BZZZZ, Zapped by my Koralia

[CodyW]

Transferred tanks today, everything was looking smooth. I took my koralia's out of my current tank and put them in the new tank, went to re-arrange the live rock and I got zapped, I mean zapped bad enough to have to sit down for a little. Got it from marine depot a few months ago, going to call them in the morning.

I think I did a post about this awhile back where those where recalled.

hydor koralia

there is a recall on the #2 and #3 powerheads

[CodyW]

Certain batches were recalled, I never heard anything about the ones I got though.

[geekdafied]

From what he said, it was all #2 and #3

[geekdafied]

people were getting shocked, you got shocked, do the math, hahaha

[CodyW]

I never heard of anyone getting shocked, so maybe others hadn't either and now they'll check to make sure. Still like these pumps, now it just depends on their customer service at hydor.

I put 2 620's in a 75g tank, and its cool to watch them.

The reason for the recall was shocks.

I personally consider their customer service excellent thus far (even though I don't own one yet).

They are going on the Johnson and Johnson Tylenol Scare method. I.e. We don't care how much it costs, we're recalling every single #2 or 3 until this is fixed. It cost J&J a fortune and I can guarantee you that this is costing them a fortune. However, J&J still exists because of their proactive actions and a side result was actually MORE faith in the company instead of less.
