I have been singing the praises of the newer Rio HF pumps since I got mine, make sure its the HF line though because they are different from the older ones. I bought a Rio 20HF last spring and the only time it died was after I dumped a bunch of crushed doral on it by mistake. I simply cleaned it out and it has worked great ever since. They are quiet and reliable in my opinion. The 20HF is rated at 1250 gph at 1 foot, at 40 inches (for my tank) I still get about 1000 gph. What sold me on them is the price compared to equivilantly rated pumps.
