![]() AquaMaxx Magnus VSB-12000 DC Water Pump by Sunpole?
Current USA eflux dc pump 6011? Is vertex aquaristik working on a new dc pump see a section on there website for a greater than 200w & lesser than 200w dc pump ? Would love to run 2 Neptune Cor 20 pumps just don't think I can get the flow out of them. I'm hoping someone here might have experience with one of those pumps. Or knows of a more suitable pump . Open to accept ac or dc pump.i am having a 24"x24"x86" tank built with a downstairs sump looking at around 11 feet of head pressure.I want two of these one on each return 1 1/2" pipe all the way back to the tank any info would be greatly appreciated especially if it comes from first-hand experience.I know about the abyzz,& the red dragon.but I have a hard time justifying there hefty price tag . I could go with a single larger one of their pumps or I could have two of these and have enough left over for a two spares.i am presently running a Iwaki MD-70RLT ON MY 180G that I will be replacing .my wife finds the Iwaki too loud.

![]() I'm using a single sunpole 12000 as a remote sump return pump.
Quiet? Yes, it is quiet. I am using it on a bsmt sump, 1.5" return line which splits into 2 at the tank. I have roughly 8' vertical and 14' horizontal plumbing and some 90s etc. It suits my needs. I would prefer a bit more flow, but an abyzz is not in my budget.

![]() I’m using the Sunpole 9000 with 1 inch return lines. This pump has been awesome for my 305g tank. The pump is virtually quiet, has adjustments on the controller, feed mode and best of all a power button on the controller (no more unplugging the cord)

![]() How long have you been running it for dose the quality seem good is there much heat buildup in the controller.

![]() You don’t want too much turnover in your sump. The larger pump is great if you have extensive horizontal and vertical runs.

![]() I have a150g sump now & will turn my 180g into my sump. Over 2/3 will be refugium running Triton system. Shooting for 5 times the display turnover. Think it best not to max out a motors rated capability. I like the flexibility of being able to ramp up the flow rate to be able deep clean my tank & remove suspended particles.

![]() I am away from my tank usually between 10 days possibly a few months this winter & by running two pumps at 50%then if one goes then I can bump up the other to 100%.
Until I can get home or have someone that I deem capable of swapping out my pump. I find larger motors to make less noise at 50% then being maxed out. Will be close to 11 feet of head presser. |

![]() I also think having an oversized pump running at slower speeds will reduce heat of its components making it last longer. Just my thoughts I could be totally wrong though.
