swirlerstein (Mine)

[bradreef]

Ok So Todd built me a swirlerstein, No, dont bother him to build you one he doesn't have time. really cool. I am really impressed with how these things work. I have a mjmod hooked up to it and a 6000 stream with controller on the other side of my tank. This along with my return and I am getting really good flow.

Here is the first vid (sorry the tank is stirred up a bit)

Way cool! All that on a 75?

 

[bradreef]

top surface of my tank. You can see the random flow.

 

[bradreef]

O yes all on a 75. I am going to do the bigger kit on my mj because it need to be rebuilt anyways. I just need to stop by Ocean reef Aquatics to pick one up. I have to seio's lying around and I will probably add one to the back bottom shooting accross the tank to not let anything settle behind the rock.

Thats pimp!

the only thing I would rather have is a wavysea+ but I saved 300+ dollars doing this.

Brad you can easily have that type of set-up controlling two powerheads with one motor in line on the back of the tank really simple. Think windshield wipers.

If you decide to let me know. I have some 3/8 acrylic rods with ball joint pivots already installed. They were made for a 4ft tank and just sitting in my attic.

That's really cool Brad! Thanks for sharing

krish one of these doing a 180 in the back middle of your tank.

ROFL! That would be insane! I though about getting these puppies http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merc...Product_Code=FC-WV-B&Category_Code=Wavemaking but said I'd better not(LOL) I already had to "Y" 2 outputs after adding in that other pump because the flow was too intense in there. The surface aggitation is still un-real as it is! That's a really neat mod though...

 

[bradreef]

those wavysea's have a tunze stream adapter now. that would be awesome in your tank.

ROFL! I think you are almost as bad as me with your thinking on flow The sad thing is that would be something I'd probably do:shock:

 

[bradreef]

do it do it. flow is key in SPS.

 

[Krish]

ROFL! Without headloss or frictional loss I'm turning over my tanks volume of water over 100 times!

 

[bradreef]

100X is great. sounds like the making of a totm.

 

[Krish]

ROFL! Not yet...I'm shooting for 200X
