I just found a nice rio 2500 pump in a box of inherited equipment, and while looking it up am seeing some horror stories about rio pumps(or at least certain models?), from electrocuting everything in the water, to burning out/melting/cooking the tank. Does anyone know about this? Does anyone know where it would say UL listed on the pump, if it is? Sadly I realize that I had also bought one(haven't used it yet) awhile back because it was what was pictured with the Berlin X2 skimmer I have (not used yet), that after a long time of searching and emailing, even the Red Sea company, couldn't find a single word anywhere about what kind/how strong a pump to use with the skimmer, and eventually figured out what pump was included in the "pump included" box. Now I'm really worried about using them, brand new or old.

We decided the very large RBTA in the display tanks needed to move, since it had killed all the corals over a large piece of real estate and seemed destined to continue annexing new territory. So we put in in my cube, and after several hours it started wandering, which was expected. What was not expected was that it would find a way to get caught in the intake of the HOB refugium pump. I was monitoring its travels, and in the ~15 minutes between observations it went from fine to shriveled, and the tank looks as though someone poured a pint of milk into it. I performed about a 30% water change and added a large flow-through carbon module to the 'fuge. That's been about an hour and a half, and there doesn't seem to be much progress clearing the tank. Any thoughts?

I just unboxed and hooked up my new BRS GFO/Carbon Reactor with a Maxijet 1200, which is what they recommend, but personally I still feel that it is too loud, I run a Jebao DC 9000 and 6000 for my skimmer and return and I cant hear a thing, but ever since I hooked this thing up earlier it has been bugging me. does anyone have any recommendations for a nice silent(ish) pump I could use, not sure if I have room for another Jebao pump in my sump otherwise I would just buy another one of those. Thanks

So I recently purchased a Jebao DC 6000 for my return pump on my 90 gal. First I would like to say that I love the adjustable flow feature, it has 6 speeds ranging from 400GPH -1500GPH, and the feed mode is a nice touch also even though I never use it, but most of all the auto shut off when there is no water detected is awesome. I made a dumb decision this morning to do a WC before heading to work, yeah I know never tinker with your tank if your not going to be around for a while to make sure everything is good to go lol. for whatever reason my skimmer went in overdrive and started pulling water out of my tank filling my 5 gal water jug I use for skimmate and dumping about 1+gal of saltwater on my dining room floor, luckily when the return resevoir ran dry and the pump shut off and didnt burn out, which saved my ass as I do not have a backup return pump. if only they can make a pump that can clean the mess up before your wife finds out, I was not so lucky when I got home at lunch and tried to conceal the incident and was caught red handed with my wifes mop cleaning nasty skimmer water.
