Best bang for the buck. by JASON ANDERSON

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 7/16/2008 from MORENO VALLEY, CA UNITED STATE

Comments: There are only two complaints I had about this model - and neither have anything to do with it's perfomance in terms of output. It's got a lot of different available configurations, and definitely puts out the water at the rating it's stated (my fish in my 180 gallon began swimming against a current, and they're full grown Central American cichlids). The first problem I had was getting the pump properly submerged, this could be a defect in my own pump and not in all of them - but initially the impeller was making A LOT of noise, when I removed the housing and checked everything out I found that the unit had air trapped inside of it and had to rotate it in circles to get it fully submerged in the water. The second issue I have is - with a power head of this size and power - one would assume it's going to be used on a large tank. Yet the power cord is only about 4' in length, if that. Taking into consideration that my use for this pump/powerhead was to move debris along the floor of a 24" tall tank - it left little to no give for plugging it in. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Well Worth The Money! by JAMES WATSON

Comments: I own a 620 and a 2600. Both run very reliably. I have used the 620 as my Kalk mixer and have been impressed by its durability (IMO, this has a lot to do with the impeller design). And depending on how the powerhead is configured, it is not any more bulky than a Tunze. I would rate the powerhead as better than average performance with a budget price. The only negative is that if you have any issues keeping your tank cool is the amount of heat these units generate (particularly the 2600). Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great flow, problem starting by ALVE

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/5/2008 from REDWOOD CITY, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I have 4 of these and all give a great flow. I do have often problems with them not starting up after being powered off. After knocking on them or taking them out of the water and shaking them they start again. Happened already after they were used for about a week to a couple weeks. Have one that doesn't start up at all anymore. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Very good powerhead by JERRY YORK

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/1/2007 from CALLAHAN, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: I'm using two M620's in my 55Gal aquarium. They provide a very good water flow/current for my reef/fish tank. The power heads made a little noise when I first started them up but quickly quieted down. I don't have them on a timer so they stay on all the time. I'm pleased with the product, would recommend this brand to others. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Very Nice!!! by Happy Customer

Posted on 10/3/2007

Comments: Circulates the whole tank - 75 gallon - Grammy loves the "wind tunnel" across the front. Have a 635 GPH split out of the sump and a 135 power head coming back across the top. Tank never been clearer - keeps particulate stirred up for corals/filter feeders and trips through the skimmer/biofilters. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Nice adjustable flow by J. C. Edmonds

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 7/31/2007 from Urbana, IL

Comments: This powerhead has a lot of mounting options and configurations. I think it's well designed, enough that I change its configuration about every 3 or 4 months to find the "best" for my setup. My only gripe is that there's no easy way to clean out the suction strainer, but I guess that's a problem with most powerheads. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Get what you pay for by ERIC-REEFWREAK

Junk and Safety Hazarg by Dont buy

Comments: They are far from reliable. Pumps dont restart after power outage or if they are unplugged. Last night one decided to overheat, seized and spewed smoke throughout my tank and basement. A hazard!!! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

No-Restart by PS

Comments: Very Difficult to start and will not restart. Maybe dependent on mounting orientation. 620 I purchased wouldnt work inverted (with pump above motor). Requires more space than depicted in sales lit. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Great by Greg Forsyth

Comments: I have 2 of these in a 46-gallon on a Red Sea Wavemaster Pro with no problems, I attribute that to the soft start on the Wavemaster Pro. Nice flow over a wider area creates a more natural flow. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
