Aquaclear powerheads

[Beverly]

Sorry to hear about your terrible misfortune, Murray

How often do you break down and clean your AC powerheads? Mine have never done what you describe, but I break them down to clean them weekly. I'd probably do the same with any powerhead, though. A well maintained piece of equipment is less bound to fail, IME.

Again, so sorry to hear about your losses

When I started my reef in 2001 the first two ph's I bought were Hagen's. I just removed them recently after a tank upgrade. 5+ years and never a problem. I'll still be using them in a new qt tank. In the same time period I went threw 4 Maxi-Jets and I don't know how many MJ impellers.

Sorry to hear of your Loss Murray.
I may have a few items to help you get the tank going again.
Drop me a line sometime.

Personally, I'd recommend a Maxijet purchase over an AC powerhead anyday.

Dang Murray, that sucks. Hopefully your tank will bounce back.

I also have had nothing but problems with AC powerheads. I now use Seios, Tunzes, & Maxijets.

On the other hand, I love the AC power filters for their sheer reliability & ease of use.

Anyone see the new tunze streams (the nanostream pumps)?

Oh man the Nanostreams are the sweetest little things, especially the 6055 which is controllable.

BTW Bev, a good anemone protection technique for Tunze Streams is the Stream Rock.

I wouldn't recommend Seio for restarts after the pwr goes out.I have to slap my Seio's to restart it.Can't complain about the flow.I have a couple Seio's and a couple MJ1200.The MJ restarts every time.
