water pump?

[adrian's fish]

Hey guys, i'm interested in buying a water pump to help me with my water changes. i have a 125 gallon discus tank and i have to pump the water from a 60 gallon barrel. Any suggestions on the brand and the size of the pump ? thanks for your help.

I use a rio 1700... I got it off of amazon and it has been a great pump for me, I believe they sell many sizes to fit your needs, I use it to pump about 40 gallons from a drum to my 55 gallon, does the job... They also replace it for me once when I had a weird issue and it seized... No questions asked so to me that says a lot as well...

Yup, I had a Rio 1400 for a long time and it worked great. It isn't the fastest for sure, but if you want more flow you will get in to the $60-$100 range easily.

I have a Rio 2500 that is plugged into one of those remote controlled outlets... I just move the hose to the tank that needs to be filled and hit the button on the remote and watch it fill a 40 Breeder in about 2 minutes, then I just hit the off button. There is nothing I hate more than waiting for a container to fill so I say go as fast as you can afford.
