It's a reeflo blowhole pump. It's a sweet pump just added one to my 180. Your going to like it Keith.

Zef do you have issues with heat you know with it being a water cooled pump

Nice. Pump. Looking at them for the new build. They had a heat issue but they state it has been addressed. Not sure if I want the 2700 to run the display and manifold or get 2 1100.

Yes I've read that many users have to touch it in order to tell its running.

It said not to down size the feed inlet I'm going to use 1 1/2 pipe to feed it and 1 1/2 at the outlet and T it to 1'' to go to the overflows
 
Im guessing that may starve it for water. The pump looks nice, may have to get me one. Warranty is decent too.

Keith with any water pump you never want to reduce the intake side. On the output side its fine to reduce it. Thats just going to increase your head pressure. Any time you add fittings they also add head. You will ne fine
