I got cheap when I first started my 70g Reef and sump so I bought one of those from HD (without a float switch and it was blue) but anyway, IT increased the heat in my tank by over 10 degrees, I could do nothing to cool it below 90 degrees. The pump actually didnt wreck my tank, my DIY mentallity did, I decided to use a radiator and closed loop system to try and cool it down, ended up copper posioning everything dead.
Here is the real kicker: Home Depot Pump $90.
Quite One 4000 $120
Dead tank $500.

Nuff Said.
