Haven't used them but they look pretty good, especially with magnet mounts.

it is not truly 3000gph I would rate it closer to 15000gph but it is awesome for the money. and the magnet are STRONG. dont let them snap on you finger(instant blood blister) lol

I use one and it over powers my MP20, I would say they are close to 3000gph. A very wide flow as well.

then maybe you got a better one lol. my tunze 6100(3000gph) is ALOT more powerful than mine but for the price I could buy 3+ for what I paid for my tunze.

they look almost like the ones on ebay, but marketed under octopus. i dont know if they would be any better than the ebay ones, i would sure hope so. they are just 2 koralia 4 knockoffs setting next to each other, so they should move close to 3000gph total, but it is not going to be like one pump moving 3000gph.

Well, having had both a Koralia and one of these next to each other, I'm not sure I'd call them "knockoffs". I think more than likely they are made in the exact same factory and just rebadged.....which happens all the time with various products. I mean the things looked identical. Although the Coralvue looked a little smaller. But that was about it. Oh, and the Koralias have some sort of rubber "boot" around the magnet. The Coralvue did not.
