Question for Fishman1

[clamchops]

In a recent thread you talked about having a Mag 7 in your sump, Ive read in another thread that these Mag 7 are crap and never restart, have you or anyone else had this problem? I have one on order <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

Clam,
I have a mag 7 in my sump and have had no problems at all i had a short power surge in my house one day and it restarted no prob and if i turn turn the power strip off to do any crazy maintence on the tank it turns right back on when i throw switch, i have read that u should replace the housing screws with plastic ones since the teflon coated ones rust which would be a good idea i noticed this on my pump also last night and will be making the switch to nylon screws

Sorry it took so long to reply. I have been using Mag Pumps over 10 years in one form or another and they have been great. The Mag5 I used the longest and still use it mixsaltwater and do water changes. It sounds like the pump was droped. And as for the screws I guess I have just been luckey. And the Mag7 Iam useing it my sump as I type this reply and no problems it gets switched off and on 3-4 times a day.
