Got it last night. Delivery was super fast and got it way ahead of shipping estimate.
First impressions:
1. Controller is huge and not sure if it needs to be this big. Bigger than my Apex display module. Wish the display wouldn't turn off and just dim or atleast have a small led so you can quickly glance and know it's on.
2. Impeller housing is short like the Vortechs but much larger. The cable is quite thin, slightly thinner than even the Jebao wp10.
3. Decent flow that is more suitable for smaller cube tanks. On my 36" long tank I'm barely feeling any flow after a foot from the powerhead at max power. Will definitely need another one on opposite end to get complete flow through the tank.
4. Not silent but not loud enough to be annoying either.
5. Even on my 3/4" thick walls it's holding on fine.
6. Daily timer for 6 different flow settings. Good if you want complete control over flow but natural and reef mode will probably accomplish the same thing.
At the moment I'm a little on the fence. I think the flow rate is way overrated at over 2000g/hr at max power. Was hoping 1 would be enough but doesn't look like it.
