Karens recommendation of http://www.webbsonline.com/catalog/pumps/index.html I found
very useful, they are the least expensive place for good pumps so far.
I also am leaning toward an OASE because Jo Ann and Steve (the GF guru and husband)
have been using the same 5 or 6 OASE for 15 years. and yes, they are very efficient!

OASE Aquarius series
2.5 years old, running continuously
480 gph @ 0' head
25 watts!!! (the only thing more efficient is the Laguna)

I'm increasing the size of my waterfall so will be buying a larger pump. I
am still deciding between another OASE or the Laguna. The OASE definitely
has the reputation and price is competitive (read: just a tad more
expensive) with the Laguna.
