New pump time

[cbedfellow]

What is the latest and thoughts on good DC pumps, I have owned Red Dragon in the past and it was excellent not cheap but worth it for practically silent operation, I have also owned Jebao (not bad, not good but cheap) and a Vectra pumps. The Vectra was good but not as quiet as a Dragon, so what are the options today.

Tunze makes a dc pump but I prefer AC and control flow with a ball valve.
All my returns are Tunze. Quality and very long lasting.

I’ve never had a Current USA eFlux fail on me on two tanks across 8 years. Tunable, quiet and cheap.

Though, Current USA just announced they’re shutting down, support is being provided by saltwateraquarium.com, and their pumps are on heavy discount right now.

I’ve used two Jebaos (10000 and 20000) for years, silent and no problems.

Are most of the Tunze return style pumps made by Sicce? They look very similar.

I LOVE sicce. For the money I find them the best.

Tunze are made in Germany
Sicce are made in Italy

I swapped out mine a few months back when I was looking for ways to run my tank quieter and the old pump died. I went with a second generation Aquamedic DC Runner. It meant I could buy a slightly over powered pump and dial it back with the controller. It has an app too, which is a bit ordinary, but I use it to schedule the pump to switch off for feeding. So far so good and I can't hear it.
