See whether you want to plumb it ext or not.

My views:

If ext:

In order of preference

MD55 ** very powerful

Ehiem 1262

if internal:

Ehiem 1262

Rio HF32 ** very hot

I will not recommend Aquabee3000 as i used it and it is very.. :pinch::pinch: For the price, i rather get a Ehiem 1262

Eheim is a very good choice.. Very reliable and very safe to put it outside unlike those china brands... ;)

HAIZ.. only wish that my favourite pump is available in Singapore then all these wont be an issue le.. and i can promise tat eheim can be the 2nd to this brand.. If you all are scrubbing your heads, I am talking about SELTZ from Hydor.. 10watts can power 1000l/h :whistle better than eheim! and 23watts can power 1700l/h! it is really tat brillant! but sadly dont have this pump around cause the sole distributor in singapore doesnt want to bring them in... HAIZ... if anyone knows that guy, please please please tell him to do so.. i need those pumps! otherwise i gotta settle for Rena which is in my opinion not bad.. ranked 3rd in my standards...

Aquabee 3000 or OR 3500.

Would like to recommend OR range of pumps. They are power efficient and good quality. Currently using OR6500 for return, OR3500 w/needlewheel for skimmer and another OR3500 for feeding water into skimmer. They are quiet and not hot when in operation unlike ehiems. jsut 2 cents worth

not true.

Rio 17HF 55 watts 1090 840 660 10 13/16"

Rio 20HF 60 watts 1290 990 870 10.8 13/16"

Rio 26HF 100 watts 1590 1350 1140 13 1"

how can a pump that only consume 60 watts (RIO 20HF) be hotter than Ehiem 1262 that consume 80 watts ? Beside, the RIO generate more flow, 1290 gph vs 900 gph @ zero head lost ...

Not to mention that it is cheaper as well .. :P

Only way to know, go touch one :lol:

Yup, find tt rio runs hotter than ehiem. Perhaps someone who has both can do a simple test.

run both pump in 2 seperate similar tub/pail of water for the same duration. Measure the water temp :P

The two OR6500 pumps I got before all died within days or weeks of operations. I had a very bad experience before, during and long after I bought these accursed pumps. They were also extremely noisy then.

Then again, it must be my personal very very bad luck as I still have not gotten my replacement yet. Sigh.

      BITCOIN RECOVERY SIMPLIFIED, DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECOVERY CUTTING-EDGE SOLUTIONS.

      contact@ digitaltechguard .com website link:: https://digitaltechguard.com telegram +56 997 059 700 Being an artist living in Miami, my life has always been filled with creativity, inspiration, and the ups and downs of a fluctuating income. However, nothing could prepare me for the financial blow I experienced when I fell victim to an online scam. Losing $25,000 felt like losing a part of my identity, as those funds represented not just my savings but also dreams and aspirations for my art. I found myself feeling lost, anxious, and uncertain about the future. In the midst of this turmoil, I began searching for solutions to recover my lost funds. That’s when I came across Digital Tech Guard Recovery. Initially, I was skeptical. Like many, I had read about recovery services that promised the world but often delivered nothing. However, my instincts told me to reach out to them, and I’m so glad I did. From the very first interaction, the team at Digital Tech Guard Recovery was professional and compassionate. They took the time to understand my situation, guiding me through the recovery process step by step. What impressed me most was their commitment to transparency; there were no upfront fees, which put my mind at ease during a time when I could least afford to take further financial risks. Digital Tech Guard Recovery walked me through the necessary documentation and evidence collection to support my case. They were patient, answering all my questions and providing me with updates throughout the process. Their expertise was evident, and it was comforting to know that I was in capable hands. It felt as if I had a team of advocates on my side, fighting to reclaim what was rightfully mine. Over the next few weeks, I watched as they diligently worked on my case. They kept me informed about their progress and what steps were being taken. I had almost lost hope, but their determination reignited my faith in the possibility of recovery. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I received the news that my funds had been successfully recovered. I couldn't believe it—I was overjoyed. This experience not only restored my finances but also rekindled my belief in support systems. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Digital Tech Guard Recovery.
