what bugs me is the fact that these pumps are made in china and tunze is made in europe. the price from china should ba alot cheaper not just $50 cheaper. because of the difference in the dollar vs the euro we have to pay alot more for products from europe. but the pumps from china should cost alot less because the chineese dollar is alot less than the american dollar. right now the conversion is 1 usd is =to 67 cents euro. but in china 1 usd is =to 7.26 china yuan. so basiclly what im saying here is the difference in exchange rates should make the china pump alot cheaper to buy than the pump from europe. but its not. so that makes me think the chineese company is just trying to rip off aquarium industry. its not worth the $50 savings to try out these pumps and see if there worth it. for the extra $50 i would get the tunzes and know i have a reliable pump that will last a long time.
