Don,
Did you have problem with your RW 15 wavemaker after cleaning them?
I cleaned one today, when I would put it back into my tank it wouldn't spin. Took it out and it would work fine. I have a spare and it did the same thing.
Did yours do this?

They would been fine after cleaning. One just stopped running all together one day. I switched power supplies and it didn't help. Shot. Hey, over five years running continuously, can't complain.

Controllers or power brick.

Controllers or power brick.

I could test them both. I'm wondering if there is not enough electric to spin the propeller against the water. It will spin out of the water.

Not sure. I've never had one do that.

One of the newest corals we got from california was a sunset montipora. It looked DOA as it's bag wasn't full of water and it had lost its color badly. Nevertheless I placed it in the frag tank and it seemed to just die off.

Things happen out of our control and I just let the frag sit with little hope of it coming back.

Well, it's not dead:

Just goes to show you that "life will find a way"!

There's actually no water in there. It's a illusion! LOL

Seriously, Filter sock and a UV sterilizer.
