I had negative experiences using them on a calcium reactor

I believe that they are sensitive to calcium build up on the impeller and shaft. PS I have the Aquabee 1000 for my skimmer.

I have the 2000/1, pump on a KZ Revolution Small skimmer. It has restart issues like you wouldn't believe. I agree with Mooddoggy, build up on the impeller greatly reduces it performance. Mine is more quiet than a Sedra 5000 pump on a ER skimmer. Never noticed it greatly heating up or anything like that.

my observations
