    very true.. I'm sure I wont have to clean the glass as much now.. I did have 2 small dead spots.. now they are gone. :kiss:

    I didnt have any trouble with these sureflow yet. little loud for the first 30 seconds.. but no extra noise now after a couple hours of running.. well worth the $33.00 dollars I paid for 2 units shipped! ;D

    its funny when I put food in there now for the fishes.. its like a toilet bowl effect with all that fish food flying around the tank.

    If I had to rate these units I would give them a 10...

    (2) maxi-jet 600 (196gph) powerheads = $40.00 total
    (2) sure-flow 1600 kits (1400gph w/ 600 maxi)= $33.00 total
    3000gph+ & watching your fish get tossed around = priceless

    thanks for all the replys!

    Was thinking, I could shut down 1 sureflow powerhead at night time. is this recommend?

    It wouldnt cost me anything.. I have a spare plugin outlet on my "daytime lights" wall timer. I figured I should do this, so the fish could at least try to sleep without getting whirled away! I've read wave machines have this feature, but I'm only shuting 1 pump down though.
