Do you find the pump a little loud?

not really, if you don't use the supplied air filter its noisy but once you put that on the incoming air line it got nice and quiet. i have mine in my living room and the other half doesn't complain. ( and she's just looking to pick apart my purchases!!lol)

What size is yours? im looking at the 150. I think it should do the job on my 120gal. Also if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for yours?

i've got the 150 as well on my 92 and it seems to perform pretty good. I got mine for just under $200.

Just took my psk 75 off my tank yesterday. fianally grew tired of the headaches after a year of use. started spewing water out the top. just not worth the headaches. IMO

I was looking at these just cuz... However too many complaints and it seems cheap. I guess you get what you pay for.

I personally have a euroreef also and a Hyder 1000. I would fix the crack and keep using the Euro. If you can fix it, why replace it? Again I don't know how bad it is cracked, but you can always get a thin sheet of acrylic from home depot cut it to fit over the crack and glue it overtop of the cracked area, for a tight seal.

Edit:
On another note, impellers have a habit of swelling. EuroReef impellers are over $100 bucks once you get it across the border. I bought a Sedra 5000 bought it just didn't have the throughput that my GX4100 (which came with the EuroReef RS180) had. I wondered, Hum..... is the Sedra impeller the same? Well I took it apart and compared to the original pump impeller, it was almost exactly the same. Only difference is the magnet was a bit shorter, that is it!!!! I put it in my original pump, and the EuroReef is working as if it was new and whisper quite.

So what I am saying is that other EuroReef owners with same type of pump, buy a Sedra 5000 needlewheel for $40 instead of ordering from EuroReef direct for over $100 shipped.
