Aloha!
As some might know, I am starting a 55 gallon reef in the next couple of months. I have figured everything out except pumps/powerheads.
Originally I found the Marine Land Maxi-Jets, which people said are noisy and cheaply made, ever since they switched producers to China. Then someone recommended using Cobalt Aquatics pumps.

I read about them, and then I looked some more and found Penguin Powerheads.

And THEN, I looked and found Azoo powerheads, now I have never head of anyone using these, but they are extremely cheap, cheaper than the Maxi-Jets, 7.49$ for a 48 gph pump. But, you get what you pay for. So has anyone ever used Azoo or Penguin pumps? If these won't break or lose power with time than I would seriously consider buying them. ( btw, I don't mind the noise of the equipment, I actually like the sound of water and the humming of motors
But if they are excessively loud, than probably not)

Thanks all! And btw, if you want something really cheap the Maxi-Jet's are on a Black Friday sale for as low as 8$ !
