I have a 180g tanks and I had a speed wave DC 5000 and I have had it go out on me and times now in less then a year. I was wondering what a good pump would be that will not die on me in a year time? Sump is under the stand?
 
I have been using a Jaebo DC pump and am pleased so far. Iwaki makes very dependable pumps but they tend to run hot and they are very noisy

Eheim is all I use, they just go forever w/ so little maintenance, never hear them.
I had a 1262 on my last two 180's, and my last two 150g's as well.
People were all over those DC's when they first came out due to lower watts I think mainly, but this is by far not the first post I've seen on them crapping out.
