Return Pump Recommendations

[temfinger]

I am trying to decide on a return pump, i want to go with a DC pump for more control.

I have been looking at the Reef Octopus Varios-4, and the Sicce Syncra SDC 6.0

My tanks is a 65 gal tall w/ 1 return, 1 drain with a 20 gal sump, with skimmer section, and refugium, The tank has about 5ft of head pressure with the new stand.

I am currently running a Sicce 2.0, which was sufficient until I got the new stand. The new stand is taller therefore added pressure.

As for the flow in the tank i am running a Maxspect Gyre xf230

Which one would you prefer and why?

Thanks in advance

Varios! Much quieter.

I've used 3 different VarioS pumps and all were nice and quiet.
One of those is a VarioS-6S skimmer pump and I've had it on my tank for about 2 years.
