I just bought a new Return Pump
Well,
My OceanRunner 6500 was getting noisy. I finally took it apart last night to clean, for the first time since setting things up. I put it back in and it was even noisier.
I have been thinking of buying something new and then keeping the old pump as a back up, just in case. I went to Golds and got a Supreme Classic Model 18. Dennis swears by them and uses them in most of his tanks.
All I can say is WOW!!!! This thing is half the size of the OceanRunner and pumps more water than it (1800GPH). Even better is this thing is almost silent and comes with a nice filter sponge that easily connects to the intake. Lastly this thing comes with 3 years warranty that Dennis will take care of.
I recommend this model of pump to anyone. I paid $200 for this unit and must say money well spent. Thanks to Dennis @ Golds. So if you are needing a new pump, take this into consideration.
