As far as I read TH blue line and panworld are exactly the same pump. Blue line is just rebadged. So cheaper is better in this case.
The sicce has me looking as well but this will only handle my DT. All of my other equipment will be run from a seperate pump. I like the idea of a dedicated DT...
So I need some input here. I have a couple more days to figure this out before the PA buy ends. I am going with a external pump for my 180G and need some opinions.
I am currently crossed between the:
PanWorld NH-150PS

and the...
Anybody here use it? I'm considering it since I'm gonna have a good amount of flow. And like usual PA is out of Reef Flakes. So looking for some thoughts on this stuff.
I'm gonna have a dedicated pump only for the DT. External so while I will have ball valves to adjust down a bit if needed I can just turn on and off the pump. All I would need to be concerned with during that time is drain back which may be substantial due to the length of plumbing so I'll have...
The rock itself is not very dense at all. And the more I think about it the more I think I'm actually just gonna use my existing rock. I still have all of the rock I used in my 90 and most of it is in my sump, some still had corals attached so that in the frag tank. A little bit was left out and...
I have mine on my manifold. Mainly cause I didn't want the extra pumps. Never had any issues but to be honest I can remember the last time I had either carbon or GFO in them. They basically sit there empty.
No soaking. This stuff is super clean. Just a little rinse to shake the dust off is all. I have pieces that are a few years old now and not one has ever had any unwanted anything. I did my 90 and mine and my sons nano with it. Great stuff.
A rough estimate on system volume between the 180g DT...
I'm afraid to do that. See it all the time, and while I'm sure it would work with my luck he would go right through.
Yep this will all get plumbed to the basement. I'm almost def using reef rocks for this build as I did with my 90 when that was up. Just gotta find it first and the only...
Never thought a tank could weigh so much. But it's in the house and of course while I was at the hidden reef I forgot to pick up the megaflow plumbing kit so now I have to head back this weekend.
Rocks and sand are next up of Ultra Corals ever decides to get back to me. :)
Marco Rock?
I have yet to see this rock not leach for a long time after using. A friend of mine used all Marco and had cyano and hair algae out the wazoo. He pulled it all and re cured it. Added back to his tank and once again same problems. It wasn't until that rock was bleached and vinegared...
180 it is. I've tossed this around for quite some time and while it would be awesome to have that 300DD I just can't justify it to myself, much less my wife.
