that are appropriate to that size sump that don't fit.

I've never had a Sicce pump that didn't have problems. Not a fan at all. Expensive, and not the quality to match. Any 2500 or 3000 series pump will probably be fine. I've got about a dozen Jebaos and a half dozen Orlushy pumps in the 2500-4000 range, and never had a problem with any of them. Cheap, reliable, quiet.

Thanks. Unfortunately that measurement is misleading. 1/3 of the 7” is under the overflow pipe chamber and thus only is about 4” heigh. I tried my current usa 5.3” pump in there(it’s broken) that is 4.3” heigh and it was an utter pain to get it in and out. Hence the reason I am looking for something 5” or shorter and 4” or lower.

I think there aren't many reviews because they are newly introduced.

The innovative marine mighty jet series might fit your bill.

Not sure if you’re still looking for a pump at this point but I bought one as it fit the bill for the spacial constraints I had for a build and would not recommend. Maybe I got a bad one or I’m doing something inexplicably wrong (no directions in packaging not that you should need). Doesn’t work as well as the cheap amazon AC pump it replaced and doesn’t matter its adjustable because I can’t figure anyone would ever want to run it at anything but 100%. I’m not looking for Mexicans from this thing by any means but honestly its weak…

Thanks. I am still trying to decide what to get. I’ll be avoiding it based on your feedback.
