I really like the jeabo dc pumps .
they come in various sizes .
and all controllable

With the Sicce, unlikely - as it’s connected through a T junction. I guess it’s conceivable, but that’s where the 5-year warranty comes in.

That's good to know. Thanks!

Thanks for responding. I would've considered Jebao if it weren't for the fact that I just had one of their powerheads fail after 7 months and their customer service isn't responding to me about the warranty... Not sure I want to trust them again.

Makes sense .
I didn’t think they had a warranty giving the cheaper cost .

but the lfs I have bought some of them from will honour a warranty through the store .

I was doing some more research on DC pumps and came across the Varios 2 by Reef Octopus. Can anyone speak to how silent those are?

I was going to buy a Varios 2, but decided to order the Coral Box DCA 4000 for my 25ext lagoon. It’s way overkill, but I’m plumbing a 10g mangrove lagoon to it as well. They are apex ready (0-10v) out of the box and are very affordable. You could go with the DCA2000? I’ll be using a Hydros controller on this build, so we’ll see how it works out? But for $119, I’m not going to complain.
