I'm not aware of any unresolved issues with the Vortechs either, sure some people have problems with them but I've never seen Ecotech not resolve...
I'm not sure I understand how that Octopus reactor is a hang on, or why you would even need a hang on reactor, you just need a feed pump in the tank...
I'm guessing this is it as well, PFO definitely went OOB, although I don't believe they ever even made it to court. There are some people out there...
I have one on my 30 gallon right now. ;D It is turned all the way down of course, but I'm pretty sure you'll want 2 (at least) on a 150. I'm...
Cool looking octopus. Dunno if you read another recent experience with one from another 3reefer, hopefully you can avoid a similar fate....
Is your signature up to date? If so, unless you have a coral directly in front of a powerhead, I wouldn't be concerned with high flow rates because...
Here's another article about kalkwasser that I found helpful. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-01/rhf/index.php Also, if you're thinking of...
Just be aware that your evaporation rates may change with the humidity/temperature changes with the seasons. Because coral growth doesn't tie into...
I'm no expert but your candy cane almost looks like it could be a lobophyllia colony. Either way nice corals, and the care should be pretty much the...
Mine are 4-5" off, seems pretty common. You can really put them at any height you want you just won't be able to keep high light coral as low in the...
There has to be a way to cover the filtration areas so they can't jump back there, maybe use some eggcrate or even some thin acrylic or something?
Yeah it should be fine to pry it off the rock, it might damage it a little but it should recover if your water quality is good. It looks a little...
IMO having visible plumbing inside the tank is much more ugly than an additional powerhead. Just add a powerhead or maybe even just upgrading one of...
I agree tank raised is the way to go, there's already enough strain on the wild caught populations and the tank-raised ones are so easy to find and...
You will get more flow out of larger diameter plumbing on the return. Be aware that by splitting your return you are lowering the overall amount of...
Just to clarify, they are completely different like Schackmel said. Pickling salt is not pickling lime. The salt is just sodium chloride like regular...
I would throw in a couple cerith and a couple trochus snails personally just a couple of each just for variety, different types of snails eat some...
I would just make sure it's eating well, it probably just scratched itself on a rock accidentally or something. Keep an eye on it in case it changes...
Just to clarify, a siphon works on the water level difference not the height of the container. You can put a bucket next to the tank and siphon fill...
It sounds like it should work but that does not sound like a lot of flow for a 4x2x2 tank. You probably want at least 8000 liters per hour of flow in...
