I love it!

Thanks for the link, Phil. Decisions, decisions. Right now I'm leaning towards the Vortechs (subject to change without notice), mostly because of the smaller size.

Demo: On RC and elsewhere, I've read of some people saying their Vortechs were noisy, and some had rust issues. The noise issue, while very subjective, could be due to the two parts not being perfectly aligned, from what I've read. Ecotech has recently made some changes to address the rust...

I could use some advice on getting better flow in my 90. I don't have much livestock in the tank yet, just a bunch of snails, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 coral beauty, 2 zoo rocks and 2 frags (a leather, and something else). Eventually, I expect it to be a mixed reef with a little bit of everything...

Thanks for the answers about the red stuff and the pics!

Thanks for the quick replies. I have a couple of patches of the stuff, I'll keep an eye on it. How did you make the pic larger? What do I need to do? Thanks.

Rookie question... I got a load of LR this week... finally. I'm still trying to figure out how to make a pile of rocks not look so much like a pile of rocks, but I suppose that comes with practice. My questions for now are, what is this red stuff, and do I want it? I couldn't find it in my...

I just gently let the bit make contact with the glass holding at a 45 degree angle until it went through, Then I straightened up and slowly made the cut all the way around. I'm still surprised how easy it was. Not sure why my pictures are so small. They're much larger when I view them in the...

With recent posts about drilling holes, I thought I would share my experience from this weekend. I admit that I was very skeptical about drilling holes myself, and even more skeptical about cutting them with a Rotozip tile bit. Well, I found myself in need of some holes, and I've been looking...

Euro-Reef was on my short list for while, but I think the higher cost is what made me look closer at the others. The argument could be made that it's not THAT much more money, but I have to draw the line somewhere. The MRC looks interesting as well, but to be honest the history of the previous...

Thank you all for the warm welcome and opinions! Is the break-in/tuning period of EVs significantly more of a pain than other skimmers? I've seen this mentioned before, and I'm not sure it's something I should really be worried about. I don't mind a little tweaking (I have tools and I'm not...

Hi Folks, I’m another newbie here on njreefers. I’ve done a lot of reading and lurking, but still have some questions, so I hope you don’t mind. It seems there’s never just one correct answer to many reef questions. I guess that’s good – it gives you options, but can also be confusing. Anyway...
