I am always looking to save a couple bucks on my pond and this bottom drain was a lot less expensive then the rhino so i went with it. Its a good drain and well made, but I did notice the top ring was a bit flimsy and might break if you over tighten the bolts, so be careful. Otherwise is a good unit for the money.

I like this UV upgrade to the skimmer. Its a heck of a lot easier them plumbing in a regular UV. I got the skimmer w/o the UV thinking I could always add the UV later, which I did. No extra plumbing, just popped it in. If you are thinking about putting in a UV I recommend getting a skimmer with the option to add one. Then you can always add it later without cutting your pipes.

Very good food for the money. its my basic staple and I will feed it year round. During the summer I blend in some premium brands, but this is the stuff I use all the time. Low amount of waste and good growth for 1/2 the price of other types...can't beat that!

I am really very happy with this product. I had some parasite issue and some ulcers right along with them. My koi were a mess and I am sure they would have died if it weren;t for this stuff. Not sure which parasite I had, but the koi were flashing, so we all know what that means! MinnFinn not only got rid of the parasite but went right to work on the bacterial infections too. Three treatment and two weeks later and the koi were doing MUCH better!!! Its really pretty amazing stuff.

I had some fungal issues on two of my koi. I found this stuff online and like how it treated parasites too. It seemed to clear it up pretty fast. within 2 weeks it was all pretty much gone.

I like my easypro pump. Its really very quiet and gives me plenty of air. So far it has worked perfectly and had no problems. What more can you ask from an air pump?

I don;t like these pumps as well as the matala versiflo which I am using now, but these was still a very solid pumps for me and has proven to be pretty reliable. Its now a back up and not in use because the watt usage is not all the great, but over all I am happy with the Atlantic pump.

Nice pump for the money. Much less expensive then other brands and the watts and flow are the same. I did notice after about 6 months it wasn't as quiet as it used to be, but the flow rate stayed the same. Time will tell if this pump can last a long time, but the warranty is pretty long so I am not too worried about it.

I am very happy with this pump. 1/2 the cost of other pumps giving the same flow rate. For smaller ponds that only need 2000 gph, this is a very good choice for the money. Low watts too which is always nice. Its been been running continuously for over 2 years and not one hiccup.

Very nice skimmer pump. I used to have an aquascapes pump in my skimmer but it died a couple years ago and I got this as a replacement. Been very happy with it. Same size motor but better flow it seems and lower amps.

Review:
Great sump pump. Handles really heavy mucky water no problem. I have a settling chamber and I drop this pump in the and it sucks up all the sludge at the bottom and never clogs up. It uses more watts then other pumps, so not great as a 24/7 pond pump. But for a quick drain out of sludge and water, this is the pump to go with.
