    im running the sicce 5000 atm but always thought this was over powered for the tank after advice from a past (midlands based) sponsor.

    I have no problems with the pump except it's too noisey.

    I will be running the 5000 on a 4 x 2 x 2. I certainly would not say its over powered at all on your size system. The compact range of pumps are as silent as they get, very good pumps IMO

    silent is good! I heard the sicce is good but I got mine second hand and its always been noisy.



    ok so update the poll to around the 4500-5000 mark with the same 3 brands.

    cheers Chris
