Okay, best I have found so far. Here are the key features that I think make it so great

  • Passes up to 1.25" solids
    3000 GPH @ 5' for 150 Watts
    Max Head 18' @ 600 GPH
    2 Year Warranty

I have searched far and wide, and this seems to be one of the best pumps for a backyard to small commercial aquaponic setup. I hope to build my "large" aquaponic system to run off 1 powerful pump, and I hope I can pull it off. However, I think my system might end up being far too big for this little pump... so maybe, maybe I will use several of them in tandem, which will eliminate a single point of failure in my system and take advantage of the Watt efficiency in this model.

What do you guys think?
