Abyzz A200 pump and Royal Exclusiv Red Dragon 3 230W side by side

Bottom line is they got you taken care of! I must admit, The way Scott handles customer service with these pumps is great. But then again it wasn't always this way and he has had some practice over the last couple years to iron out the kinks.
 
I have a tracking number that shows Friday delivery.
I think they handled the situation just fine. While it is upsetting that the controller stopped working in the first place, it's under warranty and is being taken care of.
They could have responded yesterday a little earlier but, They did respond in the morning Monday to the ticket I opened over the weekend. CoralVue's CEO responded to me right away over the weekend about it.

I am sure as they get things for Abyzz understood, the speed of service will improve. Nothing out there is 100%. Anything you buy no matter the cost can break. It happens.

So far I am happy with Tunze, CoralVue, and Royal Exclusiv's support. They are the best in the business. They have the right people in place to serve the community. This can change at anytime. Hopefully it does not!!
 
Not as big a tank or pump but I have been battling temps with an internal pump for over a year.
The original Waveline's ran so cool I needed a heater to maintain anything over 76 degrees. Well, then 2 pumps died.
Nothing I tried AC or DC ran under 80 degrees, some over that.
I now run a RD Speedy 3 80 Watt @ 72 Watts. Temps are now right around 77-78 degrees.
I'm a "Happy Camper" again.

Did they stop making the Waveline pumps? A shame if they did as they have worked very well for me and they do run cool.
 
the new controller came and I am getting low volt error on it :( this is very aggravating. Support is closed until Monday so no solution until then.
Also most ready to return it and get another Red Dragon.

That's disappointing to say the least. Surprised they don't quality control new products before sending them out. 0 for 2 now and you have the pump for a month.

I don’t know the Abyzz controllers but is it possible that it’s in 0-10v mode or something via a setting in the controller and not detecting a 0-10v connection and throwing a low voltage error as a result? Maybe a setting that needs to be changed via the menu?
 
Looks like the replacement was the 220v until. It is on its way back to them and a new one is in shipping to me. Hopefully, this will be the fix!!
 
Update:
They sent me a 2 controller. It works but was damaged in shipping.

Looks like it is my controller now. They do not seem to think I need a controller that is not damaged on the outside. It works so they are happy, it's sad an $1800 pump and I get screwed with a controller that has a bent mounting bracket.
 
Based on your experience, it’s pretty clear that the Red Dragon by Royal Exclusiv is the way to go in the high end pump market. I really hope Coral Vue and Abyzz hears this loud and clear. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us... definitely eye opening!

As long as Scott stays at Royal then yes the support is better, If he ever leaves it could be an issue. CoralVue is slow but got it fixed. FedEx messed up the shipping of it. CoralVue should also have put it in a bigger box.

Damn.. I’m not even sure what to say about the issues you are having with the Abyzz stuff other than I am truly sorry and I mean that with the utmost sincerity.

As for Royal Exclusiv, I’m not going anywhere but RE USA is a team effort and while I field a lot of the front end presales and post sales stuff, it really is a team effort. Especially since I’m in Los Angeles area and our warehouse is in Florida. RE USA is not a one man band and everybody involved in RE USA is a hobbyist first and foremost. Needless to say, I’m obviously here anytime you have questions regardless of the day of week. You know how to reach me!

Newest news, I will be testing and providing feedback on a new controller that is coming out next year. So, for now, I will be using this one I got today until they are ready with the new one.

Yep I will be in contact if I have issues :) This thread will be updated from time to time on how both pumps are doing.
 
Lasted news is both pumps are still working out great. I added 2 1" Omni Flex Nozzles to the outputs of the Red Dragon 3. The flow out is amazing, I am glad I added them.
I also received my 10 year certificate for the warranty on the Abyzz Pump.
