Well might have to invest in one of the new Reeflo models over the Wavelines. Might be a good idea anyways because I've heard of some leaking issues with these being hooked up externally.

I have one hooked up externally to my 165 gal tank now for about 6 month and never had a leak. I really like these pumps as they are super silent and reasonably priced.

Are you running a Waveline on your closed loop on the 165?

It was the noise issue for me. I would love a big Reeflo pump, but then theres noise, and my tank is in a regularily used room. Thats why I was considering the Wavelines for my closed loop.

I also heard that they started shipping the pumps with a new o-ring that prevented leaking, but some still complained about salt creep and such.

So many choices and opinions out there!! haha.
