In order to "break out of the barrier", you need to make a setup where the secondary losses from the tubing are much lower than the losses in a direct contact scenario. Very difficult. Especially when you have to contend with pump heat.
Sorry, I only posted that part about not everyone not saying it won't work is because I have read a lot of forums already and actually have been following this subject for over a year now, and I see that a lot.

As for pump heat, does it really genereate that much more? I'll be using an Aqua Via 1300. I thought that newer pumps nowadays with an inline setup, and not submerged, generates a substantially less amount of heat. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
