Picked up this beast of a pump. Iwaki MD-100RLT to run the ETSS600 skimmer. I'll try and get it going tomorrow. this pump is huge and heavy and some strange looking impeller!

I can just imagine the size of the impeller. My maxi-jet would seem cute next to it.

Hey Varga, nice trim work. congrats on the deal you got on the pump too.

Mario, thats a crazy video. i thought training dogs was hard, it would take some real dedication to train fish.
