    maxspect gyre or vortech mp40?

    Sorry for the quotes I'm using my sons tablet and it does weird things LOL. I like the gyre so fari have a 150 but I also run 2 mp40s in my 180. I like the way it moves the whole mass of water instead of a cone. Sent from my QMV7A using Tapatalk

    Need help - how long can I go without power?

    Is there anyone in the area that can help your sitter set up an inverter? What do you have in your refugium? If it's a deep sand bed and rock you have to keep that moving to other wise it will also die off if I was closer I would let you borrow my generator. Good luck Sent from my iPhone...

    Rob's time for an upgrade 180

    I believe so, after an initial alk spike I had a pretty hefty phosphate spike where phosphate was as high as 22. I believe this was the main reason for the RTN. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A little update, Tank seems to be doing better alk has stabilized at 8 nitrates are at 10 and phosphate was .09 as of yesterday. I have been doing 20 or 30 gallon water changes every other day or so to bring phosphate and nitrates down and it has been dropping both slowly. Skimmer has settled...

    Skimmer was emptied yesterday morning I thought this could be the problem also but not sure it would have this kind of devastating results. When I took down the 90 nitrate was around 20 yesterday they were 10 I actually set up a timer to skim 12hrs on and 12hrs off and didn't push the button to...

    Can't remember but it was a couple days. Two or three for sure maybe longer. I figured I would test all I could but if nitrite is no concern I will move on to the next variable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks Paul, silicone is GE 1 not 2 so I guess I will eliminate that. Next is the voltage test I think I will also test nitrite to see if there is any sort of cycle going on ammonia read 0 yesterday but I going to test everything I can. I think I will also do a 30 gallon WC tomorrow after...

    Current is a thought I don't feel anything and I have 3 cuts in the past 2 days on my right hand LOL. I will put a tester in the water tomorrow I can't find mine so I will buy a new one. As far a oil tank was washed with vinegar and I have been running carbon. I have to check but will...

    Yea it only happens when the gyre goes into pulse mode so I'm working on the water level in the outside overflow box now to tweak it it's better. As I said at the party when I talk about the flow being a little loud it is still quieter then the derso ever was and I had that pretty quiet...
