SpeedWave here but not happy with that pump. It has failed twice on me already. First time, power supply got toasted, second time, the F..ing pump would not start whatsoever, I guess the motor or something inside got toasted or something. I have a Mag Drive 1200 on my reef and that pump is solid.

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.
