I’m looking to buy two pumps:
1. Skimmer pump with 1100 gph minimum for a lifereef svs3-30 skimmer;
2. Return pump for a 75 gallon display tank with 25 gallon sump.
I think I’ve settled on Sicce based on what I’ve read about them being reliable and quiet. Is this accurate? Noise is the most important factor for me.
I’m confused about which Sicce pump line is quietest; the Silent, Pro, or SDC?
I have the apex, so controllability via that is great.
Return Pump Options- would run for 4x-6x turnover, so roughly 400-600 gph- but might go higher?
Silent 3 (714 gph)
Pro 800 gph
(No appropriate SDC option?)
Skimmer Pump Options- would run at about 1100 gph
Silent 5.o (1321 gph)
Pro 1500 gph
SDC 7.0 (800-1900 gph)
