They suck IMO. I have one in my fish tank(rio 800) and after about a week it quit on me. Go with a Maxi-jet 1200 or Via aqua pump if your on a budget, but if you got alittle cash go for a Eheim or a Danner Mag drive. I use a Maxi-jet 1200 and so far it rocks I have had it runnning 24/7 for about 3 weeks and no sign of slowin down.

Oh yea my Rio runs hotter submerged than my Maxi-jet does inline.

rios do suck, I have a sal****er aquarium and they are constantly dying on me. I switched to a mag drive and have not had a problem since. The maxi jets are a good low budget choice as stated above.

I had a rio 800 for a while. It seemed to work fine while I had it, but all the horror stories of them dying made me bite the bullet and buy an ehiem.....

i have the rio2100 in my setup and its really quiet. its been running for about 2 weeks now. i got it cuz its 25w, 692gph and it was cheap at a local petstore. but let me remind u that the rios were made to run submerged (thats what the guy at the store told me), i had to seal the the inlet were i put my barb so nothing well leak. maxijets can run inline, i had my 1200 running inline for 3months w/ no problems. great lil pump!
