    Need thoughts on cylinder tank

    OK, call me insane, but I might have a deal on a cylinder tank that I can not refuse. I already have a 450 reef and the new tank would be "in addition to" and not a "replacement". The new tank supposedly would come with everything needed as it has been on public display in the past at one of...

    Whats your worst Reef Experience??

    Got a couple of good ones. First, flooding the room with skimmate by leaving the drain valve open after cleaning, smelled great, wife not too pleased. The second was potentially more horrific. While getting ready to go out one weekend evening, I started to smell a smoky, burning plastic type...

    Vortech Pump

    As far as the battery back-up is considered, do we even have any details on it including price? You can get a UPS that will perform the same function and just plug the Tunze into that if you want. Kind of hard to make any comparison's right now since this is all based on promises with no history.

    Vortech Pump

    Dapper Dan - I don't use any of the add-ons you listed so they are pretty much equal as far as costs for my application and exchange rate does matter in the context for which it was intended and that is profit margin between the two companies. Who knows really, doesn't matter as long as they...

    Vortech Pump

    Yea, at $200 per, I might think about it. But, sitting here with two Tunze 6100's with Controller already and a spare Sequence 5800 gph pump, I can add two 6100's (or 6200's) to my system for much less or buy an OM four way for another CL. My tank is already drilled for an additional CL. I...

    Vortech Pump

    They must be hoping for a slew of "gatta have its" because that is mighty hefty compared to Tunze which has to figure the exchange rate into the picture adn should be more expensive because of that. They either can't get the manufacturing pricing down or they are pocketing a bigger %. Myself...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    L-93, I think it is a common trait with the Beckett's, at least with the MRC. I have an MR-4 that is now sitting empty, unused becasuse it was so hard to clean because of just that. The main reaction chamber would get coated. Just cleaning the cup and riser tube was never an option. If the...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Andy - I am not going to go back and forth, but that was a quote if you recall when I suggested one of the Becketts might be for the recirc pump and one for the feed pump. I got absolutely NO feedback with anything like "we are working on something along those lines and will get back with you."...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    The recirc Beckett from Andy should be interesting. I asked him two months ago about modding the MR4 I bought about a year ago and all he responded with via e-mail was "interesting", no suggestions or anything. That really turned me off and was the deciding factor in getting my Deltec. Not...

    A few new fish pics

    So far, so good. The fish arrived in great shape and are eating. That is about all I could have asked for with respect to an on-line fish vendor. Mike

    A few new fish pics

    The Tusk is about three inches long and very shy. I have had it a few months and so far I haven'y really seen it go after anythinf but flake and prime reef/brine. Don't have any shrimp so that wasn't a problem. Mike

    A few new fish pics

    Little bit of a flashback, needed some more coffee, the 1 year old decided to stay up half the night screaming. Ed, it is in my reef and I have not seen it nip at anything besides one small SPS. It was a single nip and moved on just like my Imperator does. The fish has only been in the tank a...

    A few new fish pics

    Well, then, I apologize. I just read too much into the post. I tend to do that sometimes. I am glad to hear about the 7-11 calendar becuase I am looking for one as well, will have to stop by the 7-11 on the way home. I got a free calander from Chris at Rm, but it got soaked when the...

    I may be reading the sarcasm into it and, if so, I apologize. If not, well, then, I don't apologize one bit. :D

    A few new fish pics

    Nice sarcasm. Just so happens that some people wanted to see pics of these as they are looking into acquiring them themselves and wanted to see the quality from this vendor. If you are that satisfied with your calendar, I will send you a couple with some nice reef pics and you can send me...

    A few new fish pics

    It's eating Brine, Prime Reef and Flake(Believe it or not) now. It's only been in the tank a a few days so I am still treating it with kid gloves, but it is not getting chased by any tank mates and is eating well so I can't complain too much. It is also picking at the rock and one small LPS...
