I ran a Laguna 2900 for almost a year on my tank with no issues. I have 12' of head pressure so the flow wasn't outrageous. Probably in the neighbourhood of 1200-1400 gph. So I wasn't thrilled with the lack of a threaded connection either. WHat I did was cut the barbed adapter down to the largest size possible (1 1/4" I think) and PVC glued it right to a piece of spa flex that I had to warm up a bit to get it on. Worked like a charm You still have that quick connect with that little "O" ring to worry about, but I was running it internal, never had any problems with it at all.
