Clone those guys John!

Hey Sid - good to hear from you and that you are still able to do the necessary work to keep all the creatures well while you are shut down to the public. Will definitely miss the opportunity to see you this year... at least for our usual summer club meeting. Looking forward to a time you and the Hatfield crew can restart all your educational activities - whenever that may be.

FWIW - there are a fair number of items still available through CoralVue for these, including the older controllers and motor blocks... https://www.coralvue.com/maxspect-advanced-gyre-controller not saying they are cheap or even worth the cost but they are out there. I just had to buy a set of magnet mounts for one of the 250s I picked up.

Good question. If it happens to be a 150 or 250 I wouldn’t mind having the corpse for spares as I just picked up a set of used ones.

Nice setup. That will grow some coral! GLWS

and so it begins...the great paly migration! Be afraid, be very afraid 😁

Nice story - thanks for sharing!

That is a lot of tank for the money. Someone is getting a good deal!

Sold - thanks Jamie 👍

Sent you a PM with address.

Sale pending to Reefrun - will update when sold.

You got it Jamie. Around all weekend if you want to stop by.

Let me know and it’s yours. It is quiet and runs smooth, just decided to try some gyres.

Putting up a used MP40wQD in great shape. This unit is a couple of years old but only used for maybe half that time. Never soaked in vinegar so no need to worry about the magnet. Works great - just decided to go a different direction. I think all the original accessories are there in the box except the mesh cage cover - that gave out a while ago. $200

That might be a first!

Hey Ryan - how did that smart buddie work for you?

Tell him he needs to lay off the steroids... yeeesh.

Did Scott make this? Looks pretty nice! GLWS

Looks like you won the frag lottery Taylor... I need to have a chat with Jorge 😁

Jorge had a nice one for sale recently if you look back for his last classified post - he added it toward the end.

Ohhhh... those are nice! Good thing we didn't sell them at the last $10 frag sale 😃

You just had to show off your polyps didn't you 😃

So the plan is to just straighten out the ruler at the end and instant growth! Hmmm.... not sure about this.

OK.... just snapped a quick pick (apologies in advance John) to get my place in this fun fest secured. Not sure who I'm kidding here given the grow out line up but WTH. Tank - 125 display with approx. 100 plus pounds of live rock, sump with filter socks, aquamax ConeS3 skimmer, separate refugium with deep sand bed, live rock and cheato (approx. 40 total additional gallons of water). Flow - return pump about 6000 liters per hour with rotating outlets plus two xf250 gyres in inverse gradual pulse mode Paramater control - large CA reactor running off carbon doser regulator with pH control. Occasional dosing of Mg, trace elements, Fuel based on testing/observation. Levels - Ca 430, Mg 1290, Alk 9.3, NO3 4-8, PO3 0.1-0.12 Automation - not a lot, running a old aquatronica controller to measure temp, pH, ORP, salinity, levels but mostly just failsafes other than reactor. Lighting - three ReeFi duo extremes (thank you Daniel!) running default programming (plus a bit of added lime at peak). Lights about 13 inches off water. Frag position - on frag rack at end of tank about 8 inches below surface. PAR about 250 or so (almost all blue). Still getting tank adjusted to the new lights so overall PAR a bit lower than I ultimately will run... oh well.

Yeah - sorry. Turns out I also wasn’t able to be on the forum for this.
