So after 24 hours of my cor 15 running I wanted to give a quick review. The pump is silent to the point I can’t even tell if it’s on! It doesn’t vibrate anything thus leading to a much quieter system. The setup was a breeze in terms of plumbing. Neptune provides some pluming pieces to get you...
I am currently working on a Fluval M90 mixed reef tank. It's about 36 total gallons with dimensions of 35" width x 16" height x 12" depth. I am looking at a new Maxspect Turbine Duo TD-6K return pump which is about 1000 gallons per hour max but turning it down to about 30% and a pair of Maxspect...

Greetings!
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...
Selling a brand new, never used Iwaki pump. Note: somehow the plastic cooling fan guard was damaged at some point... as seen in images. This does not alter the performance of the pump in any way... all of the fan blades are still perfect and do not rub or make any noise when spun.

I built my own stand and made sure it was large enough to eventually upgrade to a 40B if things went well with the 20. Well I have been waiting for a $1 per gallon sale for weeks and finally got my 40B...

Hi Everyone!

Before I venture out to home depot and start buying things, I wanted to ask here and see if there is a simpler solution to connect from PVC to my return pump. I recently acquired a 75G reef tank pre drilled and plumbed for reef, in an effort to plunge into reef-keeping. All of my experience is...
