WTB a return pump

[dannieboiz]

I'm setting up a 60 gallon tank and need something for my return pump. Something like a Rio 2500 or 3100. Not looking to spend a fortune prefer local in the SF Bay but will pay shipping for the right pump @ the right price.

Be careful of the Rio's they are hard to get reprimed if they shut off or you shut them off.I have had a Mag Drive by Supreme running for years with no problem except having to replace the impellor last year.

I've got a couple of extra Eheim Mag Drives if your interested.

those eheims only pumps @ 300 ish gph that won't be enough.

 

[midiamin]

Go to Eheim.com and look up the specs. I think they are rated at 7000 gph. Maybe I read it wrong.

 

[dannieboiz]

that's a mis print. It threw me off @ first too but if you look @ their rating, it doubles everytime when you step up a step. So so @ the 1250 it's 317GPH

I have a Rio 3100 pump that I am not using. I bought it in a package deal with a sump and overflow for my SW aquarium. As my tank is only 29g, the 3100 is too big for my needs.

I was told it was 1 year old when I bought it and it works fine (tested it in my pond). I believe it comes with all the original accessories (suction cups, outflow valve, adaptors, etc).

I am in Nashville, so it would have to be shipped. It looks like they go for $60 new online. I'd take $25 for it since I don't need it plus whatever it costs to ship (guessing $5-7 via USPS).

The pump has all the accessories and everything but the adjustable out flow with venturi has never been used.

$25 shipped.
