HI -
Looking to replace aging ReefLo Dart return pump with something a bit quieter.
I have considered the Nautilus 3200 from reefbreeders. It has 0-10v so I could control it with the P4. $300 each, but very little real world durability reviews. Cheap power brick, typical import pump.
The lower cost Red Dragons are just rebadged China pumps, albiet with maybe a better power supply and controller. The pumps are close to $1000 and The GHL interface will be another $400 or whatever. Not really interested in spending $2500 for two return pumps to replace the $500 dart.
Jebao - no 0-10v control so that is kinda of a non-starter other than plugging them into a powerbar and and least getting soft start.
The leads me to the Versia. No reviews yet.
How quiet? How much vibration?
Will the need frequent cleaning (external is a PITA and mess to remove for cleaning).
Will they calcify quickly, etc.
What is shaft/impeller life, etc.
Anybody have these yet that can offer ANY insight?
