I would lean towards the SWC, shipping, duty, etc. will be better and the quality is excellent....but your tank..lol

Pretty similar to the Bubble Magus NAC7. Similar design and same pump. Prices look similar too. Nice to have a Canadian alternative.

Yeah quite similar I like the SWC look better, and also the plug for the skimmer cup looks better (Doesn't affect performance in any way, but looks cleaner.

The biggest difference is the water level adjustment and air intake. The SWC design is much better and easier to adjust in my opinion.

After everything is said and done I think the SWC will cost a bit less as well, (No duty and shipping would probably be cheaper), the other plus is that Jayson has replacement parts available directly from Winnipeg for pretty much evey part. I think you'd have to work pretty hard at breaking anything though, pretty sturdy unit.

Keep you posted!
