I haven't been in the hobby 6 years so I've never had any single pump for that long.

I've had several come and go with various systems over the years. I've never had any problem with the pumps. I actually quite like them. I have a T3 sitting around at the moment that I can't decide what to do with.

The only thing I don't like with the pumps (aside from the heat transfer) is the allen key that you need to take off the bolts to clean the impellar. I really with they used a more common screw head like a philips tip. Other than that, I'm quite satisfied with the pump.

Mind you, I've only ever run the Custom Sea Life brand. I'm not sure what they are like now since switching companies.
