I am running a waveline dc12000 and have it dialled back to just under 50%
It moves a lot of water, considering I have it pumping my returns and a manifold with outputs for 2 reactors and another return to my fuge.
It is also able to pump water up through my ceiling and across my home for water changes no problem.

My only issue is that it is not dead quiet like I had expected. There is a slight whining noise that is obvious when its running.
It does blend in with the hum of my vortechs, so its not too bad.

Make sure you get the new larger heat sink, I think all gen2 models should have it. Huge improvement over the first gen that were cooled with the small cpu fan.


How many feet of pipe do you have it pumping through? And how high is that water being pumped.

If your referring to my water change system, it goes about 8 feet up and 75 feet across the ceiling through one inch flex pvc to the other side of my basement, so about 85 feet total lol

Ok, I should be fine then. I have max 5 feet up 10 feet over.

Will be running four 1" spaflex returns, manifold with capability of handling 3 reactors.

The water flows. Adding rodi to fragtank side. Will add display into system once all plumbing arrives this week.

I have got the big new heat sink controller. They send it free on warranty. The fan was making noise so they just send a whole new controller I have the 10,000

Few minor leaks that need to be looked into, other then that, first 2 tanks in system are running, salinity is around 1.010 right now.

I still need one 1.5" threaded elbow to finish display overflow, so if anyone local has one laying around...
