Are you looking for a powerhead, or a bigger type?

Ive never heard of them, but most are pretty similar, epoxy coil, ceramic/titanium shaft magnet and a plastic impeller.
Im partial to Maxi-Jet myself;)

Hey,

What size of tank do you have?

That will give us a better understanding and we can help you much better that way.

Also, do you already have any other powerheads in the tank?

If your referring to these: http://www.ffexpress.com/drygoods/powerheads.htm

They look allot like the Sen pumps. Sens are one of the better submersible pumps, (much more better than the RIO's!) but they do have a problem with the impeller rusting and swelling.

We'll be more than happy to help you with your pump decision, but we will need more specific info on how you plan on using it.

I have a 30 gallon tall tank, and I would like to use this pump as a return.... I've used MAG 7s on a FW tank, and after the noise and having it die on me a few times, I shy away from those now

in a 30 gal tank, MaxiJet 1200s will do a fine job.

Go with them, they are they proven powerheads and most everyones favorite.
