    Stuck home for a while

    So I just had cervical spine surgery and will be stuck in the house for a month or so. If anyone else is around during the day send me a message. My tank is doing well. (300 gallon) and we could compare notes and shoot the stuff. :) Chris

    Thinking of getting the maxspect gyre

    I have the 150. It's a great pump but I have to also use a big old Tunze to get the right amount of flow. I've been happy with the unit and when I needed some help Chris was great and things that needed repair were immediately remedied I am waiting to see when the 170 is like. I have a 300...

    gyre 150 broken

    Yeah. Vortech. I'm not putting a ticket in because they say my email is not registered. I refereed the day I got it. Oh well I overnighted new parts. Right now I have it running in true gyre form. Forward then reverse. No where near enough power for my tank. I wish the 170 was out...

    Does anyone still use bio pellets?

    I've been using them for over a year (more?) I have had huge cyano outbreak I'm not sure how much it's helped. I've lowered my food and increased my flow. Also am running lots more carbon. But I've been toying with discontinuing using them. Seems that weekly 50 gallon water changes are...

    I've not seen this before...

    He has been on my tank for over a year. No new things added. It had to be the treatment. I know not scientific but it did hit one of my soft corals hard (kinda sloughed off a layer like a bad burn). And knocked a bunch of hard corals back hard. They are recovering but ce close to losing...

    maxspect gyre or vortech mp40?

    Love my gyre 150. But the 300 Peninsula needs more flow. I have my tunzes (3) in there. The tank is over 8 feet long so I'm looking forward to the release of the 170...

    I've not seen this before...

    So I figured out what the worm was. Not a worm at all. Seems that if you treat for cyano and have a large brittle star they are not a good mix. The worm parts were segments of my large brittle star. He is still alive but barely. Not sure he will make it. Had the bugger for a long...

    I've not seen this before...

    It worked well on my cyano. I've been battling it for a while. Did major water changes -120'gallons over 2 days. Cleaned uph rock and added all my tunzes back. The gyre 150 is just not enough. Anyone know when the 170 is out? :)
