Sorry to hear about your troubles, but OMG, don't quit, your tank looks amazing!! Been following from the beginning and just love your rock work!
Not a lot of experience with all the pumps yet, but I thought Mag Drives and Eheims were pretty much both proven staples of our hobby. Good luck!

I would go with the ehiem 1262 reliable and good flow for your system oh ya and ultra quiet, and parts a readily available at the local fish store.

I have a 1262 and really like it. So much quieter than my mag 9.5 that I had before.

Thank you for the encouragement WarDog.
 It's just Frustrating some days especially when your getting up in the wee hours to unplug the ATO and Skimmer then resetting the pump.  I have lost my Red gorgonaian and my zooanthids to the algea which ticks me off too. Thank you for the recommendations. I 'm going to have to make a store run today or tomorrow and hopefully they have a pump in stock and, hopefully the long list of other stuff I need too.

Well...I'm back.
My tank has been so neglected I'm pretty much starting over again. (Separation ain't for the weak!) I filled a 5 gal bucket almost 5 inches with bubble algea. I have had a lot of losses but luckily my mandarins are doing great and my one clam huge! I have added a new clean up crew and a Sailfin tang to help me out with the bubble algea..he is a machine! Yes! I know he will outgrow my tank I am prepared for that.

Thanks Kien!
I spent about 5 hours on it last week. It was my pennance for such neglect! a lot of it I could just scoop out with a net it wasn't even attached to the rocks. There is still a lot left to pluck off the rocks but that Angel is really making a difference. It will be awhile before I do anything with the tank other than recovery.I might start a "nano" tank for my room until My main is fully functioning again. otherwise I wont be able to stay patient lol.
