CoralVue Tech Support came through for me. Upon their advice, I put in a grounding probe and it instantly solved the problem. However, I wanted to investigate this further as I was a bit concerned about inducing some small currents through the tank. I pulled the Gyre out and gave it a thorough cleaning as captured in the video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMG4VYHlM9U. I noticed a crack and several notches in the power cord going to the Gyre motor. Also, I was trying to fix the 2nd rotor not rotating issue as part of the cleaning following some other information Carlos provided. That problem turned out to be a rotor was stripped out - exactly as they suggested. So, Carlos & Chris contacted me today and said they are sending replacement bushings and new motor. I believe this will resolve all of the problems I have been experiencing. This problem was frustrating for all involved, but at the end of the day CoralVue delivered on their warranty. Thanks guys!
It is great to hear they are fixing the issues. :)
