    Hey everyone, as trade/pay for turning my friends tank around (some may remember me posting about a 375 gallon that didnt have coraline algae after 10 years) i got some corals and a pump this past weekend. Ive just started working on the tank and have a long way to go but im making progress. Anyway heres what i got over the weekend.

    I go out of town a lot...write it all down! if it's only for a week then you're ok you can so a water change when you get home(if needed) . tell them to not overflow the top-off water...really messes with the SG ;D then you have to explain mixing salt with water to them :lol:

    Very cool, like to hear what you think of the Vortech. These all going in your tank?

    Also did the two of you ever come up with how to measure your sucess? Good luck!

    if u seen the tank, coraline would be a success. nitrates and phosphates at 0, i bought 2 tunze 6101 and a tunze 7095 controller and a spectra meter 3 automatic water changer and tons of little stuff. carbon, phosphate removing media, heater, pumps, tropic marin salt, all kinds of crap. im gonna try to take pix soon

    Don't worry. You won't have any problems with the Vortech. That's one nice pump. ;D
