Wave Line Puck & Controller

scuzy · Jan 9, 2018

Hmm odd both of mine are going full blasts. There is a way to open it to check for a snail or something stuck

I've added and removed this thing from my cart 3-4 times today alone.

Wow, I have to say that my pump is not working, after less than a week, ugh... @premiumaquatics just ordered through you guys, do you cover at less than a week after purchase? Please message me or I will contact Jason I guess, maybe I will switch out to something like a tunze, this is not good!

Sorry to hear that , Does the motor have any vibration at all.
Check the pins on the cable connection and look for discoloration on the points of contact, the connection seems to be a troublemaker, I hope It's something simple.

Sadly I did check the pins, and the middle pin was disconnected/broken away from fixed location and stuck in the female end of the plug, obviously a bad pin connection/poor soldering job... Ugh, I am working with Luke @premiumaquatics , where I ordered, may try a tunze pump instead, but maybe I should try another puck, hmm.....

@Perry tough break, I knew when I purchased this it was a gamble and was really hoping that it was a sleeper. If I remember this was the only power head you were running in the cube, to have a failure could have been ugly.
Mine Is supplementary so I took that chance. I don't think I would trust this or any new device as a sole method of flow. Same reason I am waiting a year to purchase the COR return pump.
Good Luck with your tank.

Hey @siggy I appreciate the feedback, and yes this is actually supplemental to the tank. My return pump actually provides a good amount of flow, which creates a nice undertow providing plenty of flow to the young corals. As the corals grow, this will obviously change, I think the tunze nano 9040 is a better bet for my foot print and demands, and obviously more reliable. I do however see a MP40 at some point, being that one pump solution

@Perry what was the outcome from Premium aquatics and what did you end up with?
BTW mine is still chugging along

scuzy · Jan 22, 2018

Mines too

Perry · Jan 22, 2018

Good to hear guys, I decided to go with Tunze 9040, small and controllable, and more than enough flow for now. I really hope these pumps work out, I love the settings on the controller

Best of luck all

I've had mine since they came out and no issues so far. My only runs for about 12hrs a day though. I dig these.

Perry · Jan 23, 2018

I may just keep this pump and use as the tank matures, @Ricardo@Coralvue message me, the pin on the pump side, male center pin, has broken off, likely why the pump not responding. I only seated the connection a few times, I think maybe one slipped through the cracks at QC. The pump is less than 2 weeks purchased, and only in action for 3 days before failing. Maybe I can warranty and replace the pump directly? Hope to hear from you my friend

Cheers!!!

I had one for 2 weeks now and so far it out performs my MP40s
It pushes a lot of water more like a wave action. I have sps close up to it and it doesn't blow off the skin like other power heads I have.
I don't even hear it running.
I'm selling my mp40 and going to pickup another.
Only bad so far it suckup my seahare and turned off. I removed what's left;Meh and it started up without any issues.

@Perry How did everything turn out on service

siggy · Mar 10, 2018

@nashorn Yes on the water flow my hammers dislike the the mp40 strong currents this is a nice addition to supplement that. I am keeping the mp40 just scaling it back

UPDATE: Over 4 months now still going strong and dead silent. I did get a snail that stopped it once but no fowl. it needs a good cleaning now its covered in coraline and the flow has diminished slightly.
I want to mention that I have unplugged the motor cable connection several times doing maintenance and wire management and no pin issues....Still Thumbs UP!

Mines been pretty decent can't complain for the price.

I’m sorry to jump in here but I have a wavepuck that ran for three weeks then died. I get an E1 message which indicates something has gotten stuck. Problem is we can’t figure out how to take it apart. There are two small tabs on the back but they’re too tight to move.

Can anyone help?
