In a nutshell... it works as designed. Quiet, controllable, high output, low power consumption pump.
No wires in tank. No one notices the tanks ear muffs as I call them all they see is the nice surge as they cycle on and off.
Gorgonian i have is in heaven.
They are as you can see from the ETM page very well designed and really are unobtrusive.
No they won't eat fish or snails... fish wont go near them even rock sitters like flame hawks and gobies.. the natural soft start also gives them AMPLE time to bugger off to a new rock in the tank.
So high output, non directional flow (ie no shear force here folks), silent, low power, built in speed control, works on existing wave makers., no power cord in tank, elegant design.
What more could you want? No I wont comment on price ( I don't nor do any other beta testers know the final price so please dont ask)... as with anything you get what you pay for.

im pretty sure i will be grabbing one when they come out. it sounds fully controlable and you can dial it down to 30%. i also like the fact you can get a battery backup for it that will run the pump for 24 hours. also they are building a wireless controller for them later.
