Hi all,
I'm new to TRT- my first post, but have been enjoying reading the forums here for the last few weeks. I'm returning to the hobby after a decade or so hiatus and need to upgrade some equipment on my 90 gallon. Recently got the Outer Orbit Pro 48" 250Wx2halides/T5 combo fixture and love it!
Next i need a new
pump- not really tied to a budget but think i ought to keep it to $500 or so. Right now i have a sump flowing 800/hr, koralia 4, and a hagen powerhead to move the water a bit, but would like to ditch the latter 2 for a wavemaking setup.
I think i've settled on the
Vortech and would love to hear your thoughts, comments, and experiences on:
1) If this would be adequate for a mixed reef, mostly LPS/SPS setup.
2) I have a predrilled all-glass 90 with a corner overflow- will i need to mod the overflow to run the vortech in a wave mode, or can that be accomplished without having to drop the H2O level to low?
3) The gen2 MP40W is on sale at Fins Depot for $399 - has anyone used this store? I know nothing about them. I usually use Dr. F&S, as i'm not that pleased with my LFS knowledge or stock.
Thanks for any and all help and opinions - i appreciate it!
