The Mag pumps seem rock solid but they generate a lot of heat. I had a 9.5 on my SVS24 but replaced it with a DC pump. Near as I can tell that took three to four degrees of heat out of my tank. Instead of the temp running 83 it now runs between 79 to 80 and I've been able to turn my chiller off. Heat management can be a big deal here in FL. I can't imagine a mag12 running cooler than a mag9.5.
