I did not have any problems with my tank when they burned
out.

When
these pumps burned up, did any of them cause a problem or poison anything in
your tank?
All
My
skimmer came with a Rio rejuvenation venturi pump installed & all this bad
press is making me nervous! Does anyone know of a replacement venturi
pump?
TIA

I have used rio's before because they were pretty
inexpensive. This was before I was on this list. In all I have
used 4 rio 2500, 2 rio rio 2100, and 4 rio 180, All but 1 ended up
leaking into the motor and ended up burning out. In that same time
frame I have had a mag 350 that has run perfectly for me for about 6 years
now. Stay away from the rio. I really like the mag pumps
for a submersible pump. I use 2 mag 7's for my main tank and the mag
350 pumps into my refugium.
