 660 powerheadJan 08, 2008
By JR Dot
I purchased this to replaced an approx. 6 yr. old Penguin 660.
I was so pleased with the old powerhead I wanted to replace with same.
I was glad to see the model 660 was still available. The reliability and flexability would be hard to beat, especially at the price. They withstand being cloged, power outage, and being run "dry" during partial water chages. Definately a solid performer. Having tended over 60 aquiriums (salt and fresh)in the past at a local pet store and the personal use at home gives me a good idea of what works and what doesn't. This thing runs like a champ! Functional, flexable, tough and inexpensive.

 Noisy impeller. Gave it 3 months and tossed it.Nov 13, 2010
By Shawn M Cordy
A pet store recommended and ordered the 660 for my 29 gallon tank. It was way too much power with no way to adjust the output. My fish were getting blown around the tank. Even worse was the vibration. Even tried rocks on top of the cover to stop the rattling. I pulled it apart to check out the impeller and it appeared fine. Put it back together and it is still noisy. The air valve either spurts bubbles off and on when adjusted full down, or puts out a ton of bubbles when increased. To be fair the other brand's air valves do that also so I end up not using the air tube. I replaced it with an Aquaclear 20. It is so quiet I can't even tell the 20 is running without looking at the surface ripples. Also the Aquaclear output is adjustable. The fish can now catch up to the food and don't feel like they are in a rushing river.

 Don't buy this pumpAug 22, 2011
By Duke
I've had four of these over the years, and they all did the same thing, noisy, impellers don't last (and they cost half the price of a pump to replace), and they get some kind of weird "vapor lock", if an air bubble gets in it, it stops pumping and just sits there buzzing and rattling. getting it going again is a real pain, requiring taking your pump off the lift tube and rotating it to try to get the bubble out; lots of splashing and hands-in work.
Honestly, the cheaper pumps from discount stores work better and last longer.
