You know what would use less energy? Lowbudget with a straw.

I had really good luck with my old ATB... I just recently replaced the impeller after 4 or more years. The pump still starts up right away.

Wanna just buy mine?

I did get the Aqua Maxx CO5 for my new build though. Some of them have sicce, others do not.

My ATB have been very good to me but kinda like Sanchas you gotta switch them after a few years. Lol j/k Going more with DC pumps.
If Aqua Maxx CO3 was DC no need for this thread. Lol

Yes, all the curve A series are non controllable hybrid AC/DC pump. Design for hobbyist that dont want controllable feature and but are power conscious. Bubble Magus is better brand that have been around a lot longer so you would more for a BM then a YCA. Replacement pump or replacement impeller for either brand are around $100/$50 respectively, replacement controller for YCA is roughly $50-$80. I have clean the pump once since its been in use.

I'm a control freak so I rather go with the YCA. Thanks for the info!!

Is there a advantage or disadvantage on the outlet from the DC20 and DC22? I see it is different angel from the intake

No, there is no advantage. Only difference is that the DC20 is a seamless wine body, while the DC22 is a hybrid semi-cone.
