yup

a tunze magnet wouldnt work on a vortech anyway since the vortec motor is the magnet. If these are new vortechs, give them time. They have a break in period. Everytime I clean mine they make some noise for a day or two. Very very slight adjustments of the outside magnet and then letting them run...

whats your opinion of glass cages. I thinking of an upgrade and they are a candidate. Any close of pics of silicone, edges, overflows? Thanks

forgot to add that I would run it through a reactor given the choice

imo, ozone is not worth the risks and headaches (literally). If the system is large and heavily stocked than go for it. I ran it on my system for about a month and didnt notice any difference other than the smell in the house.

I can reach the bottom with long grabbers without getting my shoulders wet; I have worn a snorkel just to see what I am doing when placing corals though. It is extremely difficult to trim back coral growth in a tank this deep as I can only reach by hand about a 1/3 of the way down. Like any...

yes thanks, it seems we are always adding to and altering them. here are some older pics

Yes it is certainly a dream come true to be part of such awesome reef systems (I also maintain a 29 foot long 2200 gallon reef at Hackensack University Medical Center built by the same company).

1 cup of pelletized carbon and changed once a week

looking good wendy

why dont you put the sponge back and eliminate the bio balls if you want to reduce nitrates. Rinse the sponge once a week and your good

prices are gonna be higher when he realizes that a helfrichi left the store for less than he paid

My PM reactor chamber only gets white up to the pump intake not all the way to the top. The deltecs take alot of stirring to get that white.

your routine sounds pretty good. Keep up with the blasting and heavy skimming. It will, like rich said, certainly test your patience but it will eventually starve off. The only animals I have ever seen that eat bryopsis with regularity are lettuce nudibranchs. Depending on how much bryopsis you...
