IM Fusion 40 Replacement Pump

[ddrueckh]

looking for a recommendation for a replacement pump. The stock pump went out. Thanks!

I’m using the sicce 3.0 on my jbj 45 and I like it a lot really increased the turnover rate of filtration.

Thanks. I assume the return on that pump is 3/4". Is your tank also 3/4" or 1/2? Mine is 1/2. I guess I could reduce it.

Mine is also 1/2” but the outlet on the pump I put the 1/2” vinyl tubing inside the male connector which works fine for me. Just never got to the reducer piece lol

I think a lot of people upgrade to the sicce 2.0

Same thing the 3.0 is just more gph

Not sure if the 3.0 will fit a Fusion. The 2.0 is a really tight fit

Got ya wasn’t sure if the compartment size was the same as the jbj 45 or not if the op measures the middle compartment I can see how it compares to mine.

Thanks for all the replies. I will go with the 2.0.

The sicce 2.0 will work it is a tight fit you can change out the fitting on the outlet of the pump to fit the 1/2 tubing.
