    I have 2 of them BH1000f in my case

    you will not be dissapointed IMHO

    you will experience Micro bubbles for a few weeks when you 1st ste it up
    you may or may not get skimmate for the 1st few days
    (Mine took 3 days to produce, others have produced on day 1)

    the bubble issue can be minimised by
    directing the return flow sideways in the opposite direction of the intake box (not at it, otherwise you will keep skimming some of the same water)
    this keeps the return out of the main flow of the tank, where the bubbles become worse as they are scattered around the system by the other powerheads at work in there

    I was eyeing the BH1000 but I got a really good deal on a used Remora instead.
    Steller reviews about that thing, should work terrific!
