Is anyone selling them yet? Hard to try something that isn't available. Kinda like that other pump from Neptune that's never shown up...

ksed · Jul 14, 2017

Agreed!
Premium Aquatics has them

Any experience with one of these?

AquariumSpecialty · Aug 12, 2017

Not yet. All I can tell you is that Sicce is a good company and they worked on this for a long time to get it right.

ksed · Aug 12, 2017

I am surprised, they are not getting any attention either. Nobody seems interested.
Just wondering if it's a little to late or perhaps poor marketing.

I think it's mainly a lack of good marketing hype, and the long road to bringing it to market. These should compete well with any of the other brands in common circulation.

Can't speak to long-term aspects other than to say that Sicce is well-known for producing some of the best pumps, so I have a fair bit of faith in this pump just from that. After several weeks with the 7.0 on a test system here at work, I've been very happy with it so far. Initial setup was very easy and the wifi control through the ContrAll mobile app was easy to set up and effective. The pump is super-quiet, as I'd expect, and flow and head-pressure seem very good. Sicce has always produced quiet, energy-efficient pumps, and this one appears to be no exception. I'll likely be swapping the Vectra M1 on my 100g cube out for a 7.0 down the road, and keeping the Vectra as a backup.

I’m looking at getting the 9 for my Red Sea 750 that’s in shipment. I’ve heard good things.

My 7.0 did not have enough flow for my reefer 350 and it was loud, I got a 9.0 and it moved less water than the 7.0 even after replumbing the return. Got a second 9.0 and the most it will do is 500gph on the apex and it is really loud.
