    Eheim is definitely more expensive. They will last for a long time. there is a review on Foster and Smith Aquatics from someone who has has the same Ehiem pump running for 11 years.

    I have not had it for long, so I can't really comment on how long it will last, but I think it is pretty loud. Kind of annoying actually. It definitely put out lots of flow though. Sells for $80, new.

    Ive been a fan of Eheim for some reason. Never owned one but I keep hearing positive feedbacks. It doesnt get heated as much as Mags I hear as well.

    Sure Ive looked at eBay before when I was in search of bulkheads. No one really had what I exactly needed.
    Yup, keep us posted!

    Living life dangerously, I see. haha I just used masking tape on the top ends so the glass doesn't move.

    I posted on your BeanAnimal thread, btw.
