Best possible powerhead/pump to use on a AquaC Urchin?

[cdeakle]

I have only found 2 different recommended powerheads for my AquaC Urchin (In-sump) skimmer:

-MaxiJet 1200
-Rio 800

I hate rio's with a passion and although I love MaxiJets for water circulation I would prefer a better PH for my skimmer. Any suggestion? I hear alot of hype about Mags, can I use one of these??

Maxijet all the way, IMHO.

I have that exact setup and it's solid as a rock and very quite. The quiet factor was high on my list as my home office places the skimmer about 2 feet from my left ear. I love it and it was worth the extra money.

Ditto to mooner. Avoid the Rio at all costs, or it will cost you - sooner or later. 8O
