Ha... never mind. Just saw you asking question in the Vertx club thread. I dig Mojo over there. He has been a huge help to me getting skimmers.
I was just looking to see what you decided. Personally I can't even believe you run that tank with a EV-120. Do you read Reef Central? Lots of info...
Mag 7 is 1/2...Mag 9.5 is 3/4" discharge. An Eheim 1260 is what you need. Compare apples to apples. A 1260 is the Mag 7 equivelent. Eheims use les...
Algae feed off nitrate. How old is your tank and do you do water changes? Those bubbles are nitrogen produces in the nitrogen cycle. It's good, but...
Don't they have a smaller In-80???
24 hrs. [IMG] Running good. Nice and quiet.
I've heard nothing but good things about the Vertex IN series. Well designed and they have a lot to offer for a very reasonable price. Good to see...
Bacteria is what breaks down waste. They will grow enough for what ever bio load is maintaining them. LR is all that is needed for that. The...
K values are mis leading. Phoenix's 14k is closer to 20K. Some 14K bulbs are closer to 10K. It is not real accurate. I went with Phoenix because so...
Oh ya, I got thing working better. Raised it a bit. It's pulling 900 lph right now. Time to get my hands out of the water and let it run.
I'm not one to think in terms of numbers. Perhaps I was not at the limit of the 160, in which case all I have bought is more head room. Skimmers only...
;D Perhaps a Lexus parked next to a Bentley would ruffle fewer feathers;D
Ummmm.... honestly, I'm not sure. The original complaint was a glue joint not correct/excessive with pics. But that is not on mine. Looks great to...
In a reef tank, the LR is the bio filter, and the skimmer is the waste removal. I don't hate W/D like some, but they really are not needed in a reef...
Dude... exactly! Mine really brought the others out. They all seem so much more active now.
I can go on about BKs, but seriously build is not performance. BKs are very well designed and perform very well. I got that one cheap, I would never...
The BK 160 pulls 600 lph of air. The K2 does 1100 lph. So no, I don't think the BK will out perform the K2. I'm just saying the BK is a flippin' work...
I considered that. But I'm borderline where I'm at. The things I have done have lost so much heat I now need a heater to maintain temp when the...
Looking good Zack. How are you liking your Anthia. I really liked the addition of mine.
It actually only came down to size. The 840 is not that much better than the Mini 160 numbers wise. A 1050 is too big for my 90g. The K2 is in the...
