IM Fusion 20 equipment

[jazzmik]

Trying to finalize last few pieces I need to order for the IM Fusion 20 build.

What would be better option for

Return pump:
- 2 Sicce 0.5 split
- 1 Sicce 1.0
- 1 Sicce 1.5 will it fit no issues?
- Tunze 1073.008 Silence (think I would need to split 2 of these also?)

Flow pump:
- Aqamai KPS (not a ton of info on these... are they any good?)
- Which Jebao would be best for this size tank?
- Don't really want to spend the money on the MP10
- Other?

Heater:
- Aqueon Pro 100w
- Cobalt Neo-therm 100w


The only thing else I haven't 100% decided on is the light but leaning towards Nanobox Duo or AI Hydra 26hd. Not sure.

Thanks

I see people using the sicce 1.5 and it fits. Mp10 is worth the money but any powerhead does the same thing. With the heater it’s always good to go with two just Incase one fails I’ve always used the eheim Jager. The aqua illumination are really nice lights I run the aqua illumination prime hd on my jbj 45 and I get great coral growth and health.

Are you running 1 or 2 Primes?

Just one and honestly is more than enough. But the im 20 is longer than the 45

 

[EriksOasis]

Actually they are about the same.

Good time to get the mp10 at a cheaper price.

I used to have JBJ45 a couple inches wider but

Just saw it... but still 250 compared to 40-50.00 or so for a Jebao, or 110 for the Aqamai.

trying to keep down costs as much as possible on this build since its not my main tank.

Was just looking at the non-wireless version which would work since I would only be using 1 of them on this size tank. So that's cheaper brand new and may be an option.

I have the sicce 1.5 in my nuvo 20. Fits just fine. Also nice that the pipes from stock pump fit to it.

So I've bought everything for the build except for the light which I'm undecided on.

Will start a build thread next week after I get everything in and take some pics. As far as this thread's question, I ended up buying a Sicce 1.5, Eheim Jager 75w and Jebao SW4.
