Hopefully they can chime in and share their experiences. This is the cheaper one.
The pump that people are using is the new FX STP.
I have had one running one since 19-Jul-18.
So far, very happy with it.
Some more info to read.

Specs say it is a diaphragm pump.
The other one is a roller type.
Only time will tell.

Specs say diaphragm, while the picture shows a peristaltic type pump.
The description in the link he posted is incorrect.

F01A-STP Peristaltic Pump

Read over the specs, no where does it say continuous duty.
Vinny,
I never said it was continuous duty. All I said was that it was a Peristaltic Pump,
not a Diaphragm Pump.

Not disputing your observation Peter, I thought the same when I looked @ the picture.
That's really why I went & read the spec sheet.

No problem.
Once I read the spec sheet I saw that it only runs at intervals.
To the OP... The pump you posted is not a continuous duty pump.
Would it work, yes, how long, not sure. I was using a Neptune DOS to feed my CaRx, it works, but with the on/off cycle it was a major PITA to get the CaRx adjusted just right.
Do yourself a favor, spend the extra money, get the FX-STP. It's build for continuous use, it's built better (plastic head vs aluminum), more rollers.
I'm sure you will like it.
