Just waiting on the glass drill I ordered to install the 2" bulkhead, even with the exchange it was less than $275.00 which IMO is pretty good for a pump of this quality.

haven't heard one but fr the RC thread they seem loud. A Darts flow with the noise of a Barracuda, might not be the best choice directly below a display. Then there's quality control problems (impellers rattling loose).

Finally got around to hooking this pump up (helps that the glass drill finally arrived) So far I am thrilled with it, I don't know how others that complained of noise hooked there pump up but I can barely hear mine, easily twice as quiet as the Little Giant 2md I use for my mixing tank and only barely louder than the Poseiden ps4 I am using for a return. I have it running my Precision Marine Bullet skimmer and I have never seen so much foam in it, me likey

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!
