Looking for powerhead

[Sipec]

I'm looking for a power head for a 24 gallon biocube that is less than $200 and can sustain sps. I'm thinking of an ice cap generation, has anyone had a good experience with this?

Does it need to be controllable? You’re in a sweet spot for Koralia pumps. Tunze is a good choice too.

Agree with tunZe, also look at jebao.

The new Aqamai pumps are amazing too. WiFi controllable and wide/even flow much like the Hydor Koralias. Probably good for a smaller tank when your pumps will be close to the corals so they don’t get blasted but it really gets the water moving.

Reef breeders Rp-m pump. Hands down

I kinda want something that can do randomized flow

I kinda want something with a lower profile too, like the ice cap generation

6 slots of time thru a 24 hour period, that's random. Small as a mp40 with 2500gpm.

It looks good, I'll have to look into it a bit more though. Thanks!

Try the Skimz on BRS; seven programs, low profile and $89 price point. I've had good luck with them

I'm having trouble finding reviews on it, do u have one? How long have u had it, and what's ur experience?

Tunze. For that size tank, a 6040 would be nice if you want to hide it, otherwise a 6055. These cost more than some of the other brands, but they last quite a long time, are easily repairable and Tunze has outstanding customer support.

I just bought one last night. Going to throw it in today and I'll let you know how I feel about it.
I do know they had 1 working in a 60 cube tank. It was barely running and everything was swaying. Also, dead silent.

Ya, mine was loud. Found defects, returned it for a vortech.
I still think they are good for the price. I just got a lemon.

I am building out a Red Sea max nano and looking for a pump other than Vortech, want something new.

How did the Reefbuilder do? That skimz pump caught my eye too

It's a big as a mp40 at 2000 gpm instead of 4500gpm. You can have different modes thru the day or of the box. I saw one working at the lfs, quiet. You can also buy the Wi-Fi box for them. 1 for each pump at $75 and have even more control. It would still be less $ than vortech mp10's and have more power in the water. Mp10 do 1500gpm.
The bushings are also replaceable, it is very easy to do with needle nose pliers. That is a big plus also.
