CO2 Reactor Pump by STEVE GHERA

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 5/11/2008 from FISHERS, IN UNITED STATES

Comments: I’ve use the Model 2 for my DYI CO2 reactor (up flow mode). Up flow with this pump’s flow rate tends to generate a fluidized bed which causes very tiny particulates of CaCO3 to be recirculated. The particulates grind between the ceramic shaft and impeller’s bored hole; leaving the hole enlarged and oblong. This has led to excessive noise eventually a seized pump. The fix was redesigning the reactor to be down flow – and buying a replacement impeller. Now, there are now particulates, no noise and impeller lasts a whole lot longer. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Best for submersed use by ANDREW NICOLA

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 10/8/2007 from IOWA CITY, IA UNITED STATES

Comments: Mag Drive makes awesome aquarium pumps, however, the intake housing on the 2-9 series is a lighter plastic than the mag 12-36. Consequently when threading piping into this intake for external use (such as calcium reactors) it is prone to cracking, it's also a little loud for inline use. Submersed, these things are great! I use them for my chiller & UV sterlizer! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Value Pump by YUNG JUNG

Comments: The pump is fairly inexpensive, efficient...but one thing that gets me is how loud it is. If it's going into a tank that's in your room, be prepared for a humming all night. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

GREAT!! by TIM LUU

Comments: Over 3+ Years of use and still running strong. As long as you properly clean it, it will last forever! I've had tons of stuff jammed in this thing (due to my lack of cleaning) and it still runs strong. Chaeto, rocks, sand, snails get jammed and it still kicks but. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: It works. Only thing is it does give out after a year or so. I've gotten three of them in as many years. I would get another because its small enough for my sump, and it has good flow. I don't know, maybe it's me , that's why I bought another one. This is a company that actually backs their prices too. I will continue to buy here because they seem to have good customer service whenever I call. That reminds me I need a uv light. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Metal Screw retainers!! by WILLIAM VALLE

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 6/25/2007 from EL MONTE, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I bought two pumps for my two top-off systems and I was very disappointed to find out that the pump comes with four metal screws to retain the magnetic propeller. It does not seem to be a big problem if you are moving water on a dead fountain, but we all know how sensitive our fish and reef animals are to foreign elements including iron and metals. I would definitively not recommend this pump or any like it to anyone. Very disappointed indeed!! I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Mag 2 pump... by Mike G

Comments: This pump is great, it's a work horse and I have it powering up my Deltec Skimmer for one year with no complaints. Only issue is that it does generate heat at 24 watts, think twice before sumbmerging Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
