FT: Sicce Syncra Silent 3.0 for Mag 3

[24gnanonewbie]

I purchased this pump new a couple of weeks ago, and from my other post am pretty sure its just to much pump. I am looking to see if anyone has a Mag 3 thats like new that they would trade for this pump. Mine is doing about 500gph+ and I need one around 250gph+.

Here is the pump on marinedepot:

Maybe even a Mag 5 (at 5' head = 325 gph)

Have you thought about putting a ball valve on the return line and dialing it back?

Yeah... kinda pulled the trigger on this post a little to early. I am going to try the ball valve first. Then go from there. Thanks for the guidance.

I always pit ball valves on every return and drain.

It is adjustable for flow
The know like thing in the middle of the turns and adjusts the flow. I have mine turned down 3 or 4 clicks and it works great

I have a mag 5.

You wont hurt the pump to put valves to slow it down. My tanks have a valve on the return and the drain so I can dial in the right flow. Your sicce is a better pump than a mag in my opinion.
