bpounds1991 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hey guys I have a Syncra here for sale, took it out of the box and fitted it to the tank, turned it on and it was too strong for the overflow I have (irritating when the tank builder rates it wrong!). Looking to get 60$ shipped Link to comment
bpounds1991 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Still has original box, literally used for 5 minutes max. Link to comment
FlamingPrawn Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Anyone with a Fusion 20 I HIGHLY recommend this pump. Keep all the ugly powerheads out of your display Link to comment

bpounds1991 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I had it on a custom acrylic AIO, for some reason one of the overflows in the back won't allow for much flow so it only allows for about 240 GPH, this think would just suck the last chamber dry in a matter of 10 seconds Link to comment

bpounds1991 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I got this one because it's a little more affordable and it's easily adjustable, but even at the low end it was still too much for the tank. Let's just say I'm lucky I still had my other one from my old tank ? And the tank I believe is roughly 26 gallons. It's a 30x18x13 with 4" of width in the back chambers Link to comment

bpounds1991 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Oh they were lol, if anything that would increase flow and make matters worse, but everything was Teflon taped and secured completely and it was just too much flow even adjusted as low as possible (350 GPH) Link to comment

Hig789 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Is this pump adjustable like the Tunze silence pumps? They look identical to me. Edit. They are identical in looks. Did you try turning the knob to cut the flow back some? Link to comment
bpounds1991 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah it's adjustable, 357 is on the low end and I had it turned down all the way lol. It's just too much so I ordered a Sicce .5, still available BTW Link to comment
