I have 3 on my tank. I upgraded all 3 to the "wireless" (they "talk" to each other wireless, its not a wireless remote that you hold in your hand). The wireless you can run from high to low, tidal pool, wave, sync and anti-sync. The upgrade price for the old ones is $100.
They are best on the side wall of the tank. Thats where I had them, but did not like the look so I got the third and placed all three on the back wall. You cannot use these on 1" tanks or a Oceanic Tech tanks.
They have a $10 bearing that needs to be replaced depending on use. If they are set at high (that 3000 GPH), its yearly. If you run them all the time at low, then never.
There is comming out in a few months an upgraded wet side magnet (to be rust and pit free, I have not seen anything exposed to salt water that is rust & pit free, but we will see what the "special coating" is). Another upgrade expense, maybe.
As for the one you are looking at on e-bay thats $397 total, a good price if truely brand new. They are $420 at Marine Depot. Its even a better deal, as it has a wet side foam cover. Those are sold in three packs for $15.
