any of the deluxe models uses the RD 2000 and the RD 2500 200,300 ,400 Deluxe Int and EXt
I was referring to the super marine 300 which is an internal. I assumed that's the model you were referring to as that's what Doug was using last time I checked. The deluxe models are different but these days a little outdated to be purchased new for that kind of money.

I don't want to say too much on the deltecs but personally don't have the same feelings for them as you. The 702 breaks two of the rules I already mentioned as well as uses an outdated design. My hands on experience with the deltecs is the build quality lacks, supporting large pumps on the thin extruded plastic shell is a failure waiting to happen. I repaired a few units back in my aquarium biz days. Not sure if much has changed since then.
