I use the 5 on my 50 gal...and a 3 to mix my salt water

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Reefs

thanks guys! i have the 4 and im planning to use it on my 50 breeder...

i heard Deep Blue is a bad company, unreliable and such so im waiting for the negative comments people on here may have

I use the 3 as my main return and it has been going strong for over a year.
I unplug it nightly when I feed and it always turns back on, instantly.

Going with a Marineland Maxi for my next tank though.

DudE where did you buy the pump and how much you paid for that pump?

Loved my 4 and currently run a 5 on my 120. Great pumps!

Cant remember how much, but I bought mine at Aquarium Village as an emergency replacement for my mag pump.
Which mag pumps are the BIGGEST was of money out there considering there are so many better options.

i paid 56$ with tax and shipping but if you are in NJ might save on the tax which was 4$.

PM me and i will give you the website i dont want to advertise for them here...

Nothing bad to say about the pumps. They are made by a reputable company, and they stand behind them. They are a little cheaper than other brands because they dont do any advertising. We sell a ton of them and never get customer complaints.

awesome pumps. i run 2 of them a 3 and 5. had them for 3 yrs now and not one problem, only pumps i will buy now.

all if not most of deep blue product is extremely cheaply made, the only thing that i like from them is their rimless tanks they make a nice rimless tank but ive noticed a greener tint to their glass than other tanks. the only piece of equipment i ever plan to use is the 36 inch t5 single bulb light over my fresh tank because i worked at an lfs and it only cost me like $16 at the time otherwise wouldnt use any of it

I use a Triton 5 as the return for my system (see below). I've used it since January with no problems. It runs all day except for several 10 minute breaks during feed cycles. Runs at exactly 60 watts; I'm not sure of the actual gph, but it works fine. It has the highest gallons/per watt (heat) of the pumps I could find.

thanks for all the feedback guys! definitely going to use this pump as my return. glad i asked for your opinions.

your tank is amazing!! if i have room to set up another tank i think the one like yours is the way to go.

Really? The 75 I owned was as nice as ANY AGA, Perfecto or Marineland tank I have owned. My 57 Rimless was beautiful and the 120 I saw last week was gorgeous. Green glass? You sure it was a DB tank you saw? NONE of the DB I have mentioned above have had green glass. As you can see from all of the posts in this thread alone if their stuff was so cheaply made would all of us use them and rave about them? Especially a piece of equipment as important as a pump? Not picking an argument just wonder how you've come to our opinion?

 

[Imbarrie]

+1
We all have a great opinion of them after owning them. You don't have a great opinion but you only worked in a store.
What is your experience with DB products?

Thanks for the compliment. Room was a bit of a problem. The dining room table is no longer centered over our ceiling mounted lights! Oh well.
