Can you remind me, are you wanting a herbie setup and do you need the setup to be very quiet?
Also, I run about 1600gph with my two DCP 8000's, so 1400 should be no problem.

I will be running a herbie style set up and would like for it to be as quite as possible. Girlfriend always complained about the FX5 I had running on my other tank with how loud it was. But thats good to knowCan you remind me, are you wanting a herbie setup and do you need the setup to be very quiet?

Yea looking at the most cost affective. If I can get the DCT or DCS close to $100 a piece I will probably go that route since I would rather not spend $150 for the newer pump that would be larger. Want to run at a low setting so its not loud obviously as you know. Trying to order these today to get my butt moving with the rest of the filtrationImo these pumps are all adjustable and wont be a huge difference between dct, dcs, and dcp or what ever new model they come out with next week lol go for what is gonna get you near the gph range your looking for and whats most cost effective.
If you're running a herbie setup, I would recommend spending the additional on the DCP pumps. The fine adjustability on them makes tuning the herbie very easy. I don't even have a trickle in my emergency drain because I can back down or bump up my pumps so slightly that I can get the water line to just under my emergency drain.I will be running a herbie style set up and would like for it to be as quite as possible.

Do you like your DCP pumps?
I never knew there was a dual controller, so no. LolJ jaws7777 Fish Tank Travis do you guys run the dual controller at all? I forgot to ask
I do like being able to adjust the increments on such a small scale like your saying so its definetly a thought. Might need to take another day to research them some more. I just like that I can find the DCS 12000 for about $110 a piece right now.I never knew there was a dual controller, so no. Lol
Here's a picture of my controllers mounted in my stand.

And I only found out there is a controller because I ended up on fish streets website and they seem to be the only ones that have it lol. Learn something knew every day
I run mine at 56-60% each. I keep them even.also what setting do you have your DCP-8000s at Fish Tank Travis ? I just want to run my pumps at the lowest setting I can get to prevent noise as well as not wear them to much. Wondering if the DCP-10000 with 2640gph would be ok or if I had to go up to the 15000. Obviously want to be overpowered
