"Would recommend!"

Packaged well and it appears to be a well designed pump. I ordered this pump for some minor jobs unrelated to the basement. Keep that in mind when running through a similar setup. Couldnt be happier with this thing. The video shows the pump at full throttle and can be adjusted lower. Highly recommend to clean the bottom of your tank if you don't have a bottom drain. It's powerful but quiet which I love.

"I am so happy."

Put it back in the aquarium and has been quiet ever since. The trick to making it last is to keep debris and algae out of it. Love the ability to control the flow.

I will be ordering another one to have on-hand in case this one fails next season. I just got finished setting this bad boy up and I have to say I'm highly impressed.
