considering this pump...opinions Please

[bueller]

Het Everyone, I am considering buying the Poseidon PS4 External Pump

Info:
Silently (less than 30db) pumps 240 gallons per hour at 17 foot head pressure to 1225 gallons per hour at 3 foot head pressure through 1 in male NPT threaded (hose barb) fittings. Sealess/leakproof design. Made in Noryl housing & impeller, titanium rotor & separation wall, ceramic bearing ball, carbon graphite bearing cap and EPDM O-ring rated for temperatures to 140F and line pressure to 50PSI. Pump comes complete with 6ft SJWTA water resistant power cord. High performance energy efficient 115V/60Hz unit requires only 140watts and 1.3amps. Features a Dry Run Cutout with thermal switch for safety.

My Question is I will be using this pump on a closed loop on a 125 gal tank with 4 outlets FOWLR. Should this be enough flow for the tank. I am currently using the GEN X 8500 rated at 2300 GPH and the flow is good but the pump is a little loud. You don't need much Flow for FOWLR...RIGHT? Opinion's Please before I take the Plunge on this $$$$$$ Pump.

Thanks in advance for any Opinions

i used this pump it is dead silent, the problem with this pump is that the water being pumped also cools the motor i used it on my 45 gallon cube and it raised my temp by two degrees.

Bueller,

I have one for sale if you want one.

Here's my opinion. I first used the pump when I had my 92 in basement and was running a remote 75 in garage. The pump worked great, I had absolutely no issues. It was able to overcome 15' head with a nice flow.
When I decided to move the tank upstairs into the living room I had to eliminate the remote 75 gallon sump and go with a 20 gallon under the tank. I noticed then that although the pump was totally quiet, it was adding 2-3 degrees to the tank temp.
I guess the bigger volume of water was able dissipate the heat better.

I will pm you, SO it should be enough flow for about 8 ft. head. no corals just live rock and fish.
