My reef tank has been up and running for six months. All of my equiptment was purchased new in-the-box.
I had an AC PH (i think 301) which was rated for about 200gph, shooting across the back glass. It is behind the rock and difficult to get to. A few weeks ago I moved a few rocks so that I could check the amount of flow coming from the PH. Guess what - the flow was zero. I took it apart, cleaned it out and put it back in the tank. It ran for another week and crapped out.
I have a large AC PH (maybe a 302?) which is rated for about 300gph. This PH is the main one in my tank and has an adaptor on the outflow nozzle that dispenses the flow in a rotating 360 deg direction. Tonight I noticed that the adaptor was barely rotating. I stuck my hand in front of the discharge and noticed that the flow was waaaay down. This PH had been cleaned only a few weeks ago. :x
I am really disappointed in both of these AC PH's and intend to replace them soon even though I still have plenty of fow from my wet/dry and HOB.
Can you guys recommend a PH that has given good service and long life? I'd rather spend a little more and get reliable equiptment.
Thanks - Charlie
