Best wavemaker pump?

[kirkland]

I don't want to bother with replacing the magdrive's broken impeller if this problem is going to continue (it's broken 2x now). We have a wavysea wave maker that is mounted to one of our front corners on our 92g. The pump will be housed inside the tank behind the rockwork. There won't be a lot of room for a medium-large sized pump to sit flat on the bottom of the tank. It will likely be wedged on top of the rockwork. Any recommendations? On the plus side, when I do replace the impeller, we'll have a better pump for water changes!

If you are looking for a pump that can be run internally and still be fairly small, you probably aren't gonna get any better then the magdrives. You could look into ocean runners as well. It all depends on what kind of flow you want?

I would like to have at least 500gph, preferably 700pgh. There is about 6" of space behind the rockwork. I would rather have the wavemaker pump in the sump but I think between that and our new oceanrunner6500, the sump would drain faster than our overflow would fill. Everyone told me that magdrives are not good for on/off cycles with a wavemaker so I'm unsure what kind to go with. ???
