SDC WiFi Controllable Pumps
Sicce SDC pumps are built for hobbyists who want precise flow control, quiet operation, and remote access from their phone. Each pump includes a WiFi-capable controller and connects to the free Sicce ContrALL app, making it easy to adjust flow, monitor performance, and fine-tune your return pump from anywhere.
The standard SDC models are excellent choices for return pump applications on aquariums up to 400 gallons, while the PSK SDC 1200 is designed as a controllable upgrade for protein skimmers using the popular PSK 1200 or similarly sized skimmer pumps. Select SDC pumps also include internal temperature monitoring, allowing you to track aquarium water temperature and receive alerts if temperatures move outside your set range.
Syncra Silent Pumps
Syncra Silent pumps are one of the most trusted AC pump options in the aquarium hobby. They are quiet, durable, easy to use, and available in a wide range of sizes, making them a great fit for return pump applications, media reactors, algae scrubbers, water changes, and general utility use.
With reliable flow and a strong reputation for long-term performance, Syncra Silent pumps are a smart choice when you need dependable water movement without overcomplicating your setup.
Syncra PRO Pumps
Syncra PRO pumps are designed for strong, quiet performance in a versatile AC pump format. They can be used internally or externally, making them a practical option for return pump duty, utility applications, and other aquarium plumbing needs.
Each pump includes manual flow control, thermal protection, and standard threaded inlet and outlet connections. With multiple sizes available and flow rates up to 1500 GPH, Syncra PRO pumps are a solid choice for hobbyists who want reliable performance and straightforward setup.
Nano Pumps
Sicce nano pumps are compact, versatile pumps designed for small aquariums and tight spaces. Models like the MI Mouse, Micra, MicroPlus, and Syncra Nano are useful for pico reef tanks, desktop aquariums, small fountains, terrariums, vivariums, and other low-flow applications.
Their small footprint makes them easy to hide, while the gentle flow is well suited for smaller setups where oversized pumps can create too much water movement.
XStream Wave Pumps & SDC Powerheads
Sicce XStream pumps deliver wide, effective flow in a compact design that does not dominate the look of your aquarium. With models offering up to 2250 GPH, they are a strong option for creating circulation, reducing dead spots, and supporting healthy coral movement.
The XStream lineup includes traditional AC-powered options as well as the controllable XStream SDC, which connects to the Sicce ContrALL app for wireless flow adjustments. Quality materials, a ceramic bearing, magnetic mount, pre-lubricated impeller, and noise-dampening design help keep these pumps quiet and dependable.
Voyager Stream Pumps
Voyager stream pumps are a simple, affordable way to add dependable flow to your aquarium. Their magnetic mounts hold securely to the aquarium wall, while the adjustable cradle makes it easy to aim flow where your tank needs it most.
Available in multiple sizes, Voyager pumps are a practical choice for hobbyists who want reliable water movement without app control or extra setup steps.
Whale, Space EKO, and Mega Filtra Canister Filters
Sicce offers three canister filter lines to match different aquarium needs, each delivering reliable external filtration without the need for a sump. Whale canister filters are known for their ease of use and maintenance-friendly design, making them a popular choice for everyday filtration. Space EKO filters focus on efficiency and simplicity, offering solid performance in a streamlined, budget-friendly package. Mega Filtra rounds out the lineup with higher-capacity filtration designed for larger aquariums or setups that demand increased media volume and flow.
All three lines provide a clean way to run mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration while keeping equipment out of the display. With features like media baskets, secure connections, and straightforward servicing, they are a practical solution for freshwater aquariums, planted tanks, turtle tanks, and other systems where accessible, contained filtration is key.
Aqua Filtra Hang-On Power Filters
Sicce internal and hang-on power filters are built for aquariums that need compact, easy-to-service filtration without a full sump or external canister filter. Aqua Filtra, Shark Skim, and Shark PRO options give hobbyists flexible ways to add mechanical filtration, water polishing, surface skimming, and media-based filtration to smaller or more streamlined setups.
These filters are useful for freshwater aquariums, saltwater holding systems, quarantine tanks, nano aquariums, and maintenance-focused applications where simple access and dependable performance matter.
Shark & Shark Pro Internal Filters
Sicce Shark and Shark Pro internal filters offer a compact, all-in-one filtration solution that fits directly inside your aquarium. They are designed to handle mechanical, biological, and chemical filtration in a small footprint, making them a practical choice for tanks where space is limited.
The modular media baskets allow you to customize filtration based on your setup, while the magnetic mounting system makes installation and maintenance simple. With adjustable flow and easy access to media, these filters are a reliable option for improving water clarity and overall tank stability.
Shark Internal Protein Skimmers and Mini SKIM
Sicce Shark internal protein skimmers are compact, in-tank skimmers designed for aquariums where a sump or full-size external skimmer is not an option. They provide simple, space-saving filtration by helping remove dissolved organic waste before it breaks down and affects water quality.
The Mini SKIM is built for smaller aquariums that need extra nutrient control without a bulky setup. Its internal design makes it easy to install, while the compact footprint helps keep filtration practical for nano tanks, quarantine systems, and other space-limited aquariums.
Scuba, Contactless & Jolly Submersible Heaters
Sicce offers a range of aquarium heaters designed to match different tank sizes and control preferences. The Scuba heaters provide adjustable temperature control for a wide variety of aquarium setups, making them a dependable choice for maintaining stable conditions. Contactless heaters take a more advanced approach with external temperature sensing and control, helping reduce equipment inside the tank while maintaining consistent heating performance. Jolly heaters are compact, preset options designed specifically for small aquariums, delivering simple, reliable temperature control in a space-saving form.
Whether you're setting up a nano tank or managing a larger system, Sicce heaters are built for consistent performance and easy integration. From compact designs to more advanced control options, each line is designed to help maintain stable water temperatures without adding unnecessary complexity.
Ultra Zero Utility Pump & Pump Clean
The Sicce Ultra Zero is a handy maintenance pump designed for water changes, sump cleaning, and moving water from one container to another. Its bottom-draw design can continue pumping in very shallow water, helping remove more water from buckets, reservoirs, and sumps than a standard utility pump.
Pump Clean is Sicce’s citric acid-based cleaner made to help remove calcium buildup and other deposits from aquarium pumps. Regular pump cleaning every few months helps maintain flow, reduce noise, and extend the life of your equipment.
