    I've got the Coralife running as an HOB right now. It's only been running about a week, but so far so good. It didn't take long to break in. Alot of people like the eshopps, i just needed a HOB and was on a bit of a budget. I liked the setup of the coralife. Big collection cup with a drain. The 65 model has an adjustment valve off the pump as well as another for fine tuning. I like it thus far and will continue to use it when I get a sump setup. Don't look past the eshopps though, they are pretty good and decent price if you can fit it in your sump.
