Iwaki pumps

[Europhyllia]

I always thought Iwaki was supposed to be one of the best?

Here's an interesting thing: I was shopping for a used pump and inquired about an Iwaki pump. Then the seller send some pictures and some things didn't look quite exactly like the pictures of the Iwakis I had seen (white plastic cap instead of black, shortened model name/number, etc.)
When I searched for the model I found out that a Chinese company named Resun makes pumps that look a lot like Iwakis but are a whole lot cheaper.

I also read to use rubber washers or a piece of yoga mat, etc. rather than mount the pump on wood where vibrations are much less cushioned/louder.
