I think Rich picked it up at MACNA. They are for sale as well about 37USD or so.
I'm thinking to order one as well since I cant keep up with my nitrates...

Awesome buddy, you won;t regret it. Way better than siporax...:wink:

hunggi74 10-06-2016 10:29 PM

What's really gonna blow your minds is that he got the brick for free! A little charm, a little smooth talk, and a whole lotta skin LMAO!!
I'd be in for a brick as well. Gotta get on the cool kids wagon. What am gonna do with all the siporax now? It's only been in a month! Do you not need to wait for the block to seed with bacteria like Siporax? Imagine AF Bio Fil and this brick in a sump...

NEW TOY
 
http://www.aquariumsaustralia.com.au...20800x600.jpeg

Did some programming with it last night and I gotta say it's got lot of options, the automatic 24 hour cycle is pretty cool, it also comes with 2 preset ocean wave programs preset by maxspect, not too sure if I like them so I just saved my own. 00:00-08:00 both on at 30% synchronized, 08:00-12:00 60% 10s alternate, 12:00-20:00 80% 10s alternate, 20:00-00:00 60% synchronized. Let see how the corals react to it.

Here are the preset maps from maxspect.

Nice , where did you get that from ? Want to check price & info. You can run 2 gyres ?

maron6977 10-07-2016 11:24 PM

I paid 229 at jl, you can run2 gyres with the controller or if you only have one you can opt for the xf250 model which comes with 1 gyre and the same controller. Newer model comes with new propeller and upgraded bushings.

So far I am really liking it. The 24 hour cycle really allows you the ability to control these pumps with limitless options and for those who just want to plug it in and use the thing there are 2 preset maps ready to go. Built quality is rather heavy duty, extruded aluminium housing with black powder coating, buttons feels good. It also comes with a battery back up inverter. Owners manual has 16 languages so it might seems to be as thick as the bible but it's only 4-5 pages, I would highly recommend you watch the YouTube videos as it explains instructions in details.
Recommendation is a 8 out of 10 only because the price.

hunggi74 10-08-2016 10:27 PM

Oh boy. The last time you have great reviews on the Tunze scraper and everyone ran to JL to buy them. They ran out of stock lol
Jeff, better get some more controllers in!

I love the Eurobrace, would not have it any other way, rimless is nice but just hate the water spilling over.

Ati 8 bulb does a great job, I am happy with it. TBH I would rather went with the ati hybrid but the cost is just astronomical.

Marine pure is still in the tank and for the most part it is working, but I don't think I would purchase it again, I am using brightwell NO3 brick and it has been proven very useful. Highly recommended.

mseepman 10-26-2016 08:28 PM

So who in Canada sells the brightwell?
