Replacing my RIO 2100... give me suggestions

[Dewman]

I was just advising Warlock that my Kent Nautulus is also run by a RIO 2100, but SmokinReefer, and others, have advised me to get rid of it for various reasons...

I am a cheapskate, trapped in a rich mans hobby...

So I am finally going to make the change. I could do hours of my own research and carefully pick the perfect pump.
But it's always easier to just ask someone else :lol:

75 gallon, medium bio-load, about a year old...

Let the suggestions roll....

ROTFL So true

I would look towards a mag7 to replace it, or possibly a sen pump

 

[Desolas]

I agree, the Mag 7 is good if you can find one in stock, or the Dolphin DP80 is also good but huge.

 

[smokin reefer]

Mag 7 has my vote. Simple, with a small footprint. Glad to here you make the move. You will not regreat it.

 

[Dewman]

Wow... see, that was pretty painless for me...

Mag 7 it is... I will put in the order to Champion Lighting in a week.


Thanks to all who contributed :wink:

I replaced my Rio 2100 with a Mag 7.
I picked it up from Marine Depot for $55

I have heard the Mags, and they are pretty loud.

Has anyone ever used a CAP 1800 ?

I looked at those online, but no information was given about them.

My Mag was loud. I now use it to mix salt. I used a QuiteOne to replace my rio (back in the day)

I wouldn't use a Quiteone. Mine failed in less that a year! I running a mag 9.5 and it is loud. I thinking of getting a dolphin 2100, but that's to run my return, not my skimmer.

Yes I too have heard of a lot of QuiteOne's failing...Mine has been great though. Been runing for about a year.

I replaced my 2 Rio 2100s with a Sen 700 and a Sen 900.

FWIW,

HUh, mabe I am going deaf. I have two mag pumps (12 & 7) and they seem to be loud to me. Mabe that is all I am used to. But they don't seem any louder than the capp pump I used to have. As long as it is not a rio you will be alright. 8)
