I'm using a single sunpole 12000 as a remote sump return pump.
Quiet? Yes, it is quiet. I am using it on a bsmt sump, 1.5" return line which splits into 2 at the tank. I have roughly 8' vertical and 14' horizontal plumbing and some 90s etc. It suits my needs. I would prefer a bit more flow, but an abyzz is not in my budget.

I’m using the Sunpole 9000 with 1 inch return lines. This pump has been awesome for my 305g tank. The pump is virtually quiet, has adjustments on the controller, feed mode and best of all a power button on the controller (no more unplugging the cord)

How long have you been running it for dose the quality seem good is there much heat buildup in the controller.

You don’t want too much turnover in your sump. The larger pump is great if you have extensive horizontal and vertical runs.

I have a150g sump now & will turn my 180g into my sump. Over 2/3 will be refugium running Triton system. Shooting for 5 times the display turnover. Think it best not to max out a motors rated capability. I like the flexibility of being able to ramp up the flow rate to be able deep clean my tank & remove suspended particles.

I am away from my tank usually between 10 days possibly a few months this winter & by running two pumps at 50%then if one goes then I can bump up the other to 100%.
Until I can get home or have someone that I deem capable of swapping out my pump. I find larger motors to make less noise at 50% then being maxed out. Will be close to 11 feet of head presser. |

Backside of controller does get hot. It does have fins on backside to aid with heat dissipation.
