Marineland 5500 pump

Anyone running one of these pumps externally?
Curious to know how it's performing when run externally. I bought one new and never set it up, may use for new build

I have my Marineland 5500 pump in the sump, I love it, but I did not know that you can run them externally

Yea. It says either way, maybe ill run internally rather than buy new pump. You have any heat issues running internally?

Run it external, just drill whatever sump you get. Rather heat the tank if you need to.
