I like it, for the 30 minutes that I've had it, but OMFG! The instructions. I'm pretty good at interpreting Chinese instructions, but these were translated into "English" by one Chinese guy, translated back into Mandarin by a second Chinese guy and then translated back into "English" by a third guy. Good luck!!!!! Lol.I can't say for longevity just yet as I just started using this wavemaker but I can say it is awesome right now. I have a 29g reef that I have had for 5 yrs or so and I have used 2 pumps or up to 4 at one point to make the perfect flow in a mixed reef. This one pump replaced all of them. It is super strong for my size tank so I have it as low as it will go on the random setting so it causes some chaotic flow but controlled at the same time. I have noticed it's a little loud as it ramps up but mine is in a bedroom tank and it's normally quiet but if the TV or anything else is on its not so loud to hear it over anything else but if all is quiet you will hear a sort of ramp up hum then back down. I had some other jebao units that made this sound for the first 2 months of their life also and eventually went away so I'm hoping this one does too.The controller is easy to use and has enough options to get what you need but not so many as to confuse the crap out of you so perfect. I will definitely purchase more for the bigger tank later in the future.These products are good for removing algae and controlling nutrients.The faster it runs the louder it getsGreat device if it works. when I first put the pump in my marine aquarium and plugged it in the lights indicated impeller stops running code.. . not sure what the shaft and rotor and the bearing are made of, but the drive bearing on one side seems to be installed just a tiny bit not perpendicular to the centerline of the pump, (like the bushing may have not been installed completely flat in the end cap on one side). resulting in the rotor shaft not being centered in their bushing, and potentially rubbing. I disassembled it completely and verified manually moving the shaft and put it back into the tank. It seizes intermittently and trips an error code....If it goes 7 days without a problem I probably wont send it back, but tight tolerances like this require more QC.It was very loud at first. Then it got quieter. Has cool features.Easy to install and control, came with everything needed to run it. Perfect for my 50 gallon cube. I got the bigger size (the scp-150) for my 90 gallon and it’s a little powerful. I’m keeping that one turned down and it works fine but this size (Scp-90) probably would have worked great for my 90 gallon as well.
