Voyager Nano (270 GPH) - Sicce

The Sicce Voyager Nano is a low-wattage circulation pump built for nano and small aquariums where space, noise, and energy draw are all considerations. At 270 GPH and 2.8 watts, it delivers meaningful water movement without contributing meaningfully to heat load or electricity costs. Sicce's reputation for quiet operation carries through to the Voyager Nano — the motor runs at a noise level that suits installations in living spaces where pump hum is a real concern.

One of the more practical engineering decisions Sicce made with this pump is the self-cleaning and self-lubricating impeller chamber. Water is actively directed into the chamber during operation, flushing debris and keeping internal tolerances lubricated. The result is reduced maintenance frequency and a longer operational lifespan compared to pumps that require regular disassembly to address calcium and debris buildup. The fine-slotted intake grid provides an additional layer of protection, keeping fish fins and soft invertebrates clear of the impeller.

The Voyager Nano ships with a vibration-dampening magnetic mount that swivels to allow directional adjustment without removing the pump from the glass. The mount is rated for glass up to 12mm thick. For flow variation, the pump accepts simple ON/OFF control signals from any compatible controller or timer, making it straightforward to incorporate into surge, pulse, or programmed wavemaker patterns using a ReefKeeper, Neptune Apex, or the Sicce Wave Surfer accessory.

This pump is best suited to aquariums in the nano to mid-size range where a single low-draw powerhead provides adequate supplemental flow or targeted circulation in a specific region of the tank. It carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty and a 7.2-foot cord, which provides reasonable reach to most sump-level outlets without an extension.
