I had a 330 on my aquarium, and it worked really well. I kept several hundred various bait fish in it at the time without any problems. That is of course after it was cycled.


Thanks for the info, I'd like to get one soon so the tank will be ready when I need it. Their in a 10 gal. tank now and that's good for awhile.


I am going to get a couple for my 75 gallon tanks. I will have to do a bit of surgery on the tanks as the rim is 1.25" wide. I believe these will just fit over a 1/2" rim. Then, sandblast the inside and paint with a dark, non reflective epoxy. I may have to diffuse the out flow a bit to adjust currents, but that is easy enough to do.

I also have two 125 gallon aluminum tanks that are 10 ft long. I am going to segment these with removable slide gates for breeder tanks. I think I can retrofit one of their sump models or just use the wheel assemblies and rig up the rest.

I could just kick myself right now for getting rid of my 150 gallon and 700 gallon tanks.
