Apex-compatible return pump?

[Rovert]

have a DC return pump that's developed a buzzing noise and often sounds like it's 'hunting' in RPM, which is usually a signal of problems ahead. Even if it's repairable, having a new pump online with this as a backup makes sense.

I'd want to replace it with another DC pump, but one that can be controlled by an Apex or WaveEngine. I've seen the COR will work with Apex (obviously) but there are other very fine units out there also. Quietness is important. Can any of you make a recommendation?

Tank is about 200g total volume with a 3/4 return line.

im running dual sicce SDC9.0s on my 220 from 40-45%, basically silent. However, i use the app control and wont hook them into a controller for fear of controller failure. App is actually pretty decent.

I have a similar size tank and run the COR20, no issues going on 18months and I have cleaned it once, basically at the 1 year mark.

I heard the VarioS pumps were good, also. Any opinion on those? They're supposed to be quiet.

I ran one on my last tank a 120g which was overkill, but it certainly was a very good pump, still running at my friends who took the tank.
