I agree completly. I have a BF2500 running on one of our systems. It delivers water to 4 x 55G tanks, and 2 x 20G tanks, from the sump. 2 of the 55s are at a maximum height of 7ft, and they each one, on a 1" ballvalve is open about 1/3, still leaving TONS more flow if i need it.
As for the noise. It's vurtually silent. i can hear the odd gurgle from the Durso's more than the pump.
I am quite impressed with these pumps. I have 1 more to use, and it will be feeding our new coral display once set up.
And finally for the heat.
After about 5 hours, any one of the snappers or darts i have used, gets hot to the touch, and i mean burn fingers hot.
The blackfin, not even slightly warm.
I love these pumps, so far!

I have it running my Precision Marine Bullet skimmer and I have never seen so much foam in it, me likey  |
