I am kind of in a bind here, my tank is having some trouble and to make things worse, it looks like I ended up on the short end of a trade involving my MP40Ws. Unfortunately, one of the tunzes I traded for was super encrusted and after 2 hours in vinegar, I found this..



what's worse is that the control box (once I opened it) has some corrosion in it, so that pump is pretty much toast..

so now I have one wave box and one pump from a wave box for all my flow in my 180 gallon SPS dominated reef

I need another pump soon, but my wife has put the smackdown on my spending :(

hey, mike... i talked to roger about it over at tunze... problem is that may very well fail, the other problem is that it was offered as a 6100, but it turns out it was only a 6000 which is no where near enough flow anyways :(

you should bring the kids over to go swimming this weekend

You could try sealing the cable with silicon and electrical tape, but this isn't a sure thing. ~snip~ Typically water will wick back into the driver or into the motor over time and cause a short and failure of the pump and or driver

if by the end of the weekend, I do not contact him, either by returning or answering one of my phone call, or me just stopping by his house I will, but for now I am going to give him the benefit of doubt. could be he is tied up or his phone is broken or something, I have known him for years and this is very unexpected

currently I am worried about losing more corral due to lack of flow and this comes at a very trying financial time for us. I don't want to just go out an buy a coupple of K4s that I will end up replacing

if you're close to tustin I have a MJ mod and a K1 you could borrow... I know it's not much but it could help you get through... pm me if you'd like.

thanks tom, for helping make this all work out. i just got back with meeting up with the unnamed seller, and between him and tom, i got hooked up with this, and am all happy and have good flow in my tank again :)
