I take it the other one is working OK now? the one you brought back has been running non stop so far, go figure! I think I may need to add a few more and loose the wavebox as the Vortech look so much better.

What size Vortechs did you get Marie? 20's or 40's?

I bought the 40's. I now have nearly 12,000gph of water moving around my tank when the pumps are on full speed

68x turnover. Wow! I'll have about the same flow but at 60x turnover.

I've got quite a few LPS in that tank; I hope they can handle it.

The tank looks great Marie.

The vortechs have so much more to play with then the wave box

I've decided I like the long pulse, with the slave in sync. It's amazing how much crap gets picked up when they're going full blast and then the tunzes take over and blow the crap to the overflows when the vortechs are in down mode.

Thanks Greg, it's in no small part to you that it's looking so colourful

Meet mr. and mrs. (I hope) Potter

This is the last time I will try potters angels but so far it's going well. Both are eating and seem to be getting along all right. I doubt I can keep them in the quarantine tank for long though...cramped quarters would stress even the best relationship

Wow, beautiful fish. Huge beautiful coral colony too for just a QT tank. ;)
