RIO pumps any good?

[coop21]

Anyone have any experience with these? Thinking of putting one (or more) on my 80gal. Thought I'd ask before I spent the $$$$. Thanks!!!!

I wouldnt run a RIO has your primary pump. I have a 3100 I use for water changes. You are better off getting a Mag Drive pump. They usually only cost $5 to $10 more and will work in or out of your sump. Buy these from a mailorder shop (you will save a ton)
good luck
