    They expected me to pay my own international shipping to return in back. Not gonna drop another $30 bucks for shipping. Just won't ever do business with them again. Not once did they apologize for the condition. Poor customer service IMO.

    Wow that's a cool site. I just cut off some pretty algae that was strangling some of my corals. I think I got enough of it rubber banded to a separate frag rock so I can control where it grows. Can't wait to see yours in tank.

    I sent a formal letter to TB Aquatics, but received an informal letter in lower case like a teenager wrote it. There was no wrapping or box on the product and had the, what looks to be, spilt bleach marks on it - yet quickly defended that it wasn't a used product and that it comes in random...

    Not your fault you suggested a great kit, TB Aquatics are the ones that messed this up.

    What the fudge?! It's hot pink! Picture showed it as an army green colored case. ...and has bleach marks! I ordered the Dissekt-rite Ultimate Coral Fragging Kit from TB Aquatics new and at full price (I chose them be they are one of the only ones to ship internationally). This isn't good...

    If you breed frogfish I'm following you too!

    Powerhead decision

    I have no noise on mine. On medium settings, it starts to make some noise at full power, but I think my Eheim is louder. On the echosmart modes where it kicks up the detrious it does make a bit more noise cause it's really stirring up the tank. This would be the main reason I might unpack my...

    Powerhead decision

    So I got my mp10wes, installed one (in case I wanted to return the other), and put in on full power (as standard instillation process) when things literally FLEW across the tank! I upset my corals, so I tuned it down all the way and have gradually turned it up a few steps. I now understand why I...

    Powerhead decision

    I made a mistake on the Ehiem it's 3000 liters per hour, not gallons. It's only 400-800 gph. After some bargaining on the price and research on another forum, I decided to make the giant leap for 2 mp10wES. I'm getting them at cost (amazon price+international shipping rates) without the...

    I read about someone keeping one in a 5g. I read they hardly move around so I imagine it's possible to do it in a smaller aquarium. There are several species from all over thee world some that don't grow larger than 4" up to other species that grow to over 12". I would think a 4" would be fairly...

    Powerhead decision

    I do appreciate all the advice. My Ehiem 3000 return is 1500-3000 gph. I'm guessing I'm not seeing all of that. I do have leather and polyp growth over the past few months. The main reason for the addition is better water quality and boost the water flow to get any dead spots. I would order...

    Powerhead decision

    It's $350 for one mp10es here. The wireless is nearly $400. Prices are high because of import tax.

    Powerhead decision

    I'm so nervous about getting one and it not being enough then want to upgrade later.

    Powerhead decision

    Would it be overkill to get two mp10s?

    Call em and reserve it so no one sweeps it from under your feet.

    My 28g Nano Build

    Looks great! Thinking about adding a mp10 to my 30g. Did you add the regular or wireless? Do you only have one? Do you like it?

    Powerhead decision

    So I replied and asked him about having just one MP40 (if it would have the same durability issues). This is part of his response: It's also recommendable to think about 1xMP40wES and I prefer MP40 rather than MP10 because it has much more robust design in it - It uses more components than...

    Powerhead decision

    From online dealer: But, If you are planning to use only 1 MP10ES in your tank I recommend to use Coralife DC motors instead of VorTech It's almost same price to 1 unit of MP10ES but it has 2 pumps with controller Also you can select 2 Hydor and AC controller instead of MP10ES Because I...

    Powerhead decision

    The online dealer recommended I get two of the MP10wES. He's the only authorized dealer for vortech in Korea. I thought one would be enough too. I'll post his responses to my email. Prices are a bit high (exchange rate and import taxes) but I think it's cheaper than if I bought it directly...

    Powerhead decision

    My tank is nearly 35g, not quite a cube (65 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm). I have an Ehiem 3000 returning water from the sump so flow is decent in the middle of the back of the tank. I have no idea what kind of flow I need. Softy and LPS corals., leathers, polyps, torches. Should I add a power head...

    Not sure if you're still considering mollies. I was reading the biggest issue with feeding fresh water fish to saltwater fish was the freshwater in their systems. So give them a while to get some saltwater in their bellies. But I wouldn't want to risk any harm to this guy if I wasn't 100%...

    I have wanted one since I was planning my tank. Unfortunately I can only have one tank, and being new to the hobby I wouldn't want this in my only tank but may change my mind later. We got a black one, tan one, and a leopard colored one at the local LFS last week. I almost got one to put in my...

    $30 bucks for shipping, wow! Maybe I can make some return from fragging. I looked at some other sets and this one looked like the one for me. Thanks!

    I'd certainly look into it. What's the link?
