Looking for a pump comparable to an Iwaki 70RLT suggestions?

As the title says I'm looking for a pump comparable to an Iwaki 70RLT to drive 2 eductors suggestions?

Why not use the Iwaki's? Not trying to be sarcastic here, but they are incredibly reliable.

 

[skatezen]

I could, but I'm looking at best bang for the buck, power consumption - operating costs, and noise level.

Was it blueline that was taken over by pan world?

You could either look at the Blueline or Pan World equivilent to the Iwaki

 

[skatezen]

Yeah those are the one I've been looking at the Blueline 70 and the Pan World 150 I think.

I had an iwaki 55 that used 210 watts.....switched over to a blueline with the same flow curve and only consumes 90 watts. They are also just as reliable and close to the same price.

I am using the blueline 40hdx for my closed loop. The bluelne and the panworld seem to cost considerably less than the Japanese version of the Iwaki that you are looking at.

I've decided (I think) on the Sequence SW series - either
http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_pumps_mdm_sequence_750_1000_series.asp?CartId=

the 3200 213w - ~2100gph at 12' $309

OR

4300 series 253w ~2700gph at 12' $329

to replace my Iwaki 70

Panworld comparison I'd need the 250ps to get 1900gph MAX - $250
290w -1650gph at 12'
Less flow, more amps
