Sea Fan Progress

I posted some pics of my tank Friday. I was praising my new wavemaker. It has been installed a week now & my tank is rockin! My sea fan hasn't bloomed in over a month & it's 80% full bloom now. The first pic is from Friday & the second I just took. Just 2 days progress, it's amazing me! The dark stuff is just disappearing & it's coming to life! I'm not sure what the dark crap was. I pretty sure it's not red slime, I've not had that problem in a long time. I did not reposition my powerheads at all. I guess the random wave patterns are making the difference. This thing looks great under actnics. I'll post a pic later. Sorry to ramble, but I LOVE MY NEW WAVEMAKER!

Does anyone else have a seafan they can post a pic of? I think they are so cool.

Excellent recovery. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing what a little bit of current will do for certain corals.

so you're talking about the attachments for the ph's? I've wondered about those wavemakers... what exactly do they do? just use the flow to make them rotate?
and I'm trying to tell from the last photo - I see the one on the far right, are there more on the other ph's?

I got a Red Sea microprocessor wave controller last week. It has several different modes, but what basicly does is turn on/off powerheads randomly (without burning them out) to create random wave patterns. I'm using the full reef mode. Coralife makes a plug strip that turns on/off powerheads ( no modes to choose from), I had one years ago 3 moths 2 powerheads crapped out.
For flow I use 2 Koralia 4's, 2 900 maxi jets with mod kits, and a maxi jet 1200 with a spinner.
That wavemaker controller I highly reccomend. It made an immediate difference in my tank.
