Has Anyone tried this?

I followed the directions to the letter, I purchased a new mag 5 drive, I
cant get it to stop leaking.. does anyone have any types i could try?
thanks

I've made this contraption as well...What exactly is leaking ?
The only problem I've ever had is with my mag 9.5 sucking in air.

Their is probably a better pump out there to use with a closed loop.
Like the Coralife Mag pumps.

the leak is coming from the fitting on the mag drive, the end that returns
the water to the tank

Ok, so it is leaking from the threads on the outlet. Just
take it off, and put some more thread tape on it, and
retighten it.

But personaly I'm not a big fan of thread tape. I like
using dow corning non curing silicone product # 111.
