im prob going to go with no due to size of it vs the AIO backing.

The smaller SICCE pumps are amazing. I have a 1.0 (i think) that fits perfectly in my IM 25.

I have Waterbox 20. I tried the Syncra Silient 1.0 with 251 gph that has a great flow for the Waterbox but it is still a bit noisy during night time. (my tank is in my studio/bedroom).

I am currently using the Micra Plus 158gph. Flow is a lot less than 1.0 but its DEAD silient.

The Micro has enough flow with the addition of a powerhead? I was just now about to get the 1.0 until I saw your post. If that one is quieter I’d like to get it.

I had 3 powerheads (MP10, AI Nero 3, and Hygger Mini) in my Waterbox 20. Water movement was not a concern. In addition, I had a skimmer to enhance water cleaning, so the Micra Plus as a return pump was enough.

If lower noise is what you are looking for, Micra Plus would be just OK. Like I mentioned before, Sycra Silent 1.0 was mcuh noisier than the Micra Plus.

Alternately, try to get a DC pump that fits in your tank and your budget. I am using Hygger HG-915 (DC-24V) for my current tank - the Fiji Cube 32 gallon AIO tank. This pump is "DEAD SILENT"!! In my 25 years reefing experience, I had used over 2 dozens of water pumps, water pump noise is the most disturbing issue for me. This could be all due to my living environment. Have been using tte HG-915 for 8 months, not a single issue or any noise; as if it were not there. SO HAPPY! Anyway, I can not recommend high enough for this pump.

Let's say, if I had the budget to upgrade for one and only one equipment, lower noise water pump would be the one - not lighting, not skimmer, and no others.

Just curious, how's the noise of Mightyjet? Especially, compare with Sicce pumps if you have any experience with them.

I ran a sicce 1.5 or 1.0 on my first tank. I wasnt impressed with its performance. I like the mightyjet way better. As far as noise goes DC pumps seem quieter to me. Highly recommend the mighty jet!

I haven’t had a sicce as it’s my first tank but it’s totally silent and I think I am sensitive to tank noise I have replaced a couple skimmers to get a silent one
