Were you able to get that thread issue figured out? I remember reading somewhere you were having a bit of trouble matching threads and someone else had a bit of leaking. Just wondering if they're non-standard threads...

Yes I did manage to get a std fitting threaded on the the pump after about an hr of tread chasing with a file. I think it is a standard thread but it has no actual start thread on it, if you know what I mean. Got the fitting on with some teflon tape and no leaks

Hi,

I see people throwing decent suggestions such-as the blaster range which is amazing! IF you have the money and like the brand go for it.

In the past I have always us Ehiem but I have recently started to switch over to Danner Mag Drives (Supreme).

I have never had a bad experience with either - I just prefer the price and the feature set is same.

Good luck!
