The world of language, as SPSkeeper once said, has a mysterious past, thought to have started on the island of babble..hence babblefish the language translator website.
The European based languages, spanish, french, italian, english..even german...all share latin based words. When you start going to the asian side of the world, there is a whole other set of rules based off completely different ideas of language. In essence, it confuses us non asian speaking people, at the same time confusing them. Taking their language (any of them) and trying to match up english words is nearly impossible. They have words for things we can only describe...we have words they have 10 words for...its like replacing the number scale with the alphabet. just doesn't work.
This leads to things like the above picture. for one....the word vibration and touch should not be selling points to a water fan. Less vibration yeah, but touching it? why?!?! "Touch the Perfection." Ok, OUCH! it chopped me!
I could have looked up some far worse translations, but felt this was at worst something my mom would give me the "look" for pointing out. Hints of perversion from a culture far different than ours are always a good thing. It keeps us on our toes.
NOW FOR THE REVIEW OF THE PERVERTED PUMP!!!!
IT is a beast for only being 30 bucks new. It comes with 2 attachments to direct flow and a magnetic holder...so if the pump goes out, i still have a cool magnet for my backup (that cost more than this one lol).
When you plug it in it goes KACHIKKGGGpppfffttdfffff then its quiet..meaning NO CONTROLLER. It has 2 fans! a total of 12000 lph (3170gph) divided between the 2 fans, so it moves quite a bit of water. In my 150 i have this on the "dark side of the tank" and an old koralia fan (around 900gph i think? the sticker wore off...i paid like 20 bucks for it in store credit). My sea whip has not had a drop of algae and the way i use the suction from the large pump makes a good whirly effect on my whisker corals who seem to like that type of movement...I will eventually be making a surge tank for them and other corals that require wave motion.
As for a full blown reef tank...i wouldnt go and get one of these things...they just arent as great as PERFECTION. If you have a frag tank or a rock cooker tank...this thing is great for it as you wont need to control it. FOWLR would be fine, my tangs and clowns love the current and infact since i got the powerhead I have notice an increase in growth from them all, it is cute to watch 2 baby hippo tangs play in a blasting water current...especially when i feed them! haha.
just a cheap perverted alternative if you are desperate for a pump!
