Then, the next day, the second pump arrived. It too was labeled "Voyager 3" on the box and the pump, but the magnet was definitely much LARGER and the water flow output was SIGNIFICANTLY higher, definitely the 1200gph it is rated for. Obviously this other pump was mislabled by the manufacturer. I am returning the incorrect pump to Amazon for replacement, hopefully the replacement isn't botched up also.
I will say this, they are VERY quite on the Red Sea wavemaker. You only hear the humm of them running, which is very quiet. No click/clack on startup.

So far these have been marvelous pumps, extremely quiet. They are really big for their flow rate, but that's forgivable. Magnets are strong, flow is very WIDE as it should be, and is by FAR the quietest pump I've ever, EVER seen on a wavemaker.I bought two Voyager 3's to use with a Digital Aquatics Reefkeeper Lite's wavemaker function. Originally, I had Hydor Koralia pumps which would make an annoying click on startup. The SV3's mounting system has a much greater range of flexibility than the Hydor. It's perfectly quiet on startup, and moves the water well.

Solid magnet and good flow. My local fish store uses these and I think it's worth paying the premium to get quality.Read Best Reviews of Sicce Voyager 3 Power Stream Pump, 1200gph Here
These are great pumps I would recommend them to anyone. i am using 2 of these pumps with a Reefkeeper controller. And you can't hear them stop and start in wave maker mode.Great Pump, quiet and wide flow. I wish it were a little bit more powerful. Seems underpowered compared to other pumps of the same gph
