You didn't understand what I was posting. Yes, the Eheim is a good pump. What we were talking about is the fact that they are selling a pump that used to cost $130 for $300 because they add a needle wheel.

Yup, in fact I just bought a Eheim 1260 for $119..So a needle wheel cost more then the pump itself! That is flat-out nuts.

It's all relative my friend... I'm sure most of your friends/loved ones think it's nuts to spend the ridiculous amounts of money/time on such a silly thing as reeftanks. Hehe

It's all relative my friend. If you want the performance, you'll pay for it and then it isn't so ridiculous. Certainly there is no real competition to lower that price, so competition must arrive that delivers the same performance at a lower price point and things will change. Hopefully...

Peace,
John H.
