Alright, one Aquavia 1300 is $20. One Eheim 1048 is $60.
Eheim quality is lengendary. Aquavia is iffy.

But iffff the Eheim craps out on me in the middle of the night I'm screwed, so should I just buy two Aquavia's, save $20, and run them side by side at the same time in a closed system, just in case one of them dies and the other can act as a backup?

Stupid question --> Would doing so double the GPH?

Finally, in a closed system, Aquavia's don't leak like Mags, do they?

Thanks. First time at water cooling and have spent last three days straight reading about it.

Thinking about purchasing Black Edge waterblock, d-tek cooler core combo, BECooling mini chipjacket, 4ft Tygon tubing, and can't decide on pump... (cooling Athlon 1.3)
