With so many options to improve flow within the Fluval EVO 13.5g/52l, what's the best choice? I offer a few recommendations, with some tests comparing different products!

I have the sicce 1.0 and a 1/2” random flow generator with 3 pieces of loc-line. Tank has plenty of flow, and no dead spots.

Does it make noise? My sicce 1.0 is significantly louder than the stock pump. Love the flow on it but wish I considered the vivosun

Thanks for the video! I've been considering getting a Sicce pump for my fluval tank, but I went for the vivosun instead after watching this! Also picked up one of those powerheads. I originally nabbed a Jebao OW-10 but its way too powerful even on its lowest setting. Didn't matter where I put it, it was blowing everything over. It's supposedly 132GPH on the lowest setting. Will be curious to see how the cheap powerhead compares.

Testing powerhead gph idea: measure rpm of a propeller right in front of the outflow of a pump as calibration and then do the same for a powerhead to compare.

Great video 👍 just shutting my 300ltr tank down due to poor health, and now getting my Fluval Evo ready to set up as soon as my fish and tank are sold, so your video as a real eye opener, do yo clean your sand?

Hi Fish Tank Guy! Love your vids! How do you have your stock duck bill return nozzles positioned? I have a similar setup on my EVO 13.5 but with a Jabao Sow-4. Thanks for your time :)

do you dose calcium and alkalinity for your lps corals or do you just keep up with the water changes

I went w the sicce 1.0 for my evo 13.5. U can also add a random flow generator

Best option for Evo to be honest sicce 1.0 and random flow and you don't need to had any power head

I have the jebao DCS 1200l/h, do you think it’s completely necessary to have an adicional pump/wave maker? I have corals I don’t know.

How did u fit the vivosun to the evo? It doesn’t reach the bottom of the tank with the supplied hose from the original pump.

Hey here, I am planning on setting up a 120 gallon mixed reef tank. I want to add two tangs, a purple and tomini tang. I really want a tang trio tho. I I’ll have a refugium and an oversized protein skimmer. Can you please tell me what will be the best third tang for the 120 gallon tank? I will have an oversized refugium and protein skimmer and also feed heavily in the tank. Thanks! Please let me know.

@@TheFishTankGuy I agree. Looks a lot trimmer. I tried the Sicce pumps and it felt a little too tight. And I know down the line I will always be annoyed if I have to take it out. Too uncomfortably tight. Prefer to do your recommendation or the eheim 1000 (fits nicely as well).

@cryptoking2755 2 жыл бұрын

There is definitely some "luck" involved in buying pumps. I don't believe anyone has high enough tolerances as far as the impeller is concerned to make a really quiet pump every time. That being said I am currently using a Quiet One PRO 1200 It fits. Its quiet as long as it isn't touching the glass and it has pretty decent increase in flow.

@TheFishTankGuy 2 жыл бұрын

I definitely agree with you on that. Maybe I should preface my videos by stating it's only based on my experience! Thanks for sharing the pump that's working for you, I will keep it in mind! I actually have a small piece of filter pad in the third chamber so the pump doesn't vibrate against the glass 😊

Did the Sicce fit on the stock pipe?

Yes it did! No extra modifications needed, other than I may have had to cut the tubing a bit.

@@TheFishTankGuy I got the VIVOSUN and I'm going to return. It's adding 4-5 degrees heat on the 13.5g tank. I've been testing it for two weeks now while my tank is in the process of cycling. No pump running its 77-78F. With pump, 82-84F. This is with the heater removed.

In my opinion, it is. It will have a low hum, but it's just as quiet, if not more quiet than the stock pump! Lol, I've been there man, the fish tank on our bedroom didn't make it when we moved haha
