What you really need is the TK421 mod on your system.  

I have the RR pikachu frag that looks EXACTLY like this one. $75.  I can post a picture if you desire.  Settled in nicely and starting to encrust

You should have let me know we just gave away 9 of them.

I need some!!  Sent a PM. 

Man you came along at the right time!  

Jeff gets Tropic Marin in stock.  Saturday morning....

I watched a youtube video last night on it.  Seems pretty legit, especially their high purity cirium oxide.  I do know it is important to keep the polisher parallel to the surface to avoid getting swirl marks.  Hope it works out for you!  

once you get it set up and running and are comfortable. I would advise digging a little deeper and setting up various controls and alarms and what not that are not as obvious. 

Having a 30" deep tank means never having to take a shower. 

Before glass owners get all excited... you will have to drain the tank to get the scratches out.  

So... call it a "slight" inconvenience.

yeah, if it works that would be awesome sauce! 

Removing negative feedback is seriously  BS in my mind.  Yeah, things can get ugly but it is important to know how vendors react to negative critisicm.  I am not into overtly flaming someone because, like the bumper sticker says..[language filter] happens.  But there have been several cases where i posted interest in something that someone here was posting and my cell was blowing up saying " dont trust that dude". I appreciate those members looking out for me but maybe instead of just banning him he should have been shamed.

I had a few scratches in my old tank.  Used cirium oxide, lapidary paste and some expensive diamond polishing paste.  With a power buffer i spent 2.5 hours polishing it and in the end.... it didn't do a god [language filter] thing. 

First and last glass tank for me. 

I could build you a custom frag tank...  partial payment in frags..? 

That tank is sexy as hell.  Ok, i may be a tad biased.

You can buy an almost identical unit on better websites, they just cost $1,100.  Which is ridiculous.

I'm using two desk lamps with 5k flood lights so I can't have anything too crazy.  

Ask your doctor if ricordia are right for you. 

Well, if your going to due it you might as well have it be effective

These are the same units you see at cuttle fish

What?? Are you all hiring?

Not for the drone team specifically.  Most of our pilots are engineers, surveyors, or natural resources (me).  😞

BTW, flying drones for work is generally stressful as hell.   There always seems to be something happening.  

I have been running of these since I set up my tank and after suffering a velvet outbreak I bought another unit in January to really really sterilize my tank.   Even with 700 gallons, 220 watts of UV is totally overkill.   This is not your little "twistie" UV system with a 20 watt bulb.  This is a twin tube/ 55 watt bulb high dwell time UV unit.  It can achieve level 2 treatment on tanks up to 600 gallons given the recommendations on flow rate and tank overturn.   If you have a decent size tank, this is a great way to control outbreaks. 

After running tanks with and without UV I don't think I will go back to not utilizing them.  Water born algae, viruses, parasites, hormones, and other organic compounds get chewed up pretty quickly with this thing.  Preventing disease outbreak, coral warfare, diatoms, etc etc etc are all things that a UV unit can do. 

here is a link to the unit I have https://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/TMCUVSterilizer.html#cart

There are also lots of info on UV systems, flow rates, turn over times, etc.  

The System has been running for 3 months and bulbs generally last 18 months.  So you are good for awhile.  

Looking to get $300. 

Thanks

You still looking for phantoms?   Our drone department might be switching out all our drones...? 

BRO....  why you slumming?   Monti cap?  Really? 

I think we need to stage an intervention.

How is everyone running these roll filters with single inputs when we've all got 2 or 3 drain lines?

We science the [language filter] out of it. 

No, it is not that stupid. 

Yeti bucket.  That is pretty funny though.  That is what i need in my life, worrying about scratching up a plastic bucket. 

Petco has instant ocean for $40 delivered right now.
