Not a post to criticise bubble magus generally as I know several reefers that love theirs & it is ultimately a budget option but mine finally died today during its second clean.
After the air intake broke fairly quickly, the bubble plate cracked & one of the acrylic screws snapped off I persevered with it as it performed well.
Today I noticed it wasn't skimming properly & found a long crack in the main body.
I was planning on hunting for a new/used body for it but while removing the impeller to clean the spindle snapped!
I may have just been unlucky with this one but I've just ordered a NYOS 120 to replace.
Even at the price point the BM seems super fragile!
