MBX5, I couldn't agree more with your statement. Everything you said is absolutely true. The only thing holding me back is dropping big time $, as I'm currently a poor graduate student. But, buck for buck, you can't beat the Seio.

MichealT, you can actually get a Seio 2600 for $60. Google: fragfarmer. Scoobs, I haven't yet but I eventually hope to buy one. The only thing holding me back right now is the controller doesn't operate the 620 or 820, only the 1100, 1500, & 2600. I unfortunately have 2 620's as of now...

Kelly, I'm from Wheeling WV originally, just moved down here this past year. Love the outlets in Grove City. If you are serious about getting into sps I'd buy at least 2 820 Seio's, if not the 1100's or 1500's. SPS love flow, and do much better with more flow. If you only have 600 gph now...

I run all three mentioned. Each have there own advantages/disadvantages. But, my vote goes to the Seio. Buck for buck you can't beat the output of the Seio. The biggest difference between it and the other two is the ouput is spread over a much larger area, not just a straight line, not too...

I assumed you would click on my profile and email me, but to make it easy for you REIrwin79@yahoo.com NIRUA64, I'm not sure if you want any of my sps, apparently I don't "new anything about sps" . Drop me an email, and I'd be glad to help you out. End of the highjacking and congrats to...

Originally Posted by teen and he could have it set up just as nicely with vho lighting. If you read the first post, the tank is 25" tall and he plans on making it an SPS reef. VHO's certainly don't fit that bill.

Wow! Tis a beast and a dream of mine. This puts you on par with Steve Weast. Makes a 180 look like a puddle. Can't wait to see the finished product, especially with sps. Congrats, I envy you!

Unquestionably yes. A necessity to this hobby IMO. Before I bought mine, my hydrometer was showing 1.025. Then I tested with my refractometer-1.032 :scared: .

Yep, the reason you felt the electricity is because you were grounded and completed the circuit. The fish should be fine, they are/were not grounded.

Yep, it wacks everything and is the best product I know of. As I read the poll results it's no wonder red bugs are so prevalent. Only 3 out 13 people are treating their corals before they put them in their tank, ouch! Maybe people are referring to lps and softies though? SPS are the ones...

A fuge/refugium/refuge what ever you wish to call it, is a place free from predation and as such plumbed separately from your DT. The real purpose of a true fuge is to propagate microorganisms/pods etc. Most typically people really are referring to algae scrubbers or vegatable filters when they...

Super glue gel

TMPCC, unless of course you like red bugs, FW's and AEFW's. There is no one to blame but ourselves when we frag and trade. I learned the hard way with red bugs. They almost killed two of my tri-color acros. Had to dose my whole system with interceptor twice to rid the little pests. Lost all...

I've never seen or heard of anyone modifying a SCWD before, I'm certainly interested in seeing the end result. Are you putting more than 1400 gph into it? Changing the gear ratio?

Looks like you should be okay, but exactly how tall is your canopy?

Only way you can do that is to slow down the flow to it. I have never done this, but I would think if you took a T off your pump return, then off each T put a SCWD, this would still give you alot of flow, and would really slow down the switching rate of each. Not to mention the fact that you...

You still are going to have friction, unless your closed loop is nothing but straight pvc, which of course could never happen.

It looks like it is, here is a very bad picture of an endive hydnophora. Top right in first pic, more to the top though. Second pic, the center. I doubt these pics help much though. This is what happens when you take pics with a 3.2 MP camera.

My SCWD is on my fuge return, not a CL. Either way, even with a CL, friction(i.e. 90's, 45's, T's) will slow down flow.
