    Just got the UPS shipment from Premium Aquatics.. Here's a couple shots..I will wait until tomorrow to put it all together.....no really ! LOL : )
    I was a little surprised that the "physical" size of the 1400 and the 1050 is the same.:confused: But it will all work out just fine...video tomorrow some time of the final result..

    Just like Christmas !

    The 550, 750, 1050 and 1400 are all the same physical size, they share the same parts just different props.

    I have been running two of the 1400's on my Reefkeeper Lite switching every 30 seconds for just under two years now. Thats 2,000,000 yes two million starts and stops in that time and other than having the covers replaced once under the two year warranty they have been flawless.

    You'll like those as will your fish and corals! A little noisy on a wavemaker but, otherwise nice pumps!
