Return Pump replacement for Waterbox 15.2?

[SauceyReef]

Can I get a suggestion on a return Pump replacement for a Waterbox 15.2? What are you using?

The stock one I have is garbage and louder than deaf hyena ever after daily cleaning.

Not sure what your available dimensions offhand, but possibly a small Sicce or an IM MightyJet?

I made this post in another forum group and thinking of going with the sicce nano .5 seeing a lot of people recommended it. waterbox also officially recommends it as a replacement.

I have 2 Sicce pumps and a Sicce wavemaker in my sump, so I heartedly endorse Sicce.

I have WaterBox Cube 20, currently using Sicce Syncra 1.0 (251 gph). I had used the Sicce Micra Plus (158 gph), a bit small for Cube 20. Both are very quiet and reliable; I highly recommend. I would think Syncra 0.5 (185 gph) will be a good fit for you.

Makes me happy to know everyone is endorsing sicce. Feel confident getting one! Yeah the .5 seems the one to go with.

Let's say you use Syncra 0.5. And assumed, it loses pressure due to headroom (vertical travel distance) and 90-degree pipe elbows (general rule is one 90-degree pipe elbow is equivalent to 1 vertical foot, if my memory still serves me right). So for simplicity, let's assume it pumps 100 gph water volume. That's equivalent to 6.7x turnovers. It's in the ideal range between 5x to 10x.

At any rate, Sicce is my go-to brand for pumps. I have used many of them and none of them has failed me. So, if it fits, grab it.
