Pump Recommendation

[KaizenBirdie]

Hello. I'm looking to install a controllable pump on the overflow wall of my 55 gallon tank, so looking for one where the dry-side, outer magnet is waterproof. Looks like Tunze offers waterproof magnets, but curious what other options you're using for similar applications. Thanks for your help!

I've used a food vacuum sealer to seal magnets so I could place a power head on the back wall of am AIO

PS . If you find a tunze unit you like and the magnet is waterproof I would do that route. Their powerhead run for many years, have a good warranty and support is great. I have a couple of tunze powerheads 10 years old that still work fine. I wish I could say the same for my vortechs. If an internal magnetic isn't cracking the bearing are failing on a dry side.
