Any idea when these will be back in stock?

Yup..... That's how I messed my bushing up. Not watching the maintenance vid! [emoji12]I've had the same positive experience with mine (also purchased in Feb). I've replaced the bushings once and use the removable sleeves to help keep it clean. Be sure to watch the maintenance video on Coralvue if you decide to take it apart for cleaning. I did some damage before I slowed down and watched it.
dang.... Woke up this morning and one side isn't spinning. Most likely it's the bushing. but it's on the same side as the one I already replaced. Grrrrrr.....
Ohh sorry I forgot to report back bout that. So yes it was the bushing again. I did still have one replacement that came with the unit. So all is good.
After watching the maintenance video, I realized that they recommend cleaning this pump every month and I surely wasn't doing that. So I assume that's why that bushing went bad again.
Yes the 3K works in the exact same principle.
Not currently, but they are looking into the possibility!
This type of ferrite core magnet, while having slightly less magnetism compared to rare earth ones, has an advantage that it will not rust and can be safely used underwater.
Absolutely! We use this style of pump on our frag tanks that are just about the same dimensions.

Any advice on setup for a 3k on a standard 75G FOWLR (well with one piece of duncan right now on the opposite side of the 3k)? Hope to add more coral in the future but nothing super fancy.
I haven't played with these personally, so I'd have to see what they are capable of and what settings they have. Ryan just added some to the Red Sea E170 in his office as a part of the BRS/WWC System series. His episode on flow comes out this Friday so hopefully he shares his settings for it.
I haven't played much but this is what I've found so far. When it's on the side of my tank where i tcan be mounted horizontally (which has it going with the return flow) the gyre pattern gives great coverage but fills up the hole nearby where our pistol shrimp and watchman goby have made their home. On the other side of the tank (going against flow) I can have it on either side of the overflow, mounted vertically. But it seems like even on the lowest settings it's too much flow for our Duncan. So it's either risk trapping our little fishies, have too much flow for the Duncan, or move the Duncan. I'm thinking moving the Duncan is the best option.
This isn't the best picture but it may help. The Duncan right now is on the rocks where the red arrow is pointed. The shrimp and goby's home is in the sand on the other side (sort of under the red circle). So on that far side the gyre can be mounted horizontal, but on the overflow side it can only be mounted vertically on either side of the overflow panel.
