![]() You seem pretty set on speedwaves. Can you tell me why you chose them?

![]() I was looking at them too, as I have read some people's comments on them. A bit out of budget for me though, for the model of comparable performance to the mag12.

![]() Mag12s put out a lot of heat. Great in the winter but terrible in the summer.
Have had good luck with Sedra9000s (90w/hr) & Rio2500+ (a little less flow but only 55w). Stopped using Mag pumps years ago because of the heat issue.

![]() Speedwave are amazingly quite and I love the variable speed control. I have one running externally and have never had any issue with it leaking at all. they are very reasonably priced as well compared to other pumps of the same size and do not produce as much heat or consume as much power either.

![]() My vote is to get another mag12, throw it in, and you don't have to think about it for another 8 years.

Funny, I have had that pump about 8+ years! Probably woulda lasted longer if I cleaned it once In a while! As reliable as it has been, I would like something that doesn't create so much heat, and uses less electricity. This is for the tank at my parents house ![]()
