Problem now, the Tunze keeps squeaking randomly....

did you build the stand?

Don't scare him, or he will be tearing his tank apart to put the new stand in before New Year.

Thanks Kevin, but it's the pump housing, not the clip. I bought new ones last year, and they work ok, but with the thrashing of the new profile, they don't hold.

I have three tanks, make that 4.. now answer the question

for the record I don't like the idea of water sloshing back and forth in a tank. if you figure 1 gal of salt water weighs about 9lbs plus the kentitic energy it has in its motion, thats a lot of cycling force in the tank and a cycling force will destroy things faster than a constant force.

Driver alarm? Or propeller friction?

I have two spare propellers - magnet, bushing, propellers and even the little orange o-ring - from old streams I don't have anymore (well, I have one 6080 for mixing SW). I can put one or both in the mail if you want ..

It's driver alarm, almost. Just starts squeaking, then stops. Over and over. Pump is running fine, took it apart to see if it needed cleaning, but nothing in there is dirty. Dunno, might be time to replace the old pumps

Got one in my 265, love it. If the tank breaks I'm calling my insurance company and they can buy me a new one.

I had this problem. Darn it, now I don't remember what the problem was though. Have you read through this thread yet over at RC? http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1071516&

I think I ended up having to retire the most troublesome stream which is how I ended up with one of the spare propellers. The other spare propeller came from my other 6080 which was mounted on a wavysea and the back and forth movement caused the powercord to rub its insulation off the wire. The propellers from the two units look identical.
