Our eight year old Little Giant just died. Would like to replace with something with more GPH, no time to research. Can you help?

Thanks Mark, we have to get something by tomorrow as the tank is without flow.

I've been using one of these on a 220, it seems pretty good. I know they are available in town.

What size is your plumbing? I like my Sequence pumps i have a snapper and a dart. I also have a Red Dragon pump that is very very very good, Overkill for me but I paid for it so

. Is the return going through like an OM or something?

Need 1" in and out. OM? I don't think I can find a Sequence quickly enough.

When I was researching pumps a while ago Golds kept sequence pumps in stock. I know Elite carries a lot of equiptment too maybe give Colby a call (253-8123). I have an old little giant pump that came with my tank you can take for free, I have no idea if it works though, at the least you could use it for parts. PM me if you want it.

OM - Ocean Motion - If you don't know don't worry

Yes Golds has sequence pumps I believe they have snappers and darts (they did when i looked) western pump has little giants in stock if that is what you want as well as most plumbing you'd need at cheaper than ANY of the LFS's

Wai's has iwaki's in but even with shipping from j&l, J&l is still cheaper..wai's is around the 330-350 price for an iwaki. The Snapper has a 2 inch intake and a 1.5 inch discharge though. (plumbing that is less than fun)

Thought the Sequence, Snapper and Darts types were more of a hi volume, low head pump, more suited for CLs than returns?
