Maxijet likely won't give you enough flow through the chiller.

Bring your "A" game or go home! :lol2:

Yes, they consume a lot of power, but as stated earlier, they are cheap, easy to find, and I'll add to that indestructable, simple and versitile. But I do still consider myself an amatuer compared to many on here. And I'm not ashamed.....

Bah, they're not as cheap as they used to be, or even as cheap as you'd think when you consider how much it's costing you in power consumption and heating the tank!

Heck, I sold my used Mag 9.5 and was able to buy a brand new quiet one and had a few dollars to spare!

+1 one the maxijet feeding the chiller. I tried it it when I first got my chiller and it barely made it back up my tank. I ended up running it with a mag. 3, I had a mag. 2 to run my aquaC skimmer and a mag. 7 for my return. (I'm a mag lover too)!! I just removed the mag. 2 & 3 and replaced them with a mag. 7 with a slip in the line to go to my chiller and skimmer at the same time with a ballvalve on the intake of my chiller to decrease flow if need be. So I'm down to 2 mag drives instead of 3.

hahaha... if you were to change out all of the mag drives.. you probably wouldnt need a chiller at all..


...I'm just sayin'...



(btw, mag pumps are more expensive than both the QuiteOne pumps and the Marineland utility pumps.. )

I'll have to look into the quite one. I know the mag drives run hot but their size fits inside my pump spacing perfectly. I designed the sump to accommodate the mag drives. if there's a cooler running internal pump with the same footprint as the mag 7 with the same if not more power. I may have to start changing out pumps. ( that means I'll have 4 mag drives up for sale)!!!!

have you looked at the sicce pumps (they've made pumps for tunze for years)? marineland utility pumps?

I'll look in to it today once I get a minute at work. Thanks for the heads up Ron.

Ive had my ac on off and on for the past few weeks. If my house reaches over 70 deg my ac kicks own.
