Any recommendations for powerheads? I'd like to use the Apex to control the pumps. I see that Neptune doesn't sell the WXM module for Vortech's anymore, which is what I was initially planning to use.

I bought used WXM and used MP10s for mine. It's still working fine.

If I want to change, I would use a gyre. I believe it can be controlled by apex 0-10v

I decided to go with 2 Mp10's. Also picked up a FMM module and flow meter for the return. I'm planning on starting the cycle soon. Anyone use other fish beside a clown?

Well my Somatic skimmer impeller shaft cracked, and of course no replacement part to be found. So here is my new skimmer. Reef Octopus Regal 150sss. Wow. Dead quiet and easy to adjust. Plus I have it hooked into the variable 10v on the apex just for kicks. I’m done with the controls for now. Waiting on the clowns to finish quarantine, then I will have life in the display!

Hmm I don't think sicce made a pump exclusively for a single brand. Even if they did, they should be able to help you out if you contact sicce. Have you tried that yet?
