Poll: What size DC pump wouuld you want?
 

If you were in the market for a Controlled DC return pump that is new and exciting. What size would you want?

i hit the wrong one.... id say as large as i could get as they are controllable so if i ever decide i need more flow, or less flow, the option is a button away.

on my frag system i went with the largest one i could get at the time and its nice because i can power all my reactors, and use it as a return at the same time. If i decide to go a different route with my reactors i can simply dial the pump down

I voted larger. I have 12'-14' of head to overcome for a 210.

I voted smaller as I don't need much more than 4000lph

I am on the fence, but am interested in a DC pump to replace my Eheim 1262

love to get a DC pump for their efficiency won't need to be controllable but 1000gph at 14-15' be great

Would love to get my hands on a few DC wave pumps for tanls as large as 10ft X 7ft X 36" high...that said my vote goes to larger is better..lol.

My vote is larger as well (would love to run a big closed loop with a couple). I'm also waiting for someone to release a pressure rated DC pump for aquariums (they exist in other applications). Be nice to have one that could run a Beckett skimmer and or eductors.

I was thinking bigger would be popular and was just told that 12000 is the biggest they can do for the time being(in DC).

But i did squeeze some numbers outa them. Would be nice to have a graph of where the head drops off... but the head is looking the same or better then most others out there at the moment. Not to mention the power usage is coming in quite low.

MODEL DC-6000 DC-9000 DC-12000
Valtage 24V 24V 24V

max draw 6000L/H 9000L/H 12000L/H

Got testers in and figured i would show a few pics.

This is the dc12000:

If my math is right, that's only roughly 400 gph for the 1200 with 14 feet of head. Too little for my needs :(
