galleon -

R U sure?

I don't have a Mag 2 handy, but the Mag 3, 5, and 7 all have 1/2" male threaded outputs.

the mag 2 through the mag 7 (i think,the mag 5 for sure)have a 1/2" MPT out put and a 1/2" FPT input.

Wow, thanks guys. Talk about crummy source material.

Could be, most if not all of the pumps I have/used have the long cord (pond pump).
No body has ever emailed me saying the mag pump wont fit so I would have to assume the 1/2" pipe threads are correct on both pond and aquarium pumps. The mag 9 and up have 3/4" fittings, not sure about the very large mag pumps.

ah, ok, my apologies for the screwup

Your source is probably right. Supreme sells these pumps to both the aquarium and pond markets, and the outputs may be different.

I think that both measurements are in some sense correct...the actual threaded output is 1/2" MPT, and if you want to attach 1/2" ID tubing you'll need to get a hose barb that is Barb x 1/2" FPT. On the other hand, 3/4" ID tubing fits perfectly over the little threaded nub output of the pump (definitely use a hoseclamp if you do it this way!). I have my skimmer hooked up this way because I'm running it with a Mag 7 and my skimmer input is 3/4". Hope that helps...
