Rona carries magdrive pumps in the pond area.
I dont know how the prices compare to pet shops, because I get staff pricing. They also carry beckett stuff too.

I'm using a little giant FE2000 mag drive pump that I bought from a plumbing wholesaler for 128 bucks. Seems to be working fine. I hope it continues that way.
 90 gal tank, 33 gal undersump, rated 1450 @0'head, 1200 @ 4'6" It is in Little Giant's Pond Pro catalogue. All ABS housing. I've heard ABS is bad because of petroleum content though. don't know for sure.

Abs is only bad when it is melted or burned. I believe.

A lot of it goes back to internet mythology... Most people believe food safe = fish safe... And since ABS isn't certified for use as drinking water plumbing, it's not useable for tank plumbing. It is inert, it is perfectly acceptable to use in your tank. Just like the whole pvc vs cpvc debates that used to go around in years past...

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm new and broke so I get what I can as cheap as possible while trying to not kill everything. Doing okay so far
 As long as it stands up it's a great pump though.
