QuietDrive builds on the unique advantages of the VorTech`s magnetically couple design and takes it to the next level. The revolutionary new drive system boasts increased efficiency and significantly reduces motor noise.
First, VorTech took the pump motor out of the aquarium, now QuietDrive takes the noise out of the motor.
Technical Features
![]() Lagoonal Random Mode simulates a low-energy lagoon environment. The speed of the pump is changed slowly to recreate the gentle currents of a lagoon. |
![]() Reef Crest Random Mode simulates a high-energy reef environment. The pump will change speed frequently and drastically to simulate crashing waves and surge tide. This is a favorite of SPS Corals. |
G![]() Gyre Mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform clockwise and counterclockwise flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between two seconds and two hours. |
![]() Short Pulse Mode creates a flow pattern consisting of uniform high and low flow levels pulsing at a selected interval between 0.2 seconds and two seconds. |
![]() Tidal Swell Mode (TSM) creates a harmonic balance reminiscent of the changing flow conditions found in nature. over the course of several hours, the flow pattern will go from very chaotic to calm, followed by a detritus-clearing surge at the very end of the cycle. The flow direction will change direction every cycle. |
![]() Nutrient Transport Mode (NTM) creates circulation in a two-phase program. The first phase uses wave motion to stir up detritus. The second phase follows with a surging motion to move the detritus into the overflow and out of the aquarium. This mode promotes maximum health, nutrient export and increased growth for sensitive corals such as SPS. |
![]() At the touch of a button all VorTech wirelessly enabled pumps will temporarily pause their current mode and idle allowing food to be added to the tank without being cycled into the overflow and filtration. |
![]() Pumps can be enabled to run a gentler night time program simulating calmer ocean conditions for the night time hours. |
![]() All "w" denominated VorTech pumps come with an RF module installed. The RF module will allow up to 8 "w" pumps of any type to work together in sync, anti-sync or coordinated modes. |
![]() All "w" denominated VorTech pumps are compatible with ReefLink. ReefLink provides completely wireless access to the world of EcoSmartLive, the web-based aquarium command center from EcoTech Marine. |

Compact, energy saving, this Hydor Koralia Nano Evolution Circulation Pump is ideal to recreate in aquarium the natural and beneficial water motion of rivers and seas. Supplied with patented magnet-suction cup support for easy and safe positioning, Koralia can be connected to a controller and set to intervals of seconds, minutes or hours. Cable protector include (read instructions for correct positioning).
Are the Koralia Nanos safe for use on wavemakers?
Yes. Like the Koralia Evolutions and Magnums, the Koralia Nano 240 and 425 are designed to handle operation on wavemakers and timers.
Is it normal to hear a click when the Koralia Evolution starts-up?
Yes. You may hear a slight clicking sound when the Koralia Evolution starts-up. This is caused by the impeller resetting itself by hitting the rubber bumper on the inside of the front cover. Removal of the bumper will prevent this noise but, without the bumper the Koralia Evolution can run in reverse.

Smartwave is the new controller for movement and circulation pumps designed by Hydor. In nature, river and sea currents are a vital part of the natural life cycle of aquatic creatures as they promote oxygenation, transport nutrients and food and remove residues that would otherwise pollute.
Hydor Koralia Smart Wave Pump Controller helps recreate these currents which allow a healthy aquarium and uniform water temperature by selecting one of the 2 available programs:

Crossflow Water Movement
Similar to the Maxspect Gyre flow pump, the IceCap 3K is capable of generating the iconic GYRE water movement within aquariums without breaking the bank. Single magnetic mount makes the pump simple to install. 5 Controllable flow modes and programable 24hr flow period.
Crossflow Technology
Standard Propeller Nozzle Technology
Why Gyre Generator and not Wavemaker?
Wavemakers excel in making waves, while waves are spectacular to watch in motion, they are in fact moving the majority of the water vertically up and down, with relatively low horizontal movement, especially near the bottom of the aquarium.
On the other hand, gyre generators excel in moving sheer flow of water from one side of the aquarium to the other. The sheer flow of water is so strong that i would bounce back from the opposite site to achieve full circulation within an aquarium, ie. generating "gyre flows".

Maxi-Jet® multi-use water pumps are three pumps in one: power head, utility pump, and now featuring a circulation pump option. Still the best power head for powering undergravel filters and running wave maker timers, as well as for running small fountains, calcium reactors and skimmers.
New to the Maxi-Jet, the in-box conversion kit, which can turn the power head into a prop style circulation pump for ultimate water movement inside the aquarium--using the least amount of energy! The Maxi-Jet is the most fully adaptable pump available.

The New Sicce Voyager HP or High Performance series builds upon all of the same great features and technology of the models 1 through 4 but takes them to another level.
Features:
The models range from 2800 to 4000 gallons per hour and have innovations that leave them in a class by themselves.
Thanks to the exclusive magnetic support, the Voyagers can be positioned anywhere: on the sides, behind the tank, and around the aquarium's corners. The support system permits them to reach up to 180 degrees vertically and 360 degrees circulatory has endless orientation possibilities. This unique feature allows the units to be mounted on the rear glass of the aquarium without sacrificing its directional range.
The Voyager's versatility in movement and positioning makes it possible to hide them anywhere, assuring optimal performance. The removable front ring insert allows you to regulate the water flow wide or narrow, satisfying even the most particular species needs.
The units have the most durable rotor, ceramic seats, and a ceramic shaft. This, combined with the electronic engineering of the motor, assures that the pump always starts in the correct direction without vibration or noise. The rotor and shaft of the Voyager are wear-resistant beyond compare!
Mounting does not rely on suction cups or a combination of suction with magnets because in a salt water tank or in hard water they become stiff with time, compromising their hold, and causing the pump to become unstable.
The exclusive magnetic support for the Voyager is long-lasting, reliable, ideal for glass up to 3/4" thick and prevents slippage, vibration, and wear on the glass.
The Voyager can be used in fresh water and saltwater aquariums. Maximum inclination, flexibility, silence, and reliability - all in one unit!

Its main feature is an innovative 360 degree rotation system, directing water flow thanks to 4 types of regulation:
1) of the flow rate
2) of the flow direction
3) of the speed of the rotation of the deflector
4) and a 360 degree rotation of the pump support.
All of these allow the the Voyager to perfectly simulate the marine streams! The Voyager can be used in fresh water aquariums. In fact, thanks to innovative flow deviator and rotation system, it is useful to raise the deposits from the bottom of the tank, for better filtration, contributing to cleaner and clearer water.
The Sicce Voyager Stream Pump is furnished with 4 suction cups.
Magnets, for a greater adherence to the glass (up to 3/4" thickness), are optional on the Voyager 1. The exclusive magnetic support, standard for the Voyager 2, 3, and 4 is long-lasting and reliable and is ideal for glasses of 3/4" thick.
The Voyager can be used in fresh water aquariums. In fact, it can be used to raise the deposits from the bottom of the tank for better filtration, contributing to cleaner and clearer water. Maximum inclination, flexibility, silence & reliability - all in one unit!
