Sicce Syncra Water Pump

We've been very happy with the quality and performance of Sicce (pronounced "see-chay") pumps since using the PSK-1000 pinwheel pumps on our skimmers. Here is what Sicce has to say about these pumps:
The Syncra Silent is new range of energy efficient pumps that is absolutely silent. Don't be fooled - these pumps are powerful and versatile. Ideal for fresh and salt water aquariums, protein skimmers, indoor fountains, water-cooling and all submersible and in-line applications which require high performance and total silence. Thanks to Sicce's 35 years of experience, Syncra Silent are equipped with a synchronous motor and an advanced rotor which makes the pumps 100% silent.

Syncra Silent v1.5
I've got this little pump in a sump under a large vivarium. The pump powers a waterfall & stream. Head is about 4.5 feet. Pump is plenty strong, so I installed a tee and ball valve to divert about half the flow back into the sump, instead of the vivarium. This is with the pump's built-in flow controller already cranked all the way down. I expect to get a long service life out of this machine, as I'm not overworking it. Biggest plus of this pump is the noise however - very little noise. I'd buy another of these in a heartbeat.
Sicce Syncra Nano pump
I bought the Sicce Syncra Nano pump in conjunction with the small Spyglass Reactor kit. I use the reactor as a Purigen fluidized bed reactor and the pump provides more than enough flow to fluidize the Purigen to an ideal level 1/2 to 2/3 up the reactor chamber; it can blow the Purigen out of the reactor but flow is dialed back with the inlet ball valve supplied with the kit.
