Ocean Motion 8 way or 4way. They are a manifold with 8 or 4 ports with a rotating drum inside which diverts flow through the ports giving alternating currents instead of steady flow from a nozzle

6 week update!


The tank is doing well and has gone through several improvements since my last post.

Plumbing: I have taken the advise of the members here and am now running a separate pump for my sump return, separate pump for the skimmer, and the hammerhead is now on a true closed loop with 4 outlets up top and a spray bar under the rock work. I must say flow is greatly improved and the setup is now much safer. Also added 20 gal refugium that is fed from extra tube in overflow box and empties into the sump.

Inhabitants: We have moved everthing over at this point from our old 50 gal. We now have a whole 4 fish! 2 clowns, starry blenny, and royal gramma, more to come. Corals are a mix of anenome, lots of frog spawn, hammer, zoa's. New additions to corals are rainbow montipora, ranibow acropora, and aussie favia pupple and green. Other new additions are mostly cleanup crew.

Rock work is almost finalized, need a little more arranging in the from part. For the most part I think from here on out we get to stock it and enjoy it! Let me know what you think of the pic's and setup.

looking really nice man! you're tempting me to get another tank going asap so I capitalize off your inevitable frag-a-thons. With that kind of light set-up you should be able to do some really awesome stuff. Maybe even a clam down the road when things have settled down?

Looking great man!

Do it man, just jump in and start one. At least up in Seattle you don't have to worry about the thing overheating. Thanks for the compliments the tank os doing great, seems like the first year is always the easiest.
