The New Maxspect Jump pumps are coming in 2020 and they will offer 4 new models that range from 1585 GPH – 3170 GPH. The four centrifugal pumps in the series deliver flow rates from 1,585 gallons per hour up to 3,170 GPH. Like other DC pumps, the pump includes wired external controller. The 4-button controller allows you to increase or decrease the pump speed, toggle between different pulsing flow modes, and idle the pump in feed mode.

What stood out the most to me was the “tower of power“.  At the bottom of the tower was a relatively small pump, probably a beta or prototype VarioS-8 DC controllable pump. As you can see from the video (see link above), the pump is very powerful but what you may not be able to tell is that the pump is also very quite, making it ideal for home aquarium instillations.  Reef Octopus has been in the testing lab for several months and CoralVue
