One thing though... I'm not sure that the Iwaki pumps were originally intended for aquarium use, though I agree that they seem perfectly matched to the job. The company in my area that sells them sells equipment for moving chemicals and stuff like that.
Like you I agree they were not originally intended for aquarium use but I have been using them for years for just that along with lots of folks......and now for water cooling

Piece of advice though......dont get the WMD model.......The W denotes the american made motor and they are not as quiet as the MD models with the japanese motors.......I have owned several of both ranging from the 15's to the 70's in size and find that there is quite a difference in the quality and the quietness between the WMD and the MD models.......
