Looks pretty sweet

But will it stop running backwards?
And will the impeller magnets quit swelling up and freezing the thing?

I've never had the impellers swell but had the backwards thing happen

This is what happens to them.

That sucks I had that happen on my vertex skimmer I temp fixed it by citing off the plastic filing the magnet reattaching and jb welding and lastly filing held up till I got a replacement then the pump body fried... Couldn't win

But so far my koralias are fine if they fail I have the gyre

Shouldn't have to mess with parts from any manufacturer
Tired of spending my hard-earned money only to have to deal with things like this ...

The next thing of mine that breaks is going to create a whole new experience for the customer service staff ... !!

On a good note, best customer service ever from Marineland. Had a double bright LED light over a freshwater tank. A week or so ago I came home to it flashing, a sign that power supply to LEDs has gone kaput. Called up Marineland explained that my light was strobing and asked would it be possible to get a new power supply? Woman in customer service asked for my address and said a replacement part would be on its way. A couple of days ago a rather large box showed up on my doorstep, inside was a complete new light. Now that's customer service!
