So last week, I bought an MRC Ocean Force 200. Broke the impeller shaft, can't find parts, would have to buy a new pump.
I'm wondering if I should upgrade the pump to something else. The current pump specs are below. It's 50w @ 430gph, but I'm thinking I can probably get a better pump, and maybe should go more gph, less wattage (less heat)?
Let me know your thoughts and recommendations.
Thanks
