Eshopps vs, Marine Depot

[TroyClark]

Does anyone know if Eshopps makes and rebrands the HOB Overflows for Marine Depot? I am looking at the Pf-1200 from Eshopps vs. the Marine Depot OF-1200. I have looked at the photos and they look identical in every way. But the Marine Depot is cheaper. Setting up a spare 125 I have and making a sump for it out of a spare 55 gallon tank.

??? But I would take the cheaper of the 2 looking @ the pictures.

Can anyone also tell me why the PF-1000 can't flow as much water as the PF-1200? Both use dual 1.25 U tubes. I run the herbie style full syphon. My guess is that they are the same when using full syphon. The only difference I would imagine is the smaller internal box and the number of weir openings, but if both u tubes are running full......that would mean they are flowing the exact same amount of water. I am confused. If they are the same and the PF-1000 is cheaper then thats the way to go.

Thanks

I just ordered the MarineDepot version. When it comes in I will do a side by side comparison with the Eshopps version.

Got the MarineDepot version in and while not identical it looks like its very good quality also. It came with a clear lid for the overflow. I would like another lid for my eshopps one but MarineDepot doesn't sell just the lid. Does any one know where I can order one?

Hi! I bought an of-800 for a 90 gallon; is this good enough? It said it’s recommended for up to 120 gallons, I just wanna make sure
