GEN-X PCX-55?

I am considering purchasing 2 of these pumps to be used as returns with 2 penductors each. Does anyone have any comments or feedback on the pumps?

They will be in the living room, so noise will be be an issue, are they loud? what about heat?

I'd like to know your thoughts or experiences, good or bad.

Thanks for looking.

I run one of these pumps CL they drive 2 Pens. I have mine just under the floor in the basement. Tank is upstairs. I run all my sumps pumps in basement. As for heat they have fans they run cool but not to the touch. Very hot when touching them. Loud not bad at all loudest part would be the fan on them.

They do a great job at driving the 2 pens in my 300g.
