    Congratulations on your wonderful father's day and your new pump! Your daughter is a doll, she was probably loving helping dad with filling up the tank for the test. The art work should be framed and kept for sure! :)

    Thanks so much OFK! Yea she had a lot of fun! But didn't enjoy sitting and watching the test. She wanted to play.
    The art is on the fridge now and will definitely be a keeper. I love it.
    Thanks again.

    Maybe I'm just not understanding Alex. In the high and low function, when you turn the dial there is 3 speeds? S1, S2 and S3. Is that what your saying?

    No the dial is to tune wave frequency thats all. Most people are using these on "Else" mode that is a random current generator like "ReefCrest" for vortechs. Unfortunately this proves to be quite intense so people used all sorts of apparatus to reduce voltage to the pump.

    Jeabo updated the controller a few times and the newer ones have an extra button and led array for S1 (50% power) S2 (75% power) S3 (100% power)

    Reason I ask is that they are sending our the previous controller but you can get a new one for $7.50-$10 shipped if you contact fishstreet.

    Thanks Alex, ok then no. I didn't get the new controller. Guess I'll have to email fish street and get the updated one. Sucks because I just ordered it last Thursday. Oh well.
    Thanks for the help Alex.

    I sure do. That's one of the reasons I've waited so long was for an update controller. It's not a huge deal but I just kinda want it. Random for sure. Guess I won't play the lottery this week.

    Great news Will!

    I got a card with the envelope fully decoraded by my 10 yr old, the card too!

    My wp40 is and has been in Dallas for about a week. That's who I got the group buy thru. He hasn't answered my texts for a few days. Not really worried though, he is a doctor, and he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express recently I think. LOL

    Can't wait for the estra flow cause my 2 koralias bit it recently, reducing my tank flow by at least a third.

    ThANKS Shin!
    No prob. I know there's a lot of good reviews and bad. I wanted to add to the good. I do like it. I like it a lot! I've been underpowered for some time and this just fully gives me the flow I want and need.

    That's awesome Todd! I love getting hand made stuff. Means a lot more than buying stuff.

    I think you'll really like it. I don't think you'll have any issues with the sensor. Maybe at first but once you get it dialed in it will be great.

    Before I had only 2 k3s and a k1 strategically places so corals were happy but lacked the flow needed. Now I have this pump and the 2 k3s and things are great. Only one coral is unhappy and its the ginormous rhino leather in the middle. He's a little shriveled up but I that over time it'll get used to it. It did this every time I moved the ph around. And it did blow my new bn off one of the rocks. Oh well I'll just place him again.
    Overall still very happy with the performance of this beast.
