Hey guys,

Cheers,

Matty

thats a pretty decent pump orcy how many growbeds you got or do you have a high turnover of water. I just bought a new pump had a crappy cheapo pump 110watt 4500Lph boutgh a jabeo eco pump 6000lph 60watt

its a laguna maxflow. it runs a waterfall and 3 growbeds... about 3000l of pond water. I'm actually about to change my growbeds over to murrays 500l ones. currently they are big black tubs... I have a thread on here somewhere. i'll try and find it (edit, link in signature)

Love the pond orcy looks great are those bunnings tubs? I have one of murrays beds they are good although I think my next one I setup I will change a few things, the beds have a depression which is an obvious alocation for a syphon although the only way I could get one to stop was either drill a higher whole for air the break or add a air tube break.

hmm. ill see how murrays go. the bunnings tubs dont work the way i wanted, so it cant be any worse. I've always got a cold beer in the fridge if you ever want to see it in person...

If you bought it from aquarium supermarket your warranty isn't worth the paper it is written on. I bought an air pump from them which both diaphragms busted afte 4 weeks. You would expect diaphragms would last more than 4 weeks. They didn't want to know me. And that's from a shopfront purchase. Good luck getting any service from them since you are in Sydney.
