Bertram Capital, the owner of BRS, is averse to generating revenue for competitors offering competing products. For instance, Coralvue has become a significant competitor; Hydros is threatening Neptune's dominance on the controller market. From their perspective, selling products that rival their own brands equates to financing their competitors. Consequently, they have decided to discontinue selling most products that directly compete with any brand owned by Bertram Capital.

Coralvue used to carry Maxspect, now they don't since BRS carries it. I wonder what happened there?

I don't own one but after having reeflos leak on the floor at least a dozen times over the years I would absolutely spend the money for an Abyzz over a Reeflo. There really isn't any other reliable options for a return pump/closed loop pump that is pressure-rated and has super high flow. I also would not want the noise of a huge pressure-rated AC pump in a living room.

Now most of us don't have giant return pumps in our living rooms but when I was doing tank installs I installed at least a dozen tanks with a Reeflo Hammer Head in a living area. These were normally 400+ gallon systems where the return pump was also used to run a manifold.

I have a harder time justifying the smaller Abyzz pumps. I am sure they are great but I don't think they would be more reliable than a couple Sicces or an old-school Iwaki and I personally don't mind the noise of smaller AC pumps.
if you still have the need for larger AC pumps, there is absolutely no comparison to the MRC line of pumps. I also was a reeflo user who suffered from constant leaking and binding up and locking up. I switched to Raj's MRC pump line on every system I have. I have never replaced repaired or done anything to all my MRC AC pumps.
They are beyond perfect.
