Coral Box Quiet Pump Review

[Reef Supplies]

Coral Box and Jebao are two different brands. Coral box was brought about by the owner of Fish-Street (who has also helped develop the RW's).

They seem to be decent pumps. We have been testing 3 for a few months now and so far so good. Once our field tests are complete we will evaluate them and start selling them if they pass (i'm sure they will)

Once we do start, we will sell both the Jebao and Coral Box since they ARE NOT "successors"

Do you stock them yet Ray? Looking for 2 of the 9's.

Quick picture update of the pump angle/restrictions I was referring to.


It's also just shy of 90 degrees pointing in the other direction:


While I was at it, I took some comparison shots with the RW-8. Relatively the same dimension wise, however I could imagine the QP-9 is marginally bigger due to it's shape.





There is an audible sound from the pump, however, without testing it, I believe it is quieter than my MP10. I tried taking video of the pump's operations earlier, with no luck of registering the sound. To better test the sound, I was thinking of downloading the a sound meter for my phone and recording that this weekend. Any suggestions.

Also, please let me know of anything you are interested in my testing or demonstrating with the pump. I hope to test all settings this weekend.

Basically with these powerheads the question is, are you going to run them with an external controller (apex, GHL, etc)? If yes, stick with the Jebao RW/SW series. If you're going to run stand-alone, these are slightly better quality pumps with a lower sound profile, and far better controllers.

The problem for external control arises with requiring an Aqualink A1 control module per pump, due to hardware changes or should I say removal inside the pump head. That's $100 CAD added to the cost of every pump for external controller support, sort of like the Maxspect gyre situation.
