TMC REEF-Pump 1000 DC 12V – Controllable Aquarium Return Pump

The TMC REEF-Pump 1000 DC 12V is a compact, controllable aquarium return pump designed for freshwater and marine systems. Delivering a maximum flow rate of 1000 litres per hour, its small footprint makes it particularly useful where sump space is limited.

A 10-speed variable controller gives you convenient control over the pump output, allowing the flow to be adjusted to suit your aquarium setup. The pump also features an integrated 10-minute feed mode, temporarily stopping operation during feeding to help prevent food from being drawn into the sump or filtration system.

Designed for quiet, energy-efficient operation, the REEF-Pump 1000 combines a low-voltage 12V DC design with practical flow control, making it a versatile choice for new aquarium installations or as an upgrade to an existing return pump.
