biggest reason I wanted the vortechs was because I dont want to have a big bulky pump in the tank, but I might have to end up getting the tunze pumps

Im thinking about loosing my 4 koralia 4s and going with 2 vortechs. My biggest progblem is that my tank is in wall and I only have 2" of clearnace on each side of the tank. One side is a closet with just 1 peice of sheet rock dividing it so that side is no biggy, the other side is an actual...

I dont know everything off the top of my head but I know everything has been in check. Regular water changes with RO water and everything else in the tank is doing fine. I have had the coral in there for about a 3 weeks

came home froma day trip in wildwood and I come home to this...when I got home I noticed that some how it got moved and was touching the peice of LR next to it and it looks like that is where the dying happened from. There is no aptasia or anything like that nor have I noticed any fish picking...

mag 18 is what a few are using here and said they are having good results. The have messed with the air control right now it is fully open and it does not look like crazy amounts of air in there. If I turn it down it mellows out a lot and doesnt make enough air

I dont think Im skimming very well at all out of my skimmer. I bought it used to I know it has the older becketts but the skimmer wa in great shape. My tank has been up and running for a few months and I have no even come close to filling a 5gal bucket with skimmate yet. I ran the water level at...

what light order are you running right now?

I know if you do MH you loose the shimmer, but I have also heard with bright t5s and a lot of surface water movement you can still get shimmer with t5s. I guess my biggest things are heat, I love the shimmer I have now, but I want to do the all around best

heat was my biggest concern as my 180 is in my room so I really would like to stay away from a chiller. I keep the room at 70* year long and the tank now stays nice and cool. As for flow personally I would like alittle more but some people feel I have more than enough (4 koralia 4s, snapper...

Im thinking about changing up my lighting a bit now that I am getting into SPS. Im kinda partial to metal halides but I see a lot of people are having awesome succes with t5s and of course they are a lot cheaper. Im really looking to get some fast growth and great colors. Let me know some of...

what about electrical flex pvc, the gray stuff?? would that work and be safe for salt and possibly ozone?

bump

yeah i saw that the other day, thinking about getting a few myself but the controller is expensive and only being able to control 2 didnt turn me on...

ive never seen actual flex pvc, ive only seen the vinyl stuff with pvc webbing in it or whatever for strength

does direct drive or magnetic have any affect on noise? I got a reeflo snapper and the pump itself is quiet but it still seems noisey when hooked up to all the plumbing. Im going to switch out all of my plumbing to pretty much all flex pipe and see if that helps. I just want something quiet like...

Need to get a few feet of it. I know AO has everything but 2", a pond dealer I go to usually has 2" in stock but dont really feel like making the trip 30-40mintues for it. wondering if someone close to middletown has it, maybe a pool supply?

Pretty sure it is both. Id rather keep it outside the skimmer, but I dont know how much room Ill have for other stuff underneath the tank with the skimmer out

I picked up an adhi 60 sump, it has a first chamber, 2nd chamber could be used as a refugium or something else, filter pad and then the 3rd chamber. I have my mr-2 in the first chamber which is pretty tight. Should I have the return of the sump dump back into the first chamber or into the 2nd...

will from AO just ordered be a sequence tarpon, i think this should do the trick
