I have questions that need answers.
For flow and power consumption reasons, I'm considering making a change for my main system pump from the PCX-55 to the Reeflo Dart. At first glance, it seems that I may be ?doubling? my flow with an 8' head - and potentially consuming far less wattage. I know the spec for the GENX pump (an Iwaki knockoff as far as I can tell) says something like 170W - but my experience has been more like ~220-240W. Currently, I use the pump to feed a manifold that serves my main tank, my skimmer, my fuge, frag ...
I'm ready to order the overflow but wanted to get some input from some of you guys with more experience. After all I'm really liking the idea provided in one of my earlier blogs about using an MP-40 and maybe adding an MP-10 for flow over my planned use of a snapper hybrid (less electrical use and fewer holes in the tank). I've also just about talked myself into the AI Sol leds because they're more electrically efficient and if they last as long as advertised will be a significant savings in buying ...
Hello All, Suddenly, my Atlantic/Caribbean Blue Tang came down with a bunch of brown marks. They are not round, but irregular shapes. The skin is a little inflamed around each of the marks. They are on both sides of the fish, but more on the side shown below. So far, his appetite and general demeanor are unchanged. A friend provided me this link to common fish diseases: http://www.chucksaddiction.com/disease.html To me, it would appear to be the first "ailment" ...
Hey guys, Real quick. I've been saving up for a set of VorTech MP10wES pumps. However, I have a 4ft. long standard shape 75 gallon tank. I was wondering if two MP10s would provide enough flow? To give a bit more background, I am planning to place the MP10s on the tank's sidewalls. That's why I was thinking I could get away with using two MP10s and then just syncing them to be alternately on and off. Any suggestions? Should I use two MP40s instead? One MP40? As guidance, I would ...
My wife received this gift from her parents last year (or the year before), a Nikon D60. I figured i would put it to good use and have been using these sites, http://www.melevsreef.com/take_great_pictures.html http://www.ximinasphotography.com/lessons/ to try and "learn" photography (i use the term "learn" loosely because thus far have had mixed results). There are a million different settings and combination of settings ...
