[FONT=&quot]Model:[/FONT]
Nanostream 6025

[FONT=&quot]Link to product description [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Price range:[/FONT]
$69.27 USD (Tunze site listing)

[FONT=&quot]Pros:[/FONT]
Very small. One of the smallest sized, high-volume pumps on the market. It also comes with a very strong, high quality magnetic mount, as well as near universal positioning capabilities (due to the ball and C-clip design). It also consumes only 6w of energy and pushes 660 gph / 2500 lph.

[FONT=&quot]Cons:[/FONT]
Some older models have a brittle C-clip that is prone to cracking after a short period of time. This is, however, replaced with the new stronger version, free of charge. Outer grills must be kept clean to maintain output. The propeller can have a tendency to not start upon plugging it in. Shaft must be kept free of limescale deposits, or it aggravates the above problem.

[FONT=&quot]Star rating (1-5 with 5 being the best):[/FONT]
***** (5)

[FONT=&quot]How long have you used the product?:[/FONT]
For approximately two (2) years

[FONT=&quot]Build quality and value for your money?:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Yes, and then some, mainly due to the quality magnetic mount included as well as the condition below.The build quality is excellent and Tunze stands behind it 100%.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Other comments:[/FONT]
This model can be quickly and easily modded without voiding the pump warranty from Tunze. While the stock pump's flow rate is 660 gph / 2500 lph, this mod can increase that by more than double, making it one of the best values in terms of flow, build quality, magnet mounts, positioning options, and very low energy consumption (which translates into much less heat, as well). I wouldn't go with anything else for small to medium sized tanks.
