The club will be expanding soon... The specs on the Laguna 1500 based pump are all settled and ready to go. The body will have about a 13.8" base, and a 6" neck. 1500lph of air (needlewheel), 25.6" high.

This will be a 'final' design if you will... designed for 60hz. So no microbubble or sump waterline concerns. Its good to go.

Next will be the XL, maybe an XXL even (a 3000-4000lph Laguna 2400 based pump). Demand will dictate the possibility of that model with Anton/ATB. If there was demand at all, I know that the Laguna 4200 would make for a nice 6000-8000lph pump as well... a body for that would have to be close to 4' tall, 24" base diameter, and a 12"+ diameter neck. Super-commercial grade you could call it... made with 1/2" thick acrylic most likely. Anyone have a 3000+ gallon tank that needs a skimmer? The cool thing is that it would only be about 120 watts.
