I have had Nothing but problems with my Gyre 150 being Destroyed by my Stingrays and Large fish. The picture is of what they did last night to one side of the gyre.
The pump didnt fall or get smashed against anything, that is just from a fish darting into it during the night.
Maxspect does Not cover this in their warrantee.
The plastic protective cover over the propellers is made of Weak Plastic. If a fish darts into it, or a Stingray chews on it, the protective sleeve breaks and the propeller gets chewed up by the broken protective sleeve. I have replaced Both sides already and only have owned the pump for 2 months.
The pump is Great for my small fish tank but is not designed for large fish.
When I told this to the technical department at Coralvue (who handle all warrantee work for maxspect gyre pumps) they said that noone had reported such an issue and there was no plans in using a Stronger Plastic Protective Sleeve for gyre pumps.
I just wanted you guys to be aware....
