Anyone ever hear of this powerhead?

Its an Odyssea EX350. It says it has a Flow rate: 350 gph, max flow height: 4 ft. Just want to make sure it's not some off brand that will fry my tank.

 

Here's a link to it. EX350

Looks like an imtimation of maxi-jet series. Should perform just the same, has a few basic parts that MJ uses.

I think it was the lights on Aquatraders that caused all the fires.

 

If this is just a renamed JBJ powerhead (and I think it is), I have one. It came with my chiller, but now I use it to pump fresh SW in during water changes. No complaints. As far as the tank-frying risk, it's safer than a Rio IMO. Roughly comparable to a MJ 1200. Slightly more flow if you are using it for circulation, significantly less if you are using it to pump against head pressure.

true on the lights but not a jbj renamed its a chinese manufactured, formerly named jebo
