Sorry to hear about your loses. While not a Vortech, I've lost several fish to my closed loop intakes over the past couple of years, it's pretty frustrating / sad.

No problem with my mp40 and a seahare, although it's only at 50%.

Sorry to hear about the losses!

Is that the only flow you have going in your tank or do your return lines add a lot more flow for your sps? I may tune mine down even more if your sps is down ok with only 50% as I doubt my clams and bta like all that movement.

Doesn't matter for the sea hare, mine got stuck in between the 1mm spacing on my tunze pump. Friken retard! I said forget the sea hare and just get an abalone, much more intelligent creature. Sorry to hear about the other fishes but honestly the banner must be on its way out and pipe fish in a highflow tank just don't mix.

and it's probably more delicious as well.

Rich's abalone has gotten to be a good size too...........

I'm using the foam guard on my MP-10, I bought the 3 pack at JL. So I just swap them out every few days while the other ones are being cleaned and dried.

I am guessing that was where my previous Seahare ended up, blended by MP-10. Yummy!

If you continue on having issue with the mp40 I can dispose of it for you free of charge...:mrgreen:

You guys better leave my over grown abalones alone. I know they are obeast but T and T has fatter ones.

I have an abalone in the tank somewhere, its been mia for about a month though... :confused:

SORRY! He is a goner!
