Lol love it, same sorry here.Hey when I set-up my 400 I told my wife the MP60's cost $200 so those are my cheap ones, and that's the story I'm sticking with.
Found two Jeboa SLW-30’s, two months old, for $40 each. Came out of the box like new. They’ve been in my 55 gallon for about two months without issue.What’s your most favorite, “cheaper” powerhead/pump for water movement in your saltwater reef aquarium?
Youch!I have 2 all pond solutions wavemakers which are a re-branded jebae I believe, well shape of powerhead same and controller looks same whi h cost I think £ 60 each ,which roughly $50,and also got a none controllable smaller just power head which cost £11.99 which around $8 ,which had around 10 months maybe little longer and still works good,just doesn't have a magnet to hold onto glass,it's got a suction cup which stopped working about 2 weeks ago, so now rest it inbetween rockwork and algae magnet scraper lol
As vortech mp40 cost so dang much,my thinking is can buy like 5 off these all pond solutions wavemakers for price off one mp40 so even if failed after the 1 year warranty I get at least 1 year from each so 5 years worth and I dont like idea that mp40 you can't aim towards water surface anyway
Just googled price off my wavemakers and are £60 and vortech mp40 are £400 so thats $480 American dollars according to Google which sounds about right, so I can buy 8 of my powerheads plus £ 20 change for price of 1 mp40 so even if break 1 day after the year warranty, that means I get 8 years from them,and yeah no wires in tank sounds cool but not £400 cool lol
Pumps with controllers will run their life span quicker because without the circuit board it won't turn on at all. So it's however long the circuit board will last. Motors themselves usually last a really long time.I've used powerheads from multiple excellent brands (don't want to name the brands) But for some reason they only lasted a little over a year. I've cleaned them and sent them for repairs under their warranty, but they only lasted a few months thereafter. I would love to keep using them. However the Hydor Koralia's never failed me, I've had 3 of them, 240, 550, and1150 GPH for over 3 years now running strong and non stop. Maybe a pump that has a single setting without the ability to control makes them last longer?...or I just have bad luck with fancy ones
