Does anyone have experience with the Eheim brand of external pumps? If you do please include any pros, or cons associated with this brand.
Thanks

Thanks wit. Are they quiet? Yeah I noticed the price, but if it's a good pump and will last a couple of years then it would be worth it.

I've used the internal/external eheim pumps if that is what you are talking about.
IMO they don't put out much flow for the price/size though. If I were to go with an exteranl pump I'd rather go with a Velocity, Dolphin or something designed for external only. The inlets and outlets on the eheim are tiny.
I gotta rant here for a sec too. I wish all these manufacturers would get away from using thin plastic to make their "external" pumps. I hate it, go back to making the old metal housings that didn't crack or bust the threads when putting piping on them...
End of rant..
