At a Neptune Event hosted by a local LFS the rep from Neptune talked about the 15 and 20 being essentially the same pump, just one comes with the power supply to provide the power necessary to increase flow for the cor20. So I’m curios if that is still the case. So if I buy a cor20 could it be run with just a 1link making it essentially a 15? And will a separate power substation ply be available as a replacement part for the 20 as well as to upgrade the 15 to a 20?
That is correct. The pump body is identical between the two pumps. The driver is different. The COR-20 driver has a power supply input as well as AquaBus. The COR-15 only has a 1Link connector. In theory someone could buy the COR-15 and turn it into a COR-20 by changing the driver and adding a power supply, but it would likely not be a cost effective thing to do.
I had it in my hands today at Exotic Aquariums, something to consider getting soon. Can this pump be install in a 90 gallons square tank? But am more interested in the trident any news on that.
A good rule of thumb for these internal pumps is to take the power at the wall, multiply by 0.8, and that is about the amount of heat going into the water (equivalent to a heater of the same size). For the most part, most of the more modern DC pumps of this class (and powerheads for that matter) have very similar power dissipation at the pump and amount of heat transferred into the water.
I LOVE my Neptune products. I have an Apex Jr as well as 2016 apex with a ton of extra add ons and modules. My only complaint is the plastic housing on the newer stuff looks and feels SO cheap. It is a shame, I wouldn't buy this pump because it fits in to that category. When I spend good money on something, I like it to feel and look like it cost good money,
Yes, it could be depending on how high your ceilings are, if you put the sump in the basement up off the floor, how much flow you want through your sump and also if you plumb it with 1.25" or even 1.5" from the pump. There are many factors to consider. Do not expect 10x turnover through the sump.
No it can not, look at the pump curve based on head height. Its just another example of a DC Drive pump not design for flexibility! The driving factor here is the Apex Ready pump.............I get it, but if you want a pump that actually is designed with remote capabilities vs a under tank Sump..............Go with Royal Exclusiv or Abyzz.....................These are designed to handle this typ of situation. The goal for this pump and many others when it was nothing more than a concept was to hit the masses, when that is the #1 priority it takes higher Back pressure Flexibility out of the equation.
After having a brand new Apex controller almost nuke my tank out of the box and their tech department verify it to be faulty and their notoriously inaccurate probes, I'll hold off on giving Neptunes anymore of my money until they put more emphasis on quality control. They should start running reefs of their own so they can understand the importance of the word STABILITY in the hobby.

Hmm, even when I’m reseller and a shop, it’s serious drama and weeks of dealing with your European representation/distribution, product can’t be yet really reviewed, some of them are few months old, especially Cor. Power bar with WiFi Apex full system for Europe is outdated, it’s not the one you’ve release in 2016 in US, the one you have released in EU is old version of 2013 US power bar, looks to me you’re selling us your old stock. We have two of cor-20 installed in two different client system and we will be happy to review them in near future under our shop account. If your customer service and EU support is as it look, I’ll will list them on eBay ASAP, and convince our customers it was wrong choice and move to ecotech ... really disappointed with your representation here, and there is a serious ticket going on, that no one replied from part of Neptune systems EU, which they have not been addressed in it. German brands are mostly dominating market in marine tank equipment, and they pioneers, again I’m really disappointing from image you project to us here, and all the ignorance. Fair well Neptune
Actually the pump is 2000 GALLONS per hour, not liters. So, it is slightly less powerful than your 9000LPH pump. But we understand - you have a pump - no need to change if its working for you!
Pumps are available for Pre orders. 👍
I was about to tag you to this one but i'm sooooo late. its pre painted Orange and gray orange and gray. :)
Hey team, I’m reaching out to ask what is the best size to plumb my W/C station with? Is the 1” input of the COR-20 the max or best?
I have 1 inch plumbing do i need to buy anything to run this?
Mine wont eork in standalone mode
Martinis in the background. Celebrating the release? 🍸🍸🍸
Glad someone noticed!
Puff Daddy Reef hehe
When are you going to make a core for nano tank

Neptune Systems thanks for the clarification. Cor20 pre ordered.
Will the Cor have the same wave functions as the WAV's in a closed loop role? Specifically Malibu? Or do we have to manually program the varied flow?
At the moment Apex Fusion only has the capability to ramp the COR up or down over time.
Any launch or pricing information available yet? Can’t wait for more trident news as well.
Pre-order will begin tomorrow - initial supplies are limited
Between 200 and 400
I had it in my hands today at Exotic Aquariums, something to consider getting soon.
Can this pump be install in a 90 gallons square tank?
But am more interested in the trident any news on that.
Yes it is the perfect size for a 90g. We are still working hard on the Trident.
You didn't talk about heat comparison. How does it compare to the competition with heat output?
A good rule of thumb for these internal pumps is to take the power at the wall, multiply by 0.8, and that is about the amount of heat going into the water (equivalent to a heater of the same size). For the most part, most of the more modern DC pumps of this class (and powerheads for that matter) have very similar power dissipation at the pump and amount of heat transferred into the water.

Get 2? 🤔
Would this be ok for a 150 with a basement sump?
Yes, it could be depending on how high your ceilings are, if you put the sump in the basement up off the floor, how much flow you want through your sump and also if you plumb it with 1.25" or even 1.5" from the pump. There are many factors to consider. Do not expect 10x turnover through the sump.

Must be getting close to release.
Pre-order will begin tomorrow - initial supplies are limited
Cool pump. Gonna be for sale in Belgium or Holland?
Eventually yes. Likely in Q2/2018
Neptune Systems ok cool !!!
Is it too powerful for the Nano category?
curious my self My tanks are only 20g and 32 gallons might be a massive pump for Nano.
Likely too powerful. But it really depends on the aquarium.
How long will pre-order last?
A limited supply has been allocated to stores to ship out in January.
How about news on the trident system? Much better than this pump,
No 1link support? I hate power supplies and cables!
The COR-15 uses 1Link. This pump uses too much power for it to be driven by a 1Link connection.

Now get the trident out!

Fair well Neptune
This thing seems like a copy of the varios 8 reef octopus return pump
Not the amazing 2000lt wow I'd stick to my 9000lt

These are garbage don’t buy it
