I can only speak on the Tunze Osmolator which is at the top of the price range when it comes to ATOs. Operation has been flawless thus far. Only had one instance where the pump got airlocked (at least thats what I think). Otherwise its been the best investment in my setup thus far.

Yeah, I feel you on the price point thing. Jebao is definitely offering a product for those of us that are a bit lighter in the wallet. Plus I've read up on the Jebao pumps being controllable on the Neptune controllers with programming similar to Vortechs. Not sure about RKEs though.

I'm no expert but I started out with an MP10WES on my 40B and was satisfied until I got a Jebao WP25 two weeks ago. Got turned off because it was way too powerful, then I started reading about running it at 12V vice 24V. Lets just say my Vortech is getting a new home to the highest bidding...

New 20L Sump Pics Old 20H sump setup. Shiny new 20L Sump with glass baffles!!!

Well, just thought I'd drop an update. The first firefish I bought was written off as expired since I was never able to find his body. So I have since bought another one that took about four days before he decided to come out to get some food during feeding time. Tank is coming along well so...

Cool pic. My Randalls Goby and Randalls Pistol never hang out together :-(

I cannot answer on the compatibility of the blenny and the watchman as far as them getting along. I do however have a Randalls Goby/Randalls Pistol Shrimp Combo and a Cleaner Shrimp in my 40B. The pistol shrimp has made two appearances since I put him in the tank......I can hear him snapping...

Instant Ocean Baby!!!!!!

Awesome tank. It's amazing how much difference having a sump makes it. I started out with a 20L with an AC50 and maintenance was such a hassle. Now I have a 40B with a 20L sump and it's heaven. You get to hide all the goodies down there and water changes are cake because you don't have to...

In regards to the Tangs...you can scratch all of them off your list. You would need at least a 75 Gallon tank to keep the yellow tang and then it goes up from there.

Anyone else gettting the strange feeling like this could all be a practical joke? This guy can't be that clueless with all the information that is available on this site and others.

I have just read thru this entire post and watched everyone beat the dead horse. It was like seeing a train wreck about to happen and not looking away. I too have a 40B and use Live Aquaria and advice I've gotten here to make informed decisions when stocking my tank. Some people have to get...

Return pumps, I have only had experiece with Mags and Eheims. Eheim won hands down. Mags of course are cheaper but their motors are not synchronous and tend to run louder than Eheims or Sicce. After running a MAG 5 that refused to quiet down, I went to the Eheim Compact 2000 which comes with...

Welcome to the salty side Dan. Hopefully I can help steer you in the right direction as I've only been in the game for a little under a year now but have spents thousands of man hours doing research. In regards to powerheads, Koralias offer a pretty good bang for the buck and I believe two...

Your budget might be a factor as far as what pieces you end up getting. I have the Tunze Osmolator (199.99) which is at the top end of the price range when it comes to ATO's but it's been worth the investment for me. Tunze Osmolator Nano which runs for $99.99 but you lose some of the bells and...

Holy Crap!!! I just started looking at youtube videos on the Jebao WP25 and I have to say it is an definite option. I'm ordering one to pair with the MP10 that I already have in my 40B.

I have an MP10 on my 40B and I love it. So many different flow patterns and it's not overly loud. I personally like not having to clean salt creep off of the power cord like I had to with my Koralias. The price tag is a zinger though, you'll defintely feel it in the wallet.

F#$K!!!!!!!! Finally got visted by the RO/DI Monster!!!!!! Fell asleep last night and forgot to shut down my RODI unit. Woke up wth a nice bit of water all over the kitchen floor.....and I live on the second deck!!!!! Good thing the floor is linoliem and has caulking all around the edges so...

Aaaarrrggghhhh!!!!! Just finished ripping up the whole tank searching for the firefish who immediately went into hiding when introduced into the tank. Haven't seen him since Saturday when I first put him in. Not even during feeding time. If he croaked, the cuc must have done a number on him...

Thanks!!! It's been a journey this far but I'm making progress. I need to change the name this thread to FOWLR since I haven't put a single coral in there yet.

FTS and new Firefish!!!!

Three Blue/Green Chromis added.

I'd go with Banggai as well. Cool looking dudes.

That's a tough one. I actually just put three chromis in my 40B and they are very beautiful and active little suckers. I also like the way Cardinals seem to hover in place and are less skiddish than Chromis.

At least it was a legitimate death. Try getting a new fish home from the local store and then having it croak 2 days later. Then the store says they have no policy on livestock even though I had immaculate water parameters. Not even store credit or partial credit towards a future purchase.
