I'm upgrading the return on my Evo 13.5, just after some opinions as to which pump would be better?
Sicce Syncra 1.0 or Eheim CompactON 1000

Did you find either was any quieter?Either would be fine, I have owned both in different sizes though and both are great pump designs.
The pumps are great but was too much flow for what I was trying to achieve. Sicce are great pumps just was looking to lower noise since it’s in my bedroom.I have been running a Sicce Syncra 1.0 in my nano for 6 months Never an issue. Only thing I will say is throttleing it down Is a bit difficult but once you get used to how it works it is fine, but it did confuse me for a while
That's weird, I had the sicce in my 13.5, and it was silent. The only time it would get noisy is if the pump's plastic was touching the glass.The pumps are great but was too much flow for what I was trying to achieve. Sicce are great pumps just was looking to lower noise since it’s in my bedroom.
Thanks. I’ll double check that.That's weird, I had the sicce in my 13.5, and it was silent. The only time it would get noisy is if the pump's plastic was touching the glass.
Mine has been running well. Maybe I’m just picky about the sound. Thanks to everyone.I’ve had the sicce 0.5 for about 12 months and had no problems. Mine runs silent unless it touches the glass or false wall.
Same I have the power cable at the glass. It’s a tight fit but aslong as you can keep it off the glass or plastic it will run silent. Even the cables can cause vibration if that’s touching the glass closer to the pump.Just curious but do you have the pump intake facing chamber 2 or away? Mine is pointed towards chamber 2. Thanks!!
Which is yours the 1.0 or the 0.5My pump is a lot deeper. This is mine. Thank you so much for sending me the photo.
I have the 0.5. I did have the 1.0 but was too much flow for my set up. I also have 2 1/4 RFG on the return. I wanted the 0.5 for good turnover on my filtration without beating everything up 24/7 and adding a powerhead if I need it. Most the stuff Im going to add is moderate flow/light.Which is yours the 1.0 or the 0.5
