    35x water turnover rate too much?

    Altohombre already has a koralia 3 and is thinking of adding another koralia 3 - so he's thinking of having a total of 2- pushing 1700 gph - which would be 30x turnover. On my 55 I have a tunze 6060 and a seio - (not counting the return) - already pushes me over 35x. On a 125 - you could get a...

    What's in the bottom of your tank?

    my 55 had coarse/mix of live sand from the gulf of mexico...after i poured the sand - caught these little fellas in the bottom of the bag The downside tho is I'm pretty sure some non-beneficial hitchers came along - most notably a cirolanid isopod. So i'm thinking in my new 120 tank - will...

    reading that one thread - fijiblue made an interesting comment on how he was going to retro-fit a pair of VHO actinics - because he hated the T5 ones. ::) anyways - back to this thread - I guess maybe my mind just didn't want to believe that a 60 gallon frag tank needed the same kind of...

    new shipment 2/28

    Pcs are not exactly feng's forte so I just figured I would stop in today and help take some pics. He's planning on an LED light display for his corals - so that should be interesting to see (instead of the MH 250/400s). I did not take any pics of his acro/corals as I thought the 2/14 post in...

    Maxijet SureFlow Mod vs Korallia vs Tunze Nano Stream

    I say the main difference is electricity consumed... 20w x 4 maxijets = 80w. 8.5w x 4 koralia = 34w 7w x 4 Tunze = 28w. Over time it could put a dent in your electric bill. Also not sure but maxijets generate some heat into the tank right? So if they push you over that threshold where you...

    School of Yellow Tangs - some "in theory" questions

    So - I saw a post on the for sale forum and I didn't want to hijack it...figured I'd ask the question here. Just how big of a tank is needed to consider having a school of 6 yellow tangs? I assume one has to get all the same size and all introduced at the same time (I'd hate to figure out how...

    Eco Tech Vortech pump Help

    I have the tunze magnet attached to a tunze 6060 -no noise whatsoever. Plus Roger @ tunze is a great cust-focused rep. I don't know whether the tunze magnet can help on the vortech - but if that is something you're thinking of - you could ask roger. I don't know if he'd comment since the PH...

    How important is Protein Skimmer placement?

    Do you have a pic of this sump/fuge conversion? Might be an alternative solution to what you are thinking of - but it'd be easier to come up with if we could see it. Also- instead of getting a new return pump - you could set it up so that the return "T"s and one part goes up to the display and...

    Eva's 90 gal baby

    Yep yep! I think you can just add the LR w/coral attached in if the tank has cycled. The movement of the old LR from the established tank should not suffer too much in the switch. But I personally have never done a move - so others can comment!

    I'd go with 3 110 watt UV (aka URI) VHOs...the third being the actinic one. Go with 48" in a fixture or 46.5 if you do the retro end-cap. The beauty behind these bulbs is that they have a built-in reflector in the bulb itself...one less item to worry about! You may even be able to get away with...

    ahhh...when i read dave's post - it did seem like he was specifically asking about phosban. I just didn't think we had a group buy just for that product. Good to know tho!
