How come so many vortechs for sale?

[christyf5]

I have mostly tunzes and one MP40. Both have their pros and cons. I bought the MP40 because it was a smoking deal and the spot I wanted it in looks better without seeing the cord in the tank. Flow shmow though, I don't see a diff between the tunze and vortech (although I don't have the vortechs nor tunzes on any kind of fancy flow setting) and I like being able to position the tunzes and my tank doesn't accommodate much space for non-angling powerheads.

That being said, I got some killer deals on used Tunzes when everyone jumped on the vortech bandwagon a couple years ago. It was awesome

I don't know if it has anything to do with vortech's being for sale all the time or not but when I was looking into them just about every thread I looked at mentioned the great customer service that Ecotech has which worried me. I still have my koralias from 4 years ago (bought used even) and I have absolutely no idea how Hydor's customer service is because I've never had to call them. I didn't find much on how Tunze's C.S. is either because there just doesn't seem to be much that goes wrong with their products. Either way I have no dead spots in my tank that I can find and it didn't cost me a grand for 2 plastic propellers to do it.

Lol of all the pieces of failed aquarium equipment (I have bought many over the years) that I have been tempted to throw off my deck, my koralia powerheads are the only things that actually took flight

I think the secret is to never clean them!
