AO had one and is holding it for me.
You can tell him and he can look up a thread by you.
Cool how long has he had it do you know?
Calling him in a few...I only talked thru email from work
Hey i went to AO and wow what a really nice place... tanks were immaculate. All the fish looked happy and healthy. I love that they have all the fish listed on the glass with name, price and date they arrived. Beautiful corals.... man I was so blown away that I forgot to get the Safety Stop... but the fish had been there since th 3rd and looked really healthy so I think I'm good... acclimated for about 3 hours and then fed my fish and put him in.... he's loving life...swimming in and out of all the caves and eating his little heart out... not an inch of rock has been spared his bristle teeth...lol
I'll post in the am if they are up i leave at 5am... lights are out now. Thanks again for all your help....
Sorry for the delay... Work is just ridiculous lately.... I shot a quick video of the tank tonight... it's dirty... just fed... overall everything is going great at the moment. [video=youtube_share;CKTsLS2csH0]http://youtu.be/CKTsLS2csH0[/video]
I was looking into upgrading my pumps... with the Maxspect Gyre XF150. Right now I have my main return mag 9.5, 4 Koralia Nanos, 1 Tunze Turbelle and some movement from a Top Fin 60... total GPH is 4050 for my 90 gallon dt plus a 25 gallon sump and 15 gallon refuge for a total of 130 Gallons... so ~40x turnover... what do you guys think about the 150.. (5000gph)... should I bother to upgrade? It would get me about 1000gph extra, look better than having 5 power heads and most importantly, supposedly no dead spots... What do you guys think?
Thank you...
I think a combination of pumps is the right way to go. The gyre will add a ton of flow and you can probably pull some of the other powerheads. Keep them and see how the gyre performs, and than augment the flow with what you have.
That's kind of what I was thinking because of different corals needing different flow... but I wasn't sure if the Gyre would just overpower anything I put in... if that makes any sense... LOL!
Hey guys, my wife surprised me for my birthday with a few additions. Can someone ID/Verify these...

Hey guys... it's been a couple of weeks since I last posted... Tank is going great... after a water change today I will post some pics...
I have a question about my fuge... it is a separate tank and I have about 2+ inches of sand and I put in a baseball size chunk of chaeto... I also added in some copepods and amphipods... the chaeto died... turned brown and withered away... but now I have all this other stuff growing in there and while I want to go get some more chaeto now that I have a proper light for the fuge.... i am wondering if i should shut down the fuge or clean this stuff out of there or is it beneficial and normal.. here are some pics...

Cyano... that's bad right... should I get it out before I add the Cheato... ? should I disconnect my fuge... will the cyano spread?
Grey... I might take you up on that... LOL!

chaeto dying is a good thing IMOP lol
It means your system is nutrient poor which is a good unless you have a lot of softies in your tank.
Detritus(poop & leftover food) feeds algae most of us don't want to feed algae so if it's dying it means your keeping up with your nutrient export by proper skimming and water changes(detritus removal by siphoning). (found on another forum) and what lighting does it use..
