I've had a wet side magnet split and rust. Getting ready to change the bearings on two MP40s for the second time. I'll probably never buy another at the price they are now.

I have never understood how someone can pay 400+ dollars for a wavemaker.
Flow is the key to success!
Everyone knows that the real flow revolution is in gyre pumps. Up until now, everyone has been doing it wrong. Yes that means you too.
Are you ready to revolutionize your flow? Are you ready to revolutionize your success?
Introducing:
Revolutionary construction, Revolutionary controllability, Revolutionary modularity, Revolutionary reliability, and most of all Revolutionary flow. It's time for the hobby to (r)evolve... Jebo/jcod, icecap, readsea, maxspect. Everyone is doing it... So should you. Dont get left out... Join the flow revolution today.

Worried about maintenance? Welcome to Revolutionary maintenance.I have been using 2 MP 40's for 4 years now. Quite reliable so far, but indeed very expensive.
I encountered 1 issue, sounding like the OP's: some sand got into the shaft (been making a mess, shifting some rocks to get a fish out). I heard loud scratching noises, but after opening the wet side and cleaning the shaft, it got solved right away. No issues since.
I'm intrigued by the gyre pumps, but they sound like a lot of maintenance (and a cable inside the tank and through the cover).
So sick of replacing wet sides on my mp40s. Never again will I buy these dang things. I won’t even sell them to anyone else because I would feel bad they would need new wet sides every 6-10 months ridiculous for the price of wetsides I can buy jeboas yearly and not bother cleaning them. Rant over but seriously anyone else done.
Been running QD's for four years. Replaced one dry side for bearing failure. These things run 24 hours a day with random flow. I've had snails stuck in them. Fish go through them.Ya I gave up awhile ago...
Oddly enough the wet sides before QD was a thing lasted years.... the new wet sides are built similar but definitely different looking and are garbage.
Thank you for being the advocate that you are and have been. You have provided alot of positive and valuable feedback. I agree with alot of what you have said especially some of the personal choice / perspective that you mentioned. People value different things for different reasons. I appreciate your conviction. Thank you.Just shy of 9000 hours per year. And people don't maintain them. Yet they want them to last.
Right?If you worked 40 hours every week you'd have put in 2000 hours. Come back and complain when you put in 5000 hours. Then realize your power heads are putting in twice that in a year.
