Pump problem

Are you sure the ribbon cable between the AquaStream controller and the Aquaero is connected? Do you have power connections on both the AquaStream controller and Aquaero or just the Aquaero? You should only have a power connection on the Aquaero and the ribbon cable passes the power to the AquaStream controller (which is where the AquaStream plugs in). That is the only way I could see it not working.
Dou you have the right version of the AE<->AS bridge-cable? There are two and you will need the cable for revision 1.5 and above.
You could check the cable with a multimeter. Sometimes the plugs are not fully squashed and a single wire is disconnected.
Have you upgraded to OS 2.03 and firmware 4.05? If not you should do that because there were a lot of problems with the old firmware 3.99 in touch with the Aquastream.

Have you tried to reconnect the AS<=>AE cable?
And right now you are using the new firmware 4.05e on your Aquaero
It was connected green first, but when I connect as shown in the pic, the Aqua goes in to factory test mode and and gives an EEPROM failure? I did not see firmware 4.05e on the download page.
You can find it under support => download.theseeker said:
Just click here and you get all necessary. Especially in your case you should really disconnect everything as stated in the updating guide.
In my opinion it doesn't matter if it is a problem with the firmware or the pump itself. You should update anyway because the new software is much more better. Here you can get a quick overview of all the new features.
You could check the wiring of your flowmeter with this drawing:
That's my configuration and it works.
Note: you are looking at the back of the Aquaero. And don't get confused with the numbering of the pins, they are different from the manual.

I dissconnected the flow sensor just to see if that might be causing a problem. Nothing has changed.

If you can't fix it, you could always remove the pump from the back of the Aquabay and invest in a fill tank, like the AquaInlet. That attaches directly to the intake of the pump (any Eheim 1046 or 1048 pump) and makes filling and bleeding a breeze.
How many blocks are on your loop? From the first picture it looks like you have almost no flow. The water should be swishing against the cover of the aquatube and hitting the top of the circle (opening).
Have you tried to run the aquastream with only the controller and not the aquaero? Do you get any different results?
As for the noise level, the pump is silent once any air is out of the loop. The only thing I hear is my power supply fans at this point with all radiator fans running at 6volts.
As for the sensor problems and such, I think the Aquaero is bad.

Shoggy said:No, that won't help. The AE<=>AS bridge doesn't alter the voltage.
Hehe, think about it: the AS was already connected or how should I know about the 12.7 volt?
Right, but I cannot find a way to change the voltage in the aquaero.
I also think my flow sensor is bad.
Now wait a minute! Didn't this whole system work properly before you got it?
Something isn't correctly hooked up or there is something going on that no one is aware of. Did you clean the XT block before installing it? What is the pump frequency set at in the Aquaero? What PSU are you using? Have you tried a different PSU? We need to get back to basics to problem solve here
