Hahahahaha I kinda figured that! I was just trying to avoid that price tag! Especially since I was going to build a closed loop (with pumps I already use as dust collectors) until YOU pointed out these marvelous devices... hahaha I always hated the look of powerheads in my tank, this kinda...

Yes, I would get the wireless control 10s . As I understand it, when they link in slave/master they run 180° out of phase to each other in a push/pull configuration. since the tank is 6 ft long I thought there may be an advantage to running on opposite ends... Or is the 40 that much stronger...

I know this has surfaced before... I also know the worth the money/ too expensive arguement... I personally like the small in-tank footprint and will pay for the quality. Everyone who has them seems to swear by them. I just can't decide between two 10s or one 40 in my 180. Thanks in...

Its gonna be a fun one! Hopefully I'll have some time between x-mas and newyears! Thanks I'll stock up on band-Aids! hahaaha

Whoa! those bad boys are expensive! They look like they do an awesome job at replicating tidal movements. I kinda like the idea of a multi head linked system. MAN! Even when it seems there is no more money to spend on large purchases... this hobby never ceases to amaze me! hahaha

I don't have any coral in the tank as of now, but eventually I will again. I wasn't going to drill, If the tank was new I would. But it is a messy process in place, even semi broken down. I think I can run a neat plumbed job out of drinking spec ABS (black) and It wont be very visible at all.

I like that idea...

That's exactly what I was doing... just seems to make me feel better hahaaha

Its amazing, out of all my beautiful fish, this [moderator edit] is the one that survives! I almost feel like he should get a "last man standing" prize! He is a monster Domino though, almost 3". Th second runner up was a 5" Black velvet damsel (also a douche) but more of a "I know i'm big"...

Thats was my plan. I figure the tank was going to recycle no matter what, so i might as well get the rocks as scum free as i can and build that closed loop system. Thanks For the good advice

Coming from FW, I have always felt the need to want to have MEch filtation on my SW tank. I know the downsides, becoming a nitrate pump, frequent cleaning necc... Just always felt "naked" not having such a simple and cheap device. I see a lot of sumps with micron socks and wet/drys with...

I had this posted in the greating area, figured I'd post here as well... Thanks in advance for any/all help. Thanks for the welcome and for all the advice already absorbed and to come. :wink: I have always had amazingly good luck with my tanks. I used my tried and true "buy the good one...

Thanks for the welcome, my friend.

Thanks for the welcome and for all the advice already absorbed and to come. ;) I have always had amazingly good luck with my tanks. I used my tried and true "buy the good one from the start and it should, in theory, work better" technique. Unfortunately, that doesn't help the fact that I am...
