The 1" swirls are only rated @ 1150gph. You can push more through them with a bigger pump but it's not reccomended. you will get premature wear on the motor/linkage and you could also blow an o-ring and fry the motor.

1800-2000gph through a sump designed for a 300g tank is plenty. More flow through sump = Less contact time for skimmer/heater, and more evaporation.

I think your on the right track Brad. 22,000 should do it. 120, 121 whatever it takes................(laugh)

No, he wants to run a reeflo snapper as a return pump to feed 2 1" seaswirls.

Should be just about right as 1" SS's have a max flow of around 1000gph. After all the head losses it should put you right around 900gph each.

run the skimmer in about 6-8" of water and try 1/4" airline.

Nope. Idaho grape is brighter and grows differently. I have both.

Cyanobacteria.

Sorry to rain on the parade........... I'm such a downer!

I switched to Elos about a year ago and haven't looked back. You'll like it. Tip: instead of using 5ml sample and diving the # of drops by 2, just use 2.5ml and each drop = 1dkh. The kit will last twice as long.

SWF has some Salifert kits, but only stocks the best for testing ALK. Elos.

I like led technlogy, you have seen my frags under LEDs. I like em' but I'm waiting for the longevity test period to pass(another year or two) That fixture looks nice but not as powerful as the AI fixture. For the price I would try it out with the mindset that I'll probably upgrade later.

Post the pics sucka!

Yeah, He is an old customer from SWF and I think he got banned from pnwmas too. Caveat Emptor

SP2 = sedra 3500

We can get it for you for the same price @ SWF minus shipping.

Save up some dough and get the MSX200 or even the 250A. Octopus skimmers use the same pump that the bubblemax does so you will have the same problems. You could probably get about $125 for the old one.

Nope. That is the 200g Marineland Deep Dimension. I plumbed that tank. It's turning out really good. Good job!

(SWF had Advanced Plastics build it)

Wanna good read? Google S-15 report. That report is 10 years old and says nothing about H2Ocean.

Hi Roger! Mag supplements aren't cheap. I'd do a 50% W/C with a good salt that has consistent Mg first and add supplements later. What are you using for Mg supplements?
