I agree. Over $100 for a pump is obscene. I picked mine up for $80 at an aquarium store. The way I figure is that you'll pay a little more but you'll get an extremely good pump that is tested for years of continuous service. I think what sold me, though, besides the obscenely high flow rate, was just how rugged it is. You'd be hard pressed to damage this pump. Plus, it is sealed EXTREMELY well ... it is not going to leak unless you shoot it with an elephant gun.
