Go through the LFS you bought it from.

I bought 2 when they first came out. One arrived defective and it was a month and a half of fighting before I got a replacement. Only after going on Reefcentral and bashing the company. I bought here in Canada but had to deal with a place in L.A. for warranty.

I've had Tunze and Vortech and IME the Gyres work the best. But im using 2 together. I put them in a couple of clients tanks and they've been working great as well. Build quality seems a little cheaper than Tunze and Vortech though, I still would'nt go back to them. Especially the Tunze, takes up to much room in tank and ugly looking

Sooooo...I walk by the tank, and I figure oh what the heck, and flip the power switch. It turned on!!!! I ran it for a few minutes, and I'm all hmm... I switch it to pulse flow, and it jams up right away. Took me another 5 mins to get it running on steady flow again. It turns out when it jams up it starts easier when I use the switch (it's on a DJ power bar) rather than unplugging it from the adapter. So now it's running still for maybe 5 mins. *fingers crossed* Maybe I'll try pulse mode tomorrow...

You like the look of Gyres? I think they're uglier than the rest of them. This freaking thing takes up half the back wall of the tank!
