the king of pumps

sup3rcarrx8 · Feb 19, 2004

Has anyone ever had any experiences with Resun King pumps? They seem to be pretty powerful for their price.

EDIT: Are there such things as generic Mag pumps (i'm talking about the danner mags) and is there a difference between the danner mags and other companies that use the same magnetic system to pump water?

they look like genx pumps..
kinda cheap (rios are cheaper) but i don't like their flow:head:watt ratios. besides that, genx pumps suck (if that happens to be one) i had one in my old fish tank that died after a long noisy life, lol
but thats only my opinion..

Good thign i didn't buy it then lol. I'll just invest my money in a Danner Mag 3 or Eheim 1048 or something then. Any suggestions on sites where i can get those for fairly cheap? Thanks.

Via aquas are pretty cheap. I got a 1350 gph 14' head pump for like $60 on eBay, and after doing the super glue mod, its pretty much silent when it's suspended in the middle of a 10 gallon fish tank.

The Danners are already relatively generic. Get much cheaper and you'll be better of with an undocumented worker running a paddle wheel by foot.

Instead of an Ehiem 1048 I would go with a Hydor L30.. more head cheaper price and my one is almost totally silent...

Considering how out of shape i get sitting at my box a WC mod using a paddle boat to move the water might be a good moding idea !

The marine depot was $47 with shipping, which in Canadian Peso's was like $75. At the local fish store the Mag3 was $155, gotta luv the mail order

you guys just do not understand how much more powerful the via power aquas are than the Hydors and eheims.

L30 specs

Max Flowrate 320GPH (1200l/h)
-Delivery Head 75" (195cm) or 6 feet

the via has more than twice the head AND more than twice the flow rate. (if your wondering if it delivers, try looking at sqeakygeek's radiator. )

More like 4x the max flow
