Hi guys

I'm looking for a return pump for my 4 footer and stumble across a high-end pump that delivers 4500l/h with a huge price tag of $1000 :shock::shock::shock:

Can I get some feedback from RD owners and potential RD owners?

Why you guys think this pump is worth the $1000 and why it should costs more than 3 times an Eheim? or an Aquabee :)

Thanks in advance :thanks:

you mean you didnt hear of red dragon before? they are the pump used for bubble king

well, look at 10m3, deliver 12k litre per hour at only 98watts. its known to be totally silent and release super little heat. all of the pump if i am not wrong is all handmade. the impreller is made of titatium(wrong sp?)

I heard before but didn't expect a 4500l/h to be so expensive... kinda shock by it actually :lol:

:blink:  :blink:  :blink: the last quote i got last month for $1000 was for the 8000 Litres....so you sure the 4500 going at that price range???? who you got it from?

I agree with Bro tineng, it's way too expensive liao! I rather top up abit to get the 8000 liters or even higher capacity! ;)

I think you are right bro Zorden... if I have all those cash waiting to be spent... then a different story lah... probably go back to my favourite brand... Aquabee :D

Can I ask what spare parts are needed? I saw somewhere this pump has a label printed '100% Wear Free'. Is this true?

I also read something like that... I guess when the pump doesn't work... then it needs spare part lor... perhaps the electrical parts ;)
