Nice I use some of their light for freshwater. Only have 1” Durso on 180, have Sicce Syncra 3.0, Sicce 3.0 SDC retuning through AC, and Neptune Cor 20 at 30%. The 270 ordered with 3 1” trains so hopefully can close loop the UV and and turn up the Cor 20.
My experience: Have 2 small Hygger wave makers; 4years old and 3 years old. The basic Controller options are where they fall short compared to the higher end stuff that I lm using. They have more than adequate control options, nonetheless. Another issue is they don’t offer very many larger tank device options. Hopefully, they will one day. Regardless, mine were worth every absolute penny I spent on them. If one of my Hygger flow mules breaks down I won’t think twice to replace it with a newer Hygger model. After watching this, without hesitation it will be a part of my newest 60g build. Should be perfect for my needs. Thank you for the great content!
I do wonder about long term reliability and power use-35 watts is quite high. How does that compare to your varios pump at the same flow rate? How’s the noise and vibration?
Varios goes up to 98 watts. It was drawing roughly 42 watts at step 3. I have silicone tubing on the pumps so it is definitely quiet for both pumps. Obviously the $450 pump is better. But this budget option is great. The prices in the hobby have gotten out of control and I appreciate companies trying to deliver entry level products to help newer reefers.

Glad I could help! It's nice to see Hygger expand their offerings to larger tanks, they've really been nailing it with their smaller pumps.
