jimbozed Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Hi Everyone, Its been a long time since i was active here, but ive still continued in the hobby. Although other interests and life happens. My fishroom is still operating, Although an accident relating to human error means i lost all my fish including my Burundi colony and wild caught moba about 12 months ago. I still have a couple of fish but the tank system still chugs on. My room. http://www.qldaf.com/forums/aquarium-projects-diy-journals-11/fish-room-project-5216/ I was doing a cleanup a few months back and thought id give a cheer for my grundfos circulation pump. I put a power meter just on the fish room back on 01/07/2008, it had only 50 kwh on the dials. Note the dates on the fishroom door I took this pic on 21/08/2015, 27095 kwh Thats over 7 years. Aside from power outages and some tank maintainance, it has Run NON-STOP. It has never missed a beat, never been serviced ,never been looked at in all that time. And still running strong. What great investment that was. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackayman Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Looks good Jimbo. I might invest in one next time , never really been 100% happy with ones I had in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Fast Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I had a second hand one running non stop for about 8 years. No idea how old it was when I got it. Never had a problem. It had three speeds and occasionally I'd change the speed. I sold it in working condition 2 or 3 years ago all working fine. If I went back to having a rack system I would buy one of these every time. Wouldn't even investigate an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFishkeeper Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 I have used the grundfos circulation pumps in the past too and loved them, cheap to run and absolutely bulletproof, go for ever. Pity they don't make a bigger model suitable for bigger systems and 2.5 metre head or I would still be using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
