    I have a quiet one 1200 I bought to build a diy calcium reactor, but wound up not making one afterall. I use it to mix my saltwater. No complaints with my intermittent use.

    I have a Quietone 2200 that's had about 8 months of usage on it (not currently using it), and a Quietone 1200 that's about 4 months old (currently using for my sump/fuge return). Both have never failed to start after a power outage (or me turning them off while feeding the tank). I think they are great pumps.
