Anyone tried to take the pump apart to look inside? I want to see why mine went dead.

Gonna hack mine up. What should I look for? Bad copper? Do I slice this thing up in the rear seam?

I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the twin controller with 2 wp25's. These will go in my 75 mixed reef replacing 4 Koralias.
I read through most of this thread and understand about the extra cleaning requirements. I am using a rke so wont be hooking it up. Going to use the controller it comes with.
Any other advice before i set them up? Any advice on placement and or settings on the twin controller? Any "lessons learned" with these pumps?

Got them last night. Based on what I have seen, I decided to use one in my tank for now. Good flow. Nice wave action. Running one on wp1 @ 50% power. Two were too much imo. I can always add the second one if needed later, use it as a backup or alternate them at cleaning time.
Has anyone seen any research on possible negative impacts to the structural integrity of a tank using a pounding wave action vs' a constant flow from a regular Powerhead? Watching my tank with this ph got me to thinking about it.

I have two Tunze 6025's in my 75 gallon mixed reef tank. Each is rated for 740gph. I am looking at upgrading my pumps and was initially gong to get vortech's, but now that I read about these I might give them a try. My question is which one should I get and how many? Are these controllable through an apex controller?
What pumps would you guys recommend for a 65g 32X24x20?
Im thinking two wp25's with the dual controller.
Will this be way overkill? Im not looking for a wave effect and will most likely run them on else mode, and would prefer two wp25's on the lowest setting over two wp10's maxed out.
Thanks,

What size tank do you have?

I have a 55 and 2- 25s on else is too much. I think if I had a controller on each instead of the dual. I could have one on else and the other turned down maybe on constant low flow for a counter current. The adjustable power supply works to slow the else down enough but I am worried about burning out controller that way so I only use it on 24v
Dang thats a bummer you cant control else mode, im not into the wave effect on the surface so i might get two separate controllers.
How do you think two wp10's on else mode would handle a tank this size? (32x24x20)
They need to come out with a wp17.5 haha , reading through some pages of this thread and it looks like a lot of people are looking for flow in between these two sizes.

Doing a little more research on these it looks like I could get away with 1 wp25 for my 75 gallon tank. The one pump would have more flow than both my existing Tunzes combined. My rockwork takes up most of the middle of the tank so I was thinking of setting a wp25 in the front. I may also add a wp10, set on low speed, in the back to make sure no crap settles there. Thoughts? I also noticed that there is a new version of the wp25 labeled fs8000, anyone running this? Finally, are there any other online stores to purchase this from or is everyone getting them from fish street?
