I came across a Rio 1400 for my NC 24 has anyone ever tried this pump ?Do they run very hot?

WIll that fit in the rear chamber? I am not too fond of Rios mainly because I have heard many stories of them going bad. It says that it runs on 27 watts.... that will undoubtedly have some impact on the temp, probably not too bad though. Personally, I would look into the MJ1200. It doesnt have quite the same flow (295gph), but it is much more reliable, a little cooler at 20 watts, and a little smaller too.

Thanks for the reply Jesse.I have heard stories myself but thought what the heck It does fit in the chamber very well actually and the flow is great I have a 1200 on there right now with the hydroflo so it was cut down a bit.Well today i put in the Rio and so far my temp has only come up .4 in 5 hours so it looks like it may stay hopefully i dont have a lemon
