Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Still have one of those from 10+ years back, seen 4-5 tanks, used regularly (still) for mixing, and is still working as new.
Hope the new ones live up to half that expectation. Probably going to give it a shot - at that price, and with a new manufacturer I'll give it a go.
So, one of my clowns, which seemed perfectly healthy and eating last night, and seemed OK this morning, was on the bottom attracting snails this afternoon, no apparent injuries or visible sickness.

Argh. Tough recovery. If you're in Spring Lake area at any point lemme know, my wife has an acupuncture office and can help reduce pain and inflammation, zero charge for a fellow reefer :)

I really think that this hobby is going to generate home breeders at some point (though Eric has the head start on that (E - Clownfish are doing fantastic!))...
I've used these very often in the past, they're solid. In 10+ years never had a tank overflow and the siphon starts up clean after power outs.
You seem to be looking at the PF300, which is the nano version and you're looking at a complete water turnover about 6x per hour.
Personally I'd jump it...
