I'm currently running an mp10 and mp40 in my 40g breeder.
My goal is to Apex everything that I possible can. Given Ecotech's desire to not "play nice" with Neptune, I'll be moving away from the Vortechs when I add the Apex. So I need to find some new pumps since I don't want to rely on legacy hardware (wxm) to control things. Priority here is real estate and reliability -- I want the smallest, least obtrusive powerheads possible and I don't want to have to disassemble to clean on a weekly basis. Noise is the 2nd biggest concern.
Options:
1. Neptune WAV (aquabus)
2. Maxspect Gyre (0-10V)
3. Tunze 6055 (0-10V)
4. Reef Octopus Octo Pulse (0-10V)
5. Sicce Xstream (0-10V)
I'm leaning towards the Tunze because... Tunze. But aside from the name, I've no compelling reason to go that route. I'm looking for some feedback from people who have used one (or several) of these powerheads, or if there's another option that I'm not tracking, I'm all ears.
