The Jebao DCS 12000 Silent Pump moves over 3000 gallons per hour and uses a maximum of 80 watts. For under $200 Canadian can't be beat. You can buy a backup for that price.

Some non DC pumps require up to 200 watts to move that much water. Do the math in power savings because a pump is running 24/7. Extra wattage also equals extra heat transfer.

Agreed. I run this pump on my FOWLR and it is dead silent, puts out a ton of controllable flow and for the price you cant beat it. Ive had mine running for two years, no issues.

DC technology is getting pretty awesome. So if you feel like you want to spend some extra money to buy an ecotec M1 or L1, reef octopus, or even the new neptune pump, theres a lot of options out there. But for most brands you pay the price. Thats why I keep going for the Jebao/jecod pumps. I could literally buy 2 or 3 of them for the price of the big guys pumps.

I currently run Sicce pumps on my systems.

They are quiet, cheap, reasonably good with power consumption.

The reason I purchased the Jabeo's is because they integrate with the Ice Cap Battery backup, they are controllable and use a fraction of the power consumption.

I will use the Sicce's as backups in case a pump fails.

If budget was not an option I would have went with an Ecotech Vectra used an ecotech battery back up and run it off a Ecotech Reeflink. I would have been able to control the pump with my phone anywhere in the world. How cool would that be. I would also have purchased the MP40's for water moment and used ecotech lighting and had complete control with my phone.
