Ah- found my thread on R2R:
So, I went ahead and ordered one. The main body is 7" deep and 9" wide (roughly- this is including the brackets, so it's the amount of sump floor space you'll need). The inlet pipe comes off one side and comes out around 3.5". The motor is about 4", but higher up so it will clear shorter items like baffles or shorter reactors. It's not going to clear a skimmer. I had to reverse both sides- took about 5 minutes, and was easy enough. I read the manual after.. that's two minutes of my life I'll never get back.
The design is pretty simple and clear though, so that's not an issue at all. Outside of the manual, it looks pretty good. Disclaimer- I haven't hooked it up yet. But if you never hear from me again in this thread- it's probably working well. (Or it's a safely hazard and I was electrocuted)
Edit: I forgot to mention, it's possible to put the inlet and motor on the same side. Not sure if that was mentioned, I didn't recall seeing it though.
