Dual Power Head/Wave makers 3200 GPH

[cofishguy]

Is anyone using these or have they used them in their tanks? And what's the smallest tank size that you guys would recommend you put one of those in?
Thanks in advance for your replies and help

Exactly what product are we talking about? Any pics of the product?

They are Chinese pumps, sold under a couple different companies. The ones on ebay are 'Sun Sun' and you'll find more State-side being sold as 'CoralVue High Seas Dual powerhead.' They are a sort of you-get-what-you-pay-for. The cord is just 5', and the suction cups on the ones with them, are junk, they always release. Definitely get the magnet version(s). They use a single motor and gearbox to spin both impellers, so they're a little noisy. And they are a little bulky. Maybe not a big deal in a large tank (200+ gal), but they would be quite noticeable in say a 75gal, which is the smallest tank I'd say to use them in.
