Looks a bit cheap, but it reminds me of the Marineland C360. the marineland is a good filter.

Meoldchina, if you need something to agitate the water, you can look into getting a bubble stone. They work wonderfully.

I put my 1140 power head in and I was very very disappointed

It was louder than my XP-3 and it wouldn't stay upright blowing sand everywhere

What a waste

i suppose power head are more for people with bare bottom to semi-bare bottom tank as it will really stir up the sand like what chrisinva is facing? it work really well for my semi-bare bottom set up but i do have 3 filter running in my tank to keep the tank really clean. a small power filter, a power head and a canister filter. Gmil and Emil are 1.5 inches in size and they can handle the flow well without difficulties. i suppose turtle can handle a high flow rate of water in tank?

I guess it works as it's supposed to....I was most shocked at how loud it was....I will save it for a different setup or sell it
