@@MileHighReefer you’ll have to look up the error code. Can’t remember if I mentioned E7 in the video or not. There is one error code that is for low flow. Basically, there needs to be detectable flow around the heating elements or you get an error. I added a powerhead to my sump to manage this.

I stupidly believed the Maxspect marketing lie that its Gyre 350s are near silent and bought a pair. I can clearly hear them kicking in and out from 10m away when set at just 50%. One of them seized after 5 months ! My tank is in a living area so I might just ditch the Maxspects and buy some Jecod DMP 40s

TSA is more expensive for the size, but packaged things better and shipped smoother. Tidal had better prices and their frags had gray bugs all over them, but that can happen to any coral farm. Can’t kill every pest. Ultimately it’s too small of a sample size for me to say for sure, but I’d buy from TSA again, I think.

"sole pursuit of profit" That's it right there. It's not capitalism. Very few individual business owners act this way. But the collectivism of capitalism..."the market", where everything is funded and controlled by institutional investor conglomerates results in a situation where it's not enough to simply make profit...the business must make every single last penny of profit theoretically possible, regardless of the consequences. So many business were founded by good people and offered good value to the customers making 99 cents of profit and then turned into absolute terrible companies trying to make the last 1 cent of the dollar.
