opinions on submerge pump

[trilinearmipmap]

I researched several pumps before going with a Mag 12 and I am happy with my choice.

The four choices for submersible pump I looked into were:

Mag 12
Quiet One
Eheim 1264
Ocean Runner ?6000 or 6500 I forget

The Eheim was the best choice as it is the quietest and most reliable. Unfortunately it is not available and out of production.

The Quiet Ones (new style) had a lot of comments about reliability problems and noise when I searched on various forums. I was going to buy one of these but after searching a while I decided to steer clear of them.

The Ocean Runner seemed like a good choice but there did not seem to be as many people using these pumps as the Mags, therefore I did not feel as confident buying one.

My Mag 12 is almost silent and from what I have read they are very reliable, I am happy with this pump.
