Anyone use this product? Comments or suggestions?

Looks pretty neat, want to get one and put it in the back wall right in the middle...

Junk. I had 1 years ago. It just clogs up and stops rotating. I took it apart to clean it and it was all just tiny plastic gears that easily strip. It is good tho for mixing new sw.

I agree. I've used them in the past and they don't rotate for very long. It's a good idea if they could perfect it. I still do use mine in my water mixing bucket also but I don't trust them in the tanks.

Ok thanks for the advice.

I did notice it in CCCapts tank and then later on it was replaced with korilas

Actually I haven't used that (Powersweep) on any of my tanks in about 4-5 years. I don't think there is a pic posted here with that in use. If your talking about the 125, I had 2 AC70 ph's which I replaced with 2 Koralia 4's and a Rio600 I replaced with a Koralia 1. The 125 now has 2 K4's, 2 K3's and 1 K1.

Just want to comment with the same thing. They are crap, don't waste your money.
