Comments: Great pump for the price. Love the fact that it can turn my reef tank over 5 time per hour at 4 feet lift and only draw 60watts. The only compliant is the low humming noise. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Great flow and relatively quiet. In sevice now about 6 months and much better than previous submerged powerhead for the energy costs. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Bought this 60W to replace a 54W that did about 75% of this one's flow. Yes any pump sumberged that pumps this much will add heat to you tank (in my 50 heaters occasionaly operate in mild winter - Nor Cal). I do have a chiller for summertime. Slightly noisy at first but quieted down and now I hardly know it operates. Sump intake water sounds are noiser now. Strong suction cups helps to dampen vibrations. I have mine going through the chiller and up nearly 6 feet before back down into the tank ~12" deep. I estmate with the chiller, elbows, etc to be about 8-9 feet of head loss and it still puts out decent flow.
