No, I haven't run it yet. I'll post a pic, but it might take a couple of weeks (film not finished). The motor body is unfinished metal, not black. The motor diameter is 40 mm (from specs).

I'll try a run sometime over the next couple of days: I've got a piece of 3/4 tubing lying around right here.


I was also PM'd about this pump, and asked if it's really worth it, compared to an Eheim (1250).

The Eheim will probably cost ~$60, and has a max head of 2 meters (6 feet), while this $30 pump can easily do 3 meters, and still deliver 3 gpm (180 gph) at that height, so it's a real winner. It's a 12 volt pump, so it's going to run off of the PSU, with a max load of 2.2 amps, which shouldn't be a problem at all.
