To be honest, that pump looks like more of a novelty to me. If u look at the impeller it is incredibly poorly designed. It pretty much ignores hydrodynamics.

But after reading a review of them they dont seem so bad. If you put two of them in seiries they should do fine. But with one of them it will be pahtehticly underpowered. It just doesnt have the head pressure to be able to compete even with a simple eheim 1048. Wit hthe X2 setup, they give a tad bit more ump than the eheim 1048... If you want to run ur system through more than a small rad and one waterblock then u need to get the x2 and not the single pump. it just inst powerful enough to obtain the flow rates that would even be start to come close to optimal...

To be honest, these pumps are more of a novelty for someone who needs to have something very small and needs it to look pretty. But that is my opnion. No fact in that last statement if you want to be picky about wording
