I just purchased 8 of the #4's. They seem to work pretty well.

My two model 1's work very well!

ya know, i looked but i went to pages past 2
anyway, thanks for all the replies, these pumps do seem to work good, now for my next question,
i'm in the planning stages of starting a 210 gal, so this question is directed to the owners of these pumps,
how ell do you think they'd work in a 210.........
like i said, in the planning stages of a 210 gal, doing alot of reading , taking alot of notes on which pieces of equipment i will be needing and this is just one of those questions
if they do work well for a 210 gal, how many do you think i'd need?

Steve:
I would just go for a closed loop on a 210, your going to need alot of pumps in that size aquarium and going with one of the sequence pumps will be your best bet imo. otherwise you will pumps all over your tank.
fwiw
