Not Happy by RAYMOND ZIBITS

Comments: This does not work well with the Red Sea Max tank. There was no way to know this before I bought it. Also, the motor is below standard, Even witht he tube well greesed, it has a hard time getting started. The gears skip a lot. Once its going it seem to be ok but the griding I hear before it gets going can't be good for it. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This is junk I have had to buy 4 of these during 2007 and there plum trash. This pump comes with their nitrate reactors and calcium reactors. I run them 24 hours a day we lube the tube weekly, change out the more than every three months but when the plastic wears out and the lift tube starts moving the unit is done. The parts will move but the lift water won't. I have a 4unit doser and a two and three singles and at one week or another I repairing one of them and they ain't cheap. Write if you know a better product to you on my nitrate reactors and calcium reactors. kimrci@charter.net I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Great

Solid Product by LUIS P.

Experience Level: Beginner

Comments: The auto top-off works as expected, silently. I fill a container with enough filtered water to top-off for a week (1.5 gallon for my 37G tank). I also add 1-week amount of trace elements to the top-off water. Observations: - The product has solid construction (German, if I'm not wrong). - It comes with abundant tubing and it is very easy to setup; - It comes with a spare membrane; - You will need to have the pump screwed into the wall of your stand; - It saves me the daily work of top-off and dosing of trace elements; - I would buy it again; - It is perfectly designed for sumps. Warnings for aquarium installations: - The water-level sensor, when used inside the tank, forced the water level to be visible below the border of the tank (I'm using a All-Glass tank). Not a big deal, but to elevate the sensor I had to glue (silicon) it on top of the support, instead of just connecting the sensor to the support as designed by the manufacturer. - If the water-level sensor is used inside the tank and a snail touches it, it may unnecessarily trigger the pump and provoke an overflow. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
