Brad if you are looking for a good solid pump look at the ehiem this is my thoughts the sedra the impeller seems to over drive it's self to match the air it's pulls. Euroreef did a study a while back on what pumps lasted the longest and pulled the decent amount of air. That is when they switched to ehiem which made their sales go up. I think brad from my own experience a ehiem would suit u best just sayin

Mike, that's more than I want to spend, by a lot. :) There's a post for the same skimmer with pump for less than the cost of an ehiem!

I also had the ER with gen-x pump but couldn't get a replacement gen-x. the Sedra was the closest for reasonable cost.
