pics of mods as stated.. pumps broken down... 3 layers of pf4 w/ fishline back view YzGyz

ok.. here are some pics... it took me a good while to ul these.. no the best pics but this is the best i can do.. sry.. again pic of the whole thing .. just in case you dont know what part go where... skimmate in cup is 4 days worth.. running really dry.. it was pushing the lid off the cup...

the rps-3000 is the same as the nw-200 recirc i took a 12 kitchen knife to my NW.. slid it between the 2 rows ans worked it in and around as to crack the glue ( they aare actually 2 peices) then took one off and leth one on.. then took 3 layers of pf4 and tied it on via fishing line.. ( i used...

dont get the cpr overflow w/1 giant 'u' .. they are know to SUCK.. loose syphone and not start up again in power outage.. i think lifereef is a good one.. ( not 100% but as i recall) the difference in weyfry and fuge are big.. wet dry uses bioball and as water trickle over it they breakdown the...

thats why i said use the meter.... with some tinkering w/skimmer and mesh mod, you can get the skimmer to pull more air and run less energy ( many have done it.. ) YzGyz

those tunes.. you can do the mod and they cah do like 2200 gph or something like that.. ( you cut slits into the shroud to let ot pull in more air.. lots of people cut the nozzle shorter too, the flow is too strong and cutting the nozzle shorter will spread the flow out more.. ) YzGyz

those sound like PC's... in that case.. your buying outdated stuff that will cost more w/less in return ( par wise) for almost the same price of t5ho.. YzGyz

like i said.. you get what you pay for but that dose not mean that the cheap stuff don't work... maybe not ass good as the good stuff bbut they can work.. i again just want to push the importance of good reflectors... overdriven t5ho's w/ good reflectors are comparable to 250 watt MH... YzGYz

wattage is depending on how tall your tank is... imo.. the only 2 mh wattage that are worth it are the 250's and 400's... for anything els.. t5ho can do just as good or better.. ( except if your tank is a cube.. then a single mh is best) for tanks 24'' tall you can use 250's and keep most...

hum.. im missing a little.. i recommend replacing the top layers of needles if the wheel is like the OR or octo pumps.. they look like spokes on a tire ( take a kitchen knife and slide it between the layers.. work your way around to crack the glue.. then pry after to get the wheel off.. this is...

stick with argonite sand... dont use those silica sand and whatnots.. if i where to de my sand over, i would get the courser sizzze sand as to not blow them around too much... i have a ssb ( under 3'' ) in the display and a dsb in the fuge (8'')... my tank go's crazy w/o my fuge.. maybe it's...

i use to have that no coraline problem.. not anymore.. get a calcium and alk test kits and calcium & alk sups... if you have a some caraline present int he tank keep the calk in the range of 380-440 and alk in the range of 8-10 dkh once it grow on the glass.. everytimes you scrape, you...

i think your good.. if you start blowing things around too much.. just redirect the flow pattern some.. i hav e a ssb w/ 5 mj mods and my sand dont move all over the place to give you an idea.. YzGyz

sry about the bashing but imo through research and personally seen them.. they are not worth the $$$ .. you get soo much more with a quality fixture or name brand.. as far as im concerned.. more reputable namebrand are worth there $$$.. ( even asm and euro reef... im not a fan of them but they...

at first i thought it was as simple as that but after reading and messing around w/pumps and skimmers.. i found that there is more to it.. ( like how i use to think that more water flow = more volocity= more air pull... but no.. not true.. the mesh mod sucks less water and pull more air) imo...

ohh and the fuge/sump is a 55 long aga tank.. 48''L x12''W x18''T YzGyz

actually i use the same user name .. well close to it... ThangBom321 on --... i been there for a while .. read and looked through the forum for a year or two before i became a member.... im not looking for a specific answer as i have done all the mods just about.. ( im going to try...

the 2000 is for the 1200.... that the dumas prop... the kit is awesome but if i dint have the mj.. i would go the koralia route.. but since i had a few mjs.. before hand.. ( 3) and then found a local that was selling his old ones for $2 each.. i wad like.. heck yeah!!! on have 5 moded mj in...

retrofit-kits no not come w/ bulbs.. they are just the bare bone hardware .. no bulbs.. just go to a good online reefing store and they should have a good selection of stuff to look through... YzGyz
