Think how much cash you lose with a cheap pump that fails w/o you realizing it for 2 days. All of the sudden the good pumps don't seem so expensive.

Laguna pond pumps are high quality too.......very low wattage for the water they push.......they use Siccee pumps.........Italian made and they are the common choice of manufacturers who modify them to use on high end protein skimmers. You think us growers are anal about our equipment, we don't hold a candle to the saltwater coral guys. I've seen 100 gallon setups that have over 15k put into equipment ONLY!!!

This is not to pump the Nutrients to the table.. This is just to keep the nutrients in suspension IMO you dont need a 250$ pump to do that. I have a 40$ pump that works just fine..

appreciate it!!!
but mine is the 6045 with the new titanium shaft, which is $91 on your website.....
Ya just noticed wrong model. Im just glad you did not spend 250$ on a recerc pump. Thats a great price for that model...
ya, that kat on ebay has those so cheap, i swear they must be stolen....
i looked for 3 days and those pumps are half the price of most places....
had to hit him up to lower the cost on shipping as he wanted $10 each, got 8 sent for $20.....
You are using those in a 25 gallon res? Mine are 23 so I want to make sure, seems like a lot of flow.
I forgot you just dont buy 1 lol..... I use a 1600gph in a 25g these pumps have a wide disbursement its not so strong.. This is why you cant use these to pump water any distance they dont have any head pressure.

Notice at the bottom of the page, he has the voltage/frequency listed at 230v/50hz and 115v/60hz in parentheses. Might wanna check with the seller............if they are the former, they'll only work in Europe.

Says works with US outlet. It also says comes with homemade parts?? Im woundering if he made something so it will work here in the US...

These guys are also inline pumps 185 up. Keep the pump out of the rez and stick an intake at the bottom and the output @ the surface to exchange gas and keep nutes stirred.
Depends on how many rez's you got whether it makes sense or not.

He already purchased the Tunze.. Those pumps are not Recirculation pumps..
Thats a sweet pump for a great price krunch nice score. I love the aim-able jet for the best possible stirring. That pump and a bait aerator turn them on for 10min or so before you flood and you are set. Keep alive areators are the bomb but you want to get the thru hull models work great on 100gallon tanks, but you say 27 gallons is all you have I'd run a mag drive to shoot juice down into your rez to fully aerate it. Just stirring will work fine but adding some extra DO just before flood makes it even better for the roots. Are you gravity draining or pumping out your nutrients...cant wait to see your setup man.

A Maxijet 1200 with a prop mod is dirt cheap and uber reliable. I ran one in my reef 24/7 for years with no failures.

i'm confused i guess. how much circulation do you need in your rez? i ran a homemade e/f and simply used a sump pump and split the tube running to the tray to produce a waterfall effect adding DO while it was filling the tray 3x daily, along with small airpump/stone. isn't this enough?
