Ice Cap Battery Backup Compatible Powerhead/Gyre

[ncfalco]

Looking for an inexpensive (<$200) power head or gyre pump that will work with an Ice Cap DC battery backup 12-24v system version 1. I have a JBJ 45 gallon AIO tank that came with these batteries. Any suggestions?

I would try to look for a used Octopulse 2. Awesome, quiet, powerful (way stronger than GPH rating), and reliable pump. I have one with the same battery backup and it should work for you too.

Thanks @JaaxReef. What pump controller are you using? From my understanding that needs to be compatible as well.

Just using the controller that it came with. I don’t have the new WiFi version, just the old school one. Works perfectly with the battery. I don’t think the Hydros works with the battery if you went that route.
