Most probably a good decision. Any pump can fail. I have had a Jebao and red dragon for 7 years, no issues at all. For my new tank I decided to go on with another Jebao, it is in the living room but very close to our bedroom. It is so silent that I had to check if it is actually on several times after purchase. There is an Apex connector for Jebao, FishOfHex has several youtube videos about connecting Jebao to Apex.I have a mag already and it’s lasted 9 years lol with no end in sight but since I’m going with the apex now I figured I would get one that is controllable by it. I’m leaning towards a varios or a rd3 now. I have plans in the future to build a fish room and want a decent head pressure so that’s why I haven’t pulled a trigger on the varios. I would love an Abyzz but can’t justify the price when I can get 2 rd3 for the same price. Wife wants it as quite as possible so After research I’m leaning towards the rd3 now.
