I have a 275 gallon tank with a 90 gallon sump. My plumbing is all 1". Not much head pressure. My pump sits in the sump underneath the tank. My question is Im sick of some of these pumps turding out on me. I clean them every 3 months and the last pump only lasted 2 years. Im not going to name it but its an industry leader so I'm thinking about going another route. I have a Bubble King Mini 200 and it has been flawless so thinking about pairing it with the 230.
My first question is: It should work great, not be over kill, not run as hot and therefore last longer in theory if I only need to run it at 3500 gph. With the sale going on it seems like a better option than doing a 150 and needing to keep it working harder at a more max setting.
My second question is: Does it matter where I buy it from i.e., off ebay, premium aquatics, etc. or is it better if I get it directly from you. If I lose my receipt am I screwed for replacement. If on eBay do I just take a screen shot and keep that as proof.
My third question is:Just wondering about the length of warranty on this guy and if it needs to be replaced and is a couple months out of warranty am I S.O.L.
I just want and need a pump that will last the test of time if properly cared for and to know that if something happens that the manufacturer has my back. $1200 is a lot of money but is well spent if the pump lives up to expectation, doesn't lose power as it ages, and doesn't turd out after a couple years.
Also does it come with bib attachments if you decide to connect using soft tubing vs. hard plumbing?
Thanks,
Carlos
