Anyone ever used this pump - Oase

[Nate]

Oase pumps are great quality. Used them in many ponds. Don't know about marine tanks. I've used them twice and only gotten 2-3 years out of them with fairly routine maintenance.

That being said, where are you not finding the compact series from eheim? I'm the distributor rep/aquatics purchaser for eheim with calgary as my sales area.
Most stores have them, everyone of them have access to them.

Personally I use the eheim 1262 wherever I can. The things are old workhorses. Go forever. SILent as a mouse...

Compact are great too but you can't beat 1262 reliability.

Hope that helps.
