  1. Sump pump suggestions ??

    Thanks, Yeah, I get the feeling that the Rio is a little too cheap. I think I'll get the Mag, everybody seems to like it.
  2. Sump pump suggestions ??

    Yesterday I bought a 20g glass tank to use as a sump for my 40g w 45lb LR. I'm not sure what to get as a return pump. I'm thinking that a Rio 2100 might work (and its cheap), or has anyone had positive experience with a Mag 5? Thanks
