Jeez I think you need another tunze. I thought I was nuts with two 6100's on my 75 gal but you are pushing 120 turnover in that tank way to go !

Thanks VWD!

Redwinger- Thats funny cause I was thinking the samething today and started laughing. Then I added up the tunze equipment and promptly stopped

On a side note many that know me from here or other boards have always known me as one to push the limits of flow . My 120 had an ampmaster 3000 closed loop with 6 outlets, my mag 12 return, and 3x 6100's . It started by adding one then another then another . Reason was I was noticing positve reactions in many sps so it drove me upward until I figured that had to be the upper limit. I even have a extra large frogspwan which liked it right up until 75x then I moved it to my BB softie tank with 55x.

Here is a picture of what 1 6100 can do to a 180 in pulse mode

Notice the wave

Great tank, great pics. I think I got a frag off that stylo before you picked up the colony.

How did the Vodka thing work out? Did it do what you wanted? Are you still using it?

Thanks,
Whiskey

Thanks!Yeah I picked one up too....... then decided I had to have the whole thing especially since I watched it go from a frag your size to the colony in 15 months .

no my nitrates are sill 25 or above I am just upping my dose until I see something good or bad . So far 3 mils does nothing . Tomorrow will be 4mil.

Although I am not really concerned as the corals I came home with from the prop auction have all grown very well and have at leasted encrusted. The prop blue mill I got is now 4 1inch branches and 2 of those have sprouts already too.

What a crappy looking tank ... and you call yourself a reefkeeper? Shame on you, now hurry up take it down and ship everything to me.

Awesome and inspiring is all I can say... well that after the lowly atempt to make a joke just before.

BTW did anybody pay any attention to this?
