Sicce‘s booth has always been one of the most beautiful of the Interzoo, and this year it revolved around the new Shark PRO filter and a water play that we’re revealing throughout the article.

As per tradition, Sicce‘s booth has a lot to show, both in terms of products that are properly useful for the aquarium and to surprise us with something new. This year the surprise was due to two things in particular. The first one was a beautiful water play, very scenographic, in which a Syncra pump moved water from one aquarium to another using a piping on the ceiling, and from there another pump did the opposite thing and sent the water back into the first aquarium. In the video you can fully understand what we’re talking about.
But before revealing the trick, let’s start with our video of the booth!
Sicce’s booth at the Interzoo 2022 in our video
Before you go on, we leave you to our video so that you can see the booth not only in picture. Clicking on the link you’ll be directly sent to the part about Sicce, but you can also watch the rest of it. The video is in Italian, you only have to turn the English subs on! Enjoy!
The water show that was flewing from one aquarium to the other amazed us as anyone else was passing by the booth. We shared all the same question… but how do the pumps synchronize so well that they don’t flood the stand?
Seriously, the answer is easy… because there was another hydraulic connection between the aquariums that ran under the floor! This doesn’t mean that we didn’t love the idea! Bravo Sicce! To see the system in action you can watch the video above.
The other thing, that doesn’t have anything to do with aquariums, but that spread good mood, was the Spritz corner!
Needless to say what this corner was for, as well as the fact that we enjoyed! These kind of things help to create a group and make an ordinary day a good day. For the second time, bravo Sicce!
The new filter Sicce Shark PRO
But now let’s see the highlight of Nuremberg kermesse: the filter Sicce Shark PRO.
As you can see in the pictures, the filter has 4 cubic sections connected with each other. In the superior part is hosted the body, in the inferior three there’re the filter materials. The cubes are connected through magnets and this makes the filter a real spectacle. Especially when we think about the maintenance!
Well, I spoke about superior and inferior parts, but actually the filter can be used both vertically and horizontally, depending on the aquarium in which we’re going to use it. Each cube has a filtration space of 310 cubic centimeters. The pumps are different based on the number of cubes that you have.
| Shark PRO 500 | Shark PRO 700 | Shark PRO 900 | |
| Pump range | 500 l/h | 700 l/h | 900 l/h |
| Consumption | 4 watt | 7 watt | 10 watt |
| Number of cubes | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Filter volume | 310 cm3 | 620 cm3 | 930 cm3 |
The filter is designed to work also as an aerator, mixing water and air with a small valve on top that you can see in detail in the following gallery.
This is a filter that impressed us for its ease and the possibility to add or remove filter volumes. Moreover, it’s possible to use different media for each cube. It’s obviously suited for freshwater aquariums, but we think that it can be used successfully even in marine ones. Perfect for a quick and practical use of active carbon, zeolite and more. Very well done. We hope to have one soon to test for you!
Skimmer pumps Sicce 1200 SDC
As you surely know, Sicce provides skimmer pumps to many companies. So, the booth couldn’t miss a demonstration of power of the amazing Sicce 1200 SDC.
This pump, if used as a skimming pump connected to a venturi system, can work with only 10 watt. But it has a range of 1200 l/h of air!
Last but not least, the pumps on show
Obviously there where many other return pumps by Sicce.
One last gem… the wireless heaters
Well, not exactly… but take a look at the following picture!
We’re talking about new Sicce‘s heaters, the Jolly Preset! They’re quite tiny and have a power consumption from 5 to 20 watt. Now, image that you’re approaching Sicce‘s booth, you see a bench with small heaters, and that your hawk’s eye immediately makes you realize that there are no power cables near those heaters. You’d immediately think that those are wireless heaters! … But of course not, they were just the terminal casings of the Jolly Preset. But it definitely was a way to impress!
Ah, for the record, we’ve not fallen for it… this time.
