Interestingly enough CoralVue is not sure about the water output from HY-5000 BB pump.
Below is their reply to one of the customer service questions about bb HY-5000 pump:

Dimensions: 220 x 170 x 150mm
I am not sure what the water draw of this pump is at the moment. If I had to guess it is around 600gph

However it is good to know that screws are upgraded (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=80830&highlight=bubble+blaster&page=3) (scroll down 1/2 page) but wonder how high is "high grade stainless steel" is.

Does anybody on here know first hand :
1- what are the exact dimensions of the Bubble Bluster HY-5000, is the above measurement correct?
2- what is the water output per hour in gph (not air)
