Not Mag as in Supreme Mag but a magnetic drive. like Iwaki pumps. Here's the Pan World description from the Marine Depot site:
"Pan World Magnetic Water Pumps are built by a former chief engineer from Iwaki-Japan. It basically has the same specifications such as flow curves, high head pressure and reliability. It also features seal-free bearings and magnetic drive for trouble-free use." In general magneticly driven can be throtled down without damaging the pump as they don't tear themselves apart internally (interms of impellers, shafts & seals) as typical centrifugal pumps might when presented with back pressure or if they run dry for a short period.

Slowly but surely.
 Have a few pics now, just need to scan them in. They depict the last few weeks anyway. The Derltec skimmer went crazy AGAIN when I was out for just 2 hours. Came home to another 50 gallons down the drain. Basically the thing is unusable until I get the float valve.

C'mon, dream big . . . go for the 1Ds Mk II, it's only about $8K or so for the body only.

Before you go with the Rebel XT, look at the Nikon D70 for a similar price point comparison. We have the D70 and played with my Sister-in-law's XT over Thanksgiving. The XT takes a nice picture, but even she commented that the D70 felt more solid and shot a sharp image. If you already have autofocus Cannon lenses, the XT will be a great camera for you.

I have to agree with Vamp75, the 20D is an amazing setup. I have had mine for a year now, and I am continually amazed at the quality of photo's it produces.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all, Mike

Thanks for the ideas. It will be a while before I can get the new camera as I have a few big purchases to take care of before that - live rock, chiller, controller....when does it end, heh.

Not sure but are the cameras cheaper since you are in Japan already?

Okay, found an hour to sort out some pics. Some not the best quality but should give you a good idea about how these racks work....
Well, the first test was done with salt. I took the tops off and poured plenty of salt inside the racks and turned the pumps on. The first test was done with 3 nozzles up and 3 nozzles down and the results were disappointing as you can see.... Rack 1 - pump off  Rack 1 - pump on  Rack 2 - pump off  Rack 2 - pump on  As you see I was just not getting enough flow off 3 nozzles to clear out the rack and this was just light salt. So was time to go back to the drawing board.

So I decided that if I was going to keep this idea I need to face all 6 nozzles down. I added locline and rearranged and this time did a test with sand. The results were great. All sand was cleared in seconds leaving the area under the racks spotless.
Rack 1 - pump off  Rack 1 - pump off  Rack 2 - pump off  Rack 2 - pump off  You can really see how well they performed with the sand piled up towards the back for easy siphoning when needed.
