Thx.

I don't think the use of "need" in that sentence is appropriate, but if you must... the Iwaki RD-30 is the pump you want.

For some of us, it's definitely a NEED! :D

Thank you, so it is RD 30

2 more questions, do I need some adapters? I noticed that the output and input is 18mm..?

Also, where can I buy this pump? Says nothing on the linky in Max's thread (or, the store he links to doesn't have it)

I don't have one myself, but from the feedback of others 1/2" tubing will fit np.

Of course you will need a PSU for it. This thing is quite demanding, particularly to start. I have a HP laptop powerbrick that I salvaged just in case I ever decide to go down this route. It can supply 9.5A @19V. You will probably have to go down the Meanwell route though.

The Iwaki distribution in your country, specialized suppliers or Petra's.

Unless you are very lucky, count on two to three weeks lead times.

A RD-30 is going to cost you somewhere between 200 - 300 US$ from a distributor. There is a lot of secrecy when it comes to naming suppliers of the pump. They are sometimes available on ebay.

Petra has stated he will be supplying RD-20 and RD-30 pumps but its taking along time.
