Billy, Eheims have pretty good pumps...
Problem is that they are a bit pricey.

Auburn aquariums have some of the most competitive prices on Eheim pumps on special atm.

What is the biggest Eheim pump that we can buy ??

Will the quality of Ocean runner pump close to Eheim ??

[Billy]

i just went to St George Aquarium, the price for a Ocean Runner OR6500 is $395. The biggest Ehiem pump is only around 3200l/h.

Anybody knows where to buy a OR or Ehiem for a cheaper price ??

How about pondmaster are they quiet ??

Id pick ocean runner over pondmaster, then again id choose iwaki and ehiem over both of them any day...

Personal choice..

i bought a Ocean Runner OR6500 today!! (not $395 much cheaper )

It is so quiet , only makes tiny humming noise, I wouldnt expect a 6500ltr/h pump would be this quiet !!

i know a Eheim 3000ltr/h is super quiet (you can say no noise at all).

Too bad Eheim doesnt have pump >5000ltr/h size!!
