I've used CA and CAP pumps, both of which are in the same price range as the rios but are much more reliable. I have mentioned this in chat before but I am suprised no one mentions much about them as I find them very reliable for the price.

Just my 2 pesos...

Take er easy

Where do you buy these? I need one.

AHH thanks!
Oh yea, which model is recommended in SW, the smallest one they makes seems like what I will use on my CLS.

I use a little giant 3mdq on my 240 cichlid tank, been running for 51/2 years without fail. It is a rather large pump though, so if your stand doesnt have a lot of space you might have trouble plumbing it in.

I ran quiet one pumps sucessfully for three years in a FO tank when i was stationed in Ca. Had no problems with them.

Just got my first MAG pump installed yesterday so i will have to wait and see on that one.

Allen Stiner - 123Ponds.com <astiner@123ponds.com>Recommended me the 2400EXC10, it produces more flow less pressure than their others, which is more than I need.

Like said above, myreef and aquaticecosystems have them. custom aquatics carry them too. However, the chappest place I ahve found is a pond place in PA. They even ahve them on sale right now as well as some other new sequence series pumps. They don't carry the saltwater ones themselves, but will ahve them drop-shipped directly from the manufacturer. Here is a link:
