Pump is Pumping By GraysonReef on 6/14/13

I am running a 65g with 20g sump. 9.5 mag pump with 3/4 piping. I just started this hobby 3 weeks ago and took the plunge into building a reef tank. (total rookie)

This pump is working like a champ. I used a couple of 45 instead of 90 elbows and my drains can barley keep up :)

For a 1st timer, this pump is perfect and a no brainier to hook up.

It does have some minor vibrations, but I have not done anything to dampen the sound.

Could be my install, could be the pump design.

Best pump By Ronald on 3/24/13

Really love the out put of this pump. i think its puts out more than whats on the box. Its a little loud due to vibrations if have it off level, but easly fixed with some rubber feet or pad. Great deal for the money. Great customer service from BRS and shipping. I like the when i place an order they get it out that day all, with email confirmations.

So far this pump is everything advertised. In my opinion the pump is not loud at all. Honestly I can't hear it over my skimmer or overflows. It just does what its supposed to do with no problems. Really like this pump for its cost

very quiet and compact. i cant even hear it run in my sump. MAG pumps are great large output with a few feet of head pressure at pox cost.

I bough Mag 9.5 from Bigals.com about 6 months ago . The pump suppose to have 1 year on impeller and three years on the body. The Impeller ceramic shaft broken. I contact the Manufacture SIX TIME and I don't hear a thing from them.

Great pump for its price. The pump is strong and i have had one running for almost six years now without a problem.

Good but noisy By GreenDragon on 2/16/12

Pump is strong and does a good job. I performed some tests and found that it pumps a bit more than the specs. The biggest problem was that it was noisy- constant grinding sound. Other have also reported this issue. Returned the pump and bought an EHEIM 1250 instead. The Eheim was super quiet. No grinding!

NOT HAPPY By TUBBY on 2/3/12

STRONG PUMP, BUT A BIT NOISY. I HAVE A CONSTANT GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE PUMP, OPENED IT UP - CHECKED THE IMPELLER , LOOKS GOOD. PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHER AND STILL MAKING THE GRINDING NOISE.

Mag-Drive.....Good pump but, would be nice to have some kind of mounting bracket By Bob on 1/11/12

Bob would recommend this product to a friend

The pump works great...its just difficult for me to find a way to mount it where it doesn't make some noise. Rubber or suction cup feet would fill the bill. Even in the sump it makes more noise than I think it should. Looking for a rubber mat to act as a buffer now

Relatively quiet given its power. I'm using as a return pump and I'm pleased.

Excellent Return Pump By Sam on 11/17/11

This is easily one of the best return pumps on the market. A lot of people like the Eheim pumps which admittedly are great products as well, but a bit more expensive.

I use this as the return pump on my 90gal mixed reef and it has plenty of flow for my return and for running my BRS dual reactor as well.

I keep it on top of a piece of plexiglass in the bottom of the sump to minimize any vibration. You can also silicone some rubber washers to it for the same effect.

Overall the pump is very quiet, energy efficient, and provides more than enough flow for my needs.

I have it hooked up to my 75 gallon with a 30 gallon sump and phosban reactor. Works great.

Great return pump, I'm currently using it in my 65G with a 20G sump. Very quiet and produces great flow. I needed the extra power so that I can plumb my other reactors to it.

Mag-Drive is the only return pump I'll trust for any of my marine aquairums. I use this on my 125 gallon reef and it hasnt failed me ever.
