pump question

[gotfish]

I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me what the gph of this pump at 4ft would be? http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/Plumb...6/p482/Ocean-Runner-OR-2500/product_info.html I'm guessing it would be around 380 or so. I can't find anything in doing a search though. I was trying to decide between this and a mag 7. The ocean runner is about $20 cheaper though.

Also, anyone have an idea what the quality of the ocean runner is?

usually on a submersible pump they drop about 25-30% of flow at 4' but 90's and "T"s also come into the equasion!

Could I use a flexible hose instead of hard pipe up to the overflow box or would that not be advisable?

Many of use use flex tube : )

I don't know why I said back to the overflow box. I meant back to the tank, but anyway. Anyone have any idea if this pump is decent. The flow doesn't seem to be enough of a difference between this and a mag 7, but if it's a crappy pump I'll go with the mag 7.

Oh, yea, i'd take the OR pump over the heatbox any day of the week. OR's are more efficient and alot quieter.
