Sicce Syncra pumps. Best return pump I've used yet.

Anybody stick a Kill-A-Watt on one?

This is pretty much the same pump as the Tunze Silence series. I own a few of them, and as treadstarter said, they are dead silent. I have been running the pump since the release a couple of years ago with no troubble.

For all you 3.0 owners.. What size tubing do you use for the return?

I have a syncra silent 5.0 and it cant be heard, unless I get really close to my sump and turn the pump off on my skimmer. Also running sicce's voyager stream pumps on a wave maker and they're dead quiet as well unless I get really close to the aquarium.

only thing I hear is the gently trickling going over my overflow, and thats a relaxing sound imo =D

The syncra's and Laguna's (askoll block) are my favorite in sump pumps.

I have a 5 that's been in my sump for over a year with no problems. I'd heard some complain of the 5's being loud but mine is very quiet.

Tarawa,

i wonder if you did anything special to your 5.0 to ensure it runs silently? i noticed a previous poster said their 5.0 was "very very loud". FYI, i purchased a 5.0 but am still working on stand so do not have it hooked up yet.

I have used Eheim, Waterblaster, Sicce and Laguna and the Laguna was the best IMO with the Sicce in 2nd place. They are quiet and well built and designed to run with crap in the water
