The price looks good but I dont know about reliabilities of those pumps. If your fishtank pump lasted long then I guess you can safely assume that these pumps will last long as well

Rio's are oldschool

. They used to come in the earlier kits that were out, leufken, aquastealth/becooling, etc... I remember people used to have them die on them often. My submerged via in my old leufken kit died after about 2 months. I believe some people still use them with satisfying results though.
