Really depressing about the Swifty Pumps they are small, powerful, and relatively inexpensive. But I would hate to have a leak in one of my boxes.

The MCP300 IS in fact a Sicce Idra pump with an aluminium outlet piece and an aluminium pumphouse cover & inlet.
I used it (the Sicce Idra) in my WC setup before I bought the Eheim 1250 and it tends to leak on the pump cover. Also it makes a rattling noise (the impeller is already fixed to the shaft - no mod possible) whenever there is some backpressure (I use also one submerged in a fishtank with the same rattling noise) and it heats up quite a lot compared to my 1250.
When I first heard the rattling noise I asked for a warranty exchange, and the new pump still makes the noise!

PS: Go for an Eheim, you won't be dissapointed!
