Personally, i have heard nothing buy good about them...That is just my opinion of course...I know some people have had experiences though..am sure if, further along the line, you do have a problem, you can swap the Rio for an Eheim or Ocean Runner

I would swap the pump. When (not if) the rio goes bad the oil in the motor houseing will reek havok on your tank. VERY NASTY STUFF!!! Might last 6 months might last 6 years but it will go bad and it will leak oil in your tank.
