Based on the very helpful feed back, its's going to be a Mak 5 or Sequence. I am waiting for specs on the Sequence line from Flavio at Oakville Reef Gallery before I decide. He's also had some bad experiences with the Ampmaster and won't touch em. It's too bad the Ampmaster has this problem because the flow is phenominal! As Troy revealed, it's also good to know that the power consumption is double what the MFR claims it to be. ThereforeI wouldn't be any further ahead buying a pump that has the potentail to leak at some point in time and comsumes the same amount on power as a MAK 5. The trade off for losing 1200GPH for reliability is probably wise.
