I just tried to take the spacer off and to tell you thetruth it is louder...perhaps there is something wrong with it.

So this piece of crap...I took it out to put the spacer back in. It has literally welded together and will not come apart period. I am taking it back tommorow. I have been prying to get the sucker apart for the last hour.... This must have been a dud.

After about 10 minutes with some grips and some help from Dennis at golds it broke free. He gave me a replacement which I put on the tank. It is not nearly as loud so the other must have been a dud. I would not call them the quietest powerhead around but works a lot better than the last one

Golds is always good for honoring anything they sell. That is not meant to be a plug, that is just reality.

Albert: Where they nanostreams? It seems the tunze quality moniker has went down a little since the nanostreams were released. I hope this isnt going to apply to there whole line of products right away.
