I have never personally owned either of the pumps in question, but when I was researching before setting up a 300 gal prop system, 3 100 gal tanks one above another. (Never did get to set this up =( too expensive for right now) I read great reviews on the hammerhead FWIW.

I've read similar reviews , but its nice to get opinions . They both use quite a bit less power than cheaper models so its worth it to me in the long run . I keep coming across 220v pumps on eBay but haven't heard of them .... this would be a great savings if I could find the right one

I use a Hammerhead Gold for my return and I'm very happy with it. Its quiet, powerful and very efficient. I had the regular hammerhead and swapped it for the gold to save a bit of power. What really surprised me was that the gold runs even cooler than the regular hammerhead.

See if Chris at Reeflo can get you a BlackFin 6000. I have one, its a great pump.

i got a hammerhead on my cl and it is the best pump i have ever owned in my 20+ years of fish keeping.

im torn between the hammerhead and the blackfin . i read two reviews of the blackfin leaking within 2 weeks ! i found a hammerhead for 250 $ so i almost cant go any other way for the price . for power consumption you cant beat the amp master ... so you see my delema
