They are good pumps but I find they produce more heat and are noisier than the Eheim. On the flip side they are considerably cheaper though.

Had a quiet one and couldn't get rid of it fast enough as it was nothing but trouble and loud. Picked up an ehiem and could not be happier

So I see lots of suggestions on pumps but what flow should his pump be putting out for his tank. How many gph should it be rated for? I would like to know this as well, how do you determine what gph have to be moved in the tank?

I've been running Ocean Runners for years . Model numbers OR3500 and OR6500.
I've had a couple wear out, but that's after about 5 years of continual use. I'm pretty happy with that. Not interested in looking at other brands. It also depends what's available locally to you. If your LFS will give you good service and warranty, that should be a consideration. Mitch
