fwiw i also had a gyre 150 on the tank when it first came out (before the 130 was available) but it was way too much flow on any setting other then the lowest. with the 130 i am able to pulse the flow and get some wave action.
i have one in my 40 breeder and am very happy. i have it mounted vertically on a back corner and power is cranked half way. i had it mounted horizontally but prefer it vertically with my current rock work.
if you have a fuge you can get a chocolate chip starfish and cut a leg or two off and keep them growing in the fuge, you can add to the display as needed without the worry of the starfish eating coral
I just increased my total water volume by adding a frag tank, water change tank, and fuge onto my system so I had to upgrade my skimmer. This skimmer works great and is all cleaned up and ready for your tank.
Coralvue recommends this skimmer for the following:

Before i start another diy project does anyone have any brine shrimp hatching equipment for sale?
I'd prefer to purchase this aqua breeder hatchery below. PM me with a price and your location.
I am in central jersey but travel north often.
If you decide to go the diy route I wouldn't mind helping you. I run my blues at 700ma and uv and moonlight at 350ma and use a storm x to turn up the controller percentage. An led run at 700ma and 100% will run cooler and last longer than an led run at 1000ma and 50%. Btw rapidled and...
I followed them closely on the manhattan reefs forum and did not like their lighting system. They never answered questions I had regarding the type of leds (brand or color) they used. I don't see them lasting long enclosed like that regardless of the heatsink or if they are cheap tape leds, or...
just ordered a couple things online to build my own majano wand. total cost $16 not including the 12v 1A dc adapter and tubing/pvc i have laying around.
Has anyone in the club used a majano wand or high powered laser to kill aiptasia? I've seen the videos on youtube and other forums and have heard stories but wanted to know if anyone local has personally used them or witnessed them in action.
I am aware of the other removal methods using...
I picked this up the first week of December and never ran it over the lowest setting. I have a 40 breeder and even though the flow was nice I couldn't do any of the fun stuff like pulse mode cause the current was too strong. I was able to get a smaller xf-130 so this is for sale.
Nothing...
I originally had flex pvc as my drain line from my tank to my sump but it was causing surging and many issues so I changed it to hard pvc and I couldn't be happier. I have about 10 feet of horizontal distance between my tank and my filter room and getting the pitch was a lot easier with the...
