I'm looking for users experience with the ReefFlo pumps. Specifically, I'm looking into the HammerHead/Barracude Gold. My only concern here is the leaking of the seals, which I've read enough to know it is a problem. But how often does this happen, and how much does it cost to replace the seals.
The Iwaki pumps would be my other option, and those definitely seem to be the better pump; but the extra power draw would cost $1,000+ of dollars more over a 4-5 year span then the ReefFlo.
I'm leaning towards the ReefFlo for the fact it has a little higher GPH output and much less wattage. But looking for others with experience to try and talk me out of it. .
Note: I'll be setting up a 225 Gallon Tank with a 100 Gallon Basement Sump, needing to push the water up from the basement.
