get the 1050 By Ryan on 10/12/11
Ryan wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
I have a 750 and a 1050, the 750 is louder on startup (makes a clunk noise) and sometimes starts in reverse. my 1050 is dead silent and never starts backwards. do yourself a favor, if you tank can handle it get the 1050gph

great for my purpose By austin on 10/7/11
austin would recommend this product to a friend
got this, will prolly order another one. i wanted a smaller powerhead to i can get different levels of flow in my 180. this one along with the magnum 7 seem to be enough, however, 1400 gph isnt as much as I thought it would be, but for a smaller level of flow in difficult areas, its size allows me to achieve these results

Was great for a while By Luke on 10/4/11

I have bought many of the Evolution pumps by Hydor and they all did great for a while, but after a few months of owning them(I do clean them regularly) the 1400 and one of the 750's will sometimes not start up or start up in reverse. This is not good if you want to run them on a controller because it wont be on or not provide the right flow. If you just have them running all the time they are fine. I am changing to all VorTech pumps for now on...

Very happy with this product By Dan on 9/29/11

I got two of these for my 90 gal reef and couldn't be happier. For the money, they can't be beat. The ones I received are quiet, have great flow and look good in the tank. I would definitely buy these again.

Great product, increases flow substantially. By Chris on 5/10/11
Chris would recommend this product to a friend
I bought two of these for my 75 gallon reef tank, and was amazed at how much fow they created! I attached them to my wavemaker, and they were a bit noisy, but the noise hasn't increased, and I can still sleep, since it's in my bedroom. I love the wide spread of the flow, and the cool look of the product. I was a little surprised at the size of them, but hadn't seen them in person, so, didn't know what to expect. Without the wavemaker, they are, almost, totally silent, but since they are touted as wavemaker freindly I was a little dissapointed, in that aspect of it. Overall, great product! I would recommend this to any reefer.

Great By Aron on 4/27/11

I like this power head and had no problems since I purchased it which was about 4 months ago. The magnet is very strong and even if it's removed the suction cup manages to hold the powerhead in place. No vibrations through the glass and a very long power cord included so you can connect it to a power source that's not immediately near your tank.
My only concern is that when unplugged then plugged back in, the flow can reverse itself resulting in air actually sucked into the power head from the front. This can be easily corrected by reversing the plug and is not a problem if you don't frequently unplug the power head.

For the money, you can't beat them. Hydor has great customer service, too.

I purchased 2 of these and have been extremely pleased with their operation. The flow has been perfect for my setup and I'd certainly recommend this product to others.

Good sized By Shane on 1/8/11

I have a couple Hydor pums - this one and a couple of the smaller ones. This one really puts out the muscle - there's a lot of flow. At this flow level there's several good pumps to pick from but this one is right there w/the others. It comes with a good solid magnet to position it on the glass. It is a very straightforward setup.

Great! By Jamie on 12/31/10

The evolutions are head and tails above the old Koralia's. Added 2 750's to 2 existing Koralia 4's in my 90. The flow is much broader, no vibration running or on start up with my timers. Awesome pumps! I will be replacing the existing Koralia 4's with new 1400's a.s.a.p
