The pump is well built. I bought the 6000 for a 120g. The return goes through 4 90 degree turns and still pumps a ton of water. I actually turned the ball valve down a little to slow it down. It initially ran loud, but has since broken in and is no noisier than any other pump I've used. Took about a week to break in.
I used a Mag pump prior that rusted so this has been a welcome addition and gives me piece of mind they haven't had rust issues in the past.

I purchased two of these 3000's to mount on the outside of my sump and keep the heat out of the water. I drilled the holes and have 3/4" lines from the outlet to each bulkhead, I put them on a thick rubber pad to dampen any vibration and also the intake is 1" I did not reduce that at all for fear of more noise from starving the motor and all is working perfect, no to very little noise and great flow in my 72 gallon bowfront. Also the price is great!

This pump runs hot. After changing it out for an EHeim 1262, the tank temperature dropped 2° F (ambient temp in the room 75°). I also have a Quiet one 6000 in a 20 gallon pre-mix tank in my garage. If I run that tank continually the temperature rises to over 90° F (ambient temp in the garage 75°).
They are not quiet either. I didn't realize how noisy they are until I got an EHeim.

Quiet, dependable and creates very little heat compared to my old circulation pump. This is a very high quality pump at a reasonable price.

I have used the Mags, rio, maxijet, aqeuon and eheim. For the price, performance and"electricity saved",I have switched my system completely to this line! The 4k is the older hh for my return from the sump, the 2200 is for AquaC EV120, and the 1200 running reactors and UV. I find the power amazing, and the 2200 blows the mag 5I had away! The energy consumed is minimal and I need heat to keep the tank at 78. Their performance continues to amaze! Excellent line!

I decided to buy this because I was looking for a more energy efficient pump. The reviews/info said it's quiet and has slightly more flow than my Mag Drive 9.5 but uses 15 less watts. Sounded tempting. This was not the case. It has much less flow than my Mag pump and is actually more noisy. It's touchy with noise too. For some reason I have to have it sitting tilted in my sump for it to run most quietly.
Basically, this pump ended up being a noticeable downgrade when I was hoping for an upgrade. I heard they don't last long either. I'm sticking with my Mag pump and keeping this as a backup.

I bought this product as my main sump circulation pump for a 200 gallon system. After reading the reviews and considering the title "Quiet One" I chose this pump with the expection it would be quiet. When I powered it up fully primed and suspended underwater (no contact with anything but water and the outlet hose) the pump screamed like a baby. Once the screaming stopped it settled into a very annoying hum I could hear in the other room (even with the sump enclosed in a soundproofed cabinet). It moved the water but it seemed labored. The screaming repeated after a power cycle. I dried it off, put it back in its box and returned it. Perhaps mine was defective. Other people seem to love the product but at the very least is not consistent quality and I won't gamble the life of my reef aquarium on an inconsistent product.
