It's a SAVE methode.... you would like to maintain predominantly SPS and unusual and rare fish .... there I would always choose the SAVE way.

Very true. I dont want to have a rare and expensive fish soup!!!!
Thanks for the help and advice!!

Your welcome Michael .... I would invest the saved money rather in a Skimmer bomb as for example a Red-Dragon ® Bubble-King ® – Skimmer or comparably good ones. For SPS dominated aquariums one never is able to overskimming.

You running your powerheads on any sort of wavemaker Mike? Whatcha using?

michael_cb_125 · 02-17-2008, 03:50 PM

Yeah I have the Koralias and the Tunze powerheads on an Aqua-Controller Jr.
I guess I will see how they work together.

framerguy · 02-17-2008, 09:43 PM

Michael, do the Tunze powerheads pop when they turn on with the controller? My korallias do with mine and was just wondering.

I dont know about his but my tunze 6101s are dead silent on a controller.

michael_cb_125 · 02-18-2008, 07:05 AM

I actually dont have the controller programmed yet. Its a little confusing. I guess I just need to sit down with it for a few hours.

I don't know why but mine don't "Pop" at all. Maybe it's because they are the "Nano" Koralias and their pop is too faint to hear?

Michael what are you having problems with buddy? I can try to help. I'm no expert but I figured out that once I have one part of the program "learned" the others were simple. I haven't done anything with mine i a while but I think I could look at my program and remember again fairly easily. Maybe!!

michael_cb_125 · 02-18-2008, 09:48 AM

Thanks Allen.
Once I find time to sit down with it again I will let you know what exactly I am having problems with. Basically I just did not understand what to do overall. But I was surrounded by by little brothers friends so concentrating was not an option.

BigAl07 · 02-18-2008, 09:50 AM

I understand that. Initially it didn't "make sense" to me. I even called a local friend saying "I think I am missing some of the instructions or something. It just doesn't make much sense to me." He sat down with me for about 10 minutes and it made sense after that. I wasn't missing instructions I was missing the POINT!

Get "alone" with it and experiment with it. Once you get the first part down it goes easy from there.

michael_cb_125 · 02-18-2008, 09:51 AM

Well, all of my Live Rock will be here either Wed. or Thur.
I cant remember. Also my Marco ROck will arrive The same day. So later this week I will have some fun with some rock. My friends look at me like Im crazy when I say "I cant do anything later this week, I got a shipment of rock coming in".
Then I explain what it is, they still look at me like Im crazy!!

Dentoid · 02-18-2008, 10:46 AM

That "pop" may be because these pumps do not have a soft start. I have heard that they wear out quicker when they are cycled on and off. However, I can not attest to that. I predict that you will eventually replace them with VorTechs once you see how well they work.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the rock!

"One filled with ROWAphos, the second with activated carbon."I have done this with great success as well. Michael, I would love to see some pictures

michael_cb_125 · 02-18-2008, 12:53 PM

Its waiting on me.
I have been looking at this coral for some time now.
It would be nice if it would "wait" just a little longer.

I know that it is not technically a frag, but I just love the growth and color of this coral.
