oceanrunner pump

are oceanrunner pumps any good? I need a return pump for my 90g

I used the OR 2500 on my former skimmer (AM T 1000). Nice pump all in all, but I would have some concerns about using it as a return. First, I'm not sure how it would handle the head pressure. Second, and more importantly, I had a problem with them restarting. The first one was a little more than a year old. Took it apart. Soaked it in vinegar, scrubbed it, soaked it again, . . . Put it back into operation and the same thing happened. So, I figured it was just time to replace the pump. My new one lasted only 2-3 months before I had the same problem. If I unplugged it for any reason and then plugged it back in to restart it, I would have to partially take it apart and push on the propeller (while it was still plugged in) to get it going again. I haven't really heard much about others having the same problem (unlike the Quiet Ones, for example), but that was my experience.

I have 2 OR 3500 pumps on my skimmer (TF 5000). Never had any problems.
