Hey All,
My MaxSpect XF-130 controller bit the dust last night after I shut it off for feeding (and back on). Coralvue got back to me quick, and said I need a new one most likely. I bought the XF-130 back in 2015, but only first installed it new this year, so I'm out of warranty.
So I'm deciding on either getting a new controller, and risk the pump being bad anyway (or going bad later), or I could just get a brand new IceCap 3K for the same price as the controller.
The things that are most important to me:
1. Quiet
2. Reliable
I assume it's going to work as expected, so that's not even on the list.
Is it worth keeping my XF-130 over the Icecap 3k? Or are they pretty much the same?
I could also just get an XF230 pump/controller combo, and do dual gyre pumps with my XF130, and in the case the 130 is bad, then I'm ok anyway?
