IM Nuevo 10 pump replacement suggestions.

Is that return tubing 3/8 inch? Good on pump report, mine arrives today. I guess you feel 90GPH is adequate.

I would have to check the sizing. I had some left over from my reactors on my other tank. As far as GPH goes, it works for me. This a Zoanthid only tank and I don't need that much flow. I think moving up to the next size would be perfect as well.

Glad yours worked out... mine came last night. Put it in today. A buzzing, vibrating piece of junk. Horrible.

I may just have to abandon the sump on thing and go with a hang on side power filter. Nobody makes a small 100-120 GPH pump that isn't a rattling, buzzing, vibrating piece of garbage.

I see you had vibration issues with your stock pump... and got replacement silicon tubing? From where ?? Did that help lessen vibration?

Bought a Sicce 0.5... WOW, SILENT. The Micra was a total piece of crap for me. Would never have bought another Sicce pump, but folks over at nano-reef.com said it was awesome, so I bought it. It IS awesome.

This seems strange to me but maybe I just got lucky as I had a IM 10 a while back and the stock return pump was dead silent for me. Been thinking about starting another nano so I might have to keep this thread handy if the quality of the pumps has gone down.

That's too bad. I was cautious about it as well since it wasn't part of the Syncra line. Return it and get the .5 you won't be disappointed but it will put out a lot more flow.

No noticeable difference. The sicce pump was already quite. I had it lying around and thought why not.

You don't find 160 GPH to be overkill? Or can you turn it down??

it is adjustable, but at full speed its more then calm enough for the tank, but plenty of flow at the same time. i wouldnt go any higher personally, especially if your gonna run another powerhead for added flow...
