    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Nice, thanks mojo. The only question I have is, how are the boxes attached to the tank? Will I have to drain the tank in order to glue them in?

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Kirsh, I am totally at a loss for words. Your tanks are absolutely amazing. You have some awesome skills there. Thanks again for the info and for the pictures. You have me thinking about changing a few things in all my tanks. I've been looking for an excuse to redo my Biocube 14 and I think...

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    LOL, Thanks Krish. Every penny counts. Didn't think of sand storms. I can definitely see the detritus building up in my 125 FOWLR. It has a BB and you can see it all. I need to get more flow in there to. I'll have to point the power heads down to the bottom and get it stirred up so I can...

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Thanks again Skimmy, :) That sounds like it was an interesting set up. I like the idea of switching back and forth. That must of been on heck of a current. If I had an in wall tank, I would seriously consider doing something like that. I'll have to play with a simple cl and probably...

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Hi Mike, Thanks for your input. :) I hadn't considered doing something like towers and then have locline coming form them. That could be a fun project to do. The tubes along the bottom would be hidden for sure with my rockscape. When I started my build a year and a half ago, I had no idea...

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Hi Skimmy, Thanks for your feed back. Yeah, definitely expensive, shoot, just about everything in this hobby is. LOL I guess I wouldn't mind the expense (same goes for the vortex) if they do what I would like them to do. I've never had a cl before and I'm not happy with the...

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Thanks Frank. Yeah, I'm getting that feeling. I might just have to take you up on your offer to borrow your pump, get some pvc, and make a CL and see what it does. If it works better than the power heads, I'll keep it up, give you your pump back and get my own pump. Besides, I like to think...

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Hi krish, thanks for your feed back. I guess what I'm looking for is something to get the detritus suspended for filtration (less nitrates and phos) and provide the flow needed for future sps. I have flow that blows the food around but the detritus just sits there.

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Hi Chichas01, thanks. I like the less electricity part. :)

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    LOL Thanks 07FocusST, if I go that route I'll keep you in mind. From what I've been reading, the Reeflo Dart is a pretty decent pump. Do yo think you get better flow/circulation with the CL?

    Gimmito 450 gal L-shaped display

    Nice build. :) I'm tagging along for more good ideas. Thanks Frank. I like the rockscape and the pluming too.

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Hi All, Which system offers better flow characteristics given the same gph, closed loop or power heads? I have 3 power heads, a koralia 4 (1200 gph at 12w), a Koralia Evolution (1400 gph at 6w), and a Sicce 4 (1600 gph at 14w) in my 180 and was looking at replacing them with a CL system...

    Does an established tank have ich?

    I agree. I don't have any pictures of that moment but I do have a picture or two I could post but I was threatened with bodily harm if I did. :)

    Oh definitely the first one. :D Unfortunately, there were no pictures. :( Thanks again buddy.

    Does an established tank have ich?

    Hi Frank, Thanks again for your help with moving them and getting the tank set up. It made my life easier. :) I have them on a daily feeding schedule of either mush, mysis shrimp soaked in vita chem, or marine cuisine. I've also given them some live black worms to eat. All but the yellow...

    Does an established tank have ich?

    Thanks Frank, Already on it. :) I've been feeding them either mush, marine cuisine, or mysis shrimp soaked in vita chem every day. Green and purple algae have been going in and I've fed them live black worms a couple of times. All of them except the yellow tang like the worms. He...

    Does an established tank have ich?

    That's how I have my 29g get set up. A sponge filter and some pvc fittings. I did put a small tray of sand in the tank for a Diamond sifter when he went through qt and did the same thing for a new Christmas wrasse as well. I dumped the sand afterward.
