Hey, I have had one running in a 20 high tank I have been setting up to 'seed' my fuge when I get the big tank up for almost a month now, I is still going strong. Granted, there is no coraline growing on the tank yet as I haven't got the lighting i want at the moment.
I would say, I bought mine because I was curious, but I think a better brand power head and a SCWD would be a much better choice.
"Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind." ~ Jack Handey
