ViaAqua pumps?

[gobucks1]

I was looking for pumps and i came across these. http://www.petsolutions.com/ViaAqua-Water-Pumps+I16972113+C49.aspx


480 gph for $19? Thats pretty cheap.
Anyone have experience with these?


BTW it will be on a 125 Long or 150.

Anyone?

yes, i do. i have been using the 480 for threee years now, with a few interruptions. it is silent and durable. plus the flow is adjustable. i like them myself.

480gph @ 0ft head? What is it's rating at 5ft?

 

[galen]

the 480 is just the mode number, it really pumps 200 gph at 0'.
the chart at the link should help at gph @such and such feet.
