Regretfully it will be a bit before I hook up the gyre.... I am still battling dinoflagetteacamacallits but hopefully soon and will post a vid as well

Kool new toys Jeff :smile:

(hopefully the metal shipping container isn't a reflection on durability) looking forward to hearing about your Gyre experiences

Lol that was my fist thought too but handling this thing it's got some meat on it it's quite heavy. I have heard that it is recommended to have a thin silicone sheet between the magnets to help with noise do I'm going to head to the dollar store tomorrow and see if I can find something. It's supposed to help with vibration noise.

This way when I do set it up I will have it ready to go

Mini update tried a dinoflagette cleanse with algea x from fauna Marin to my dismay it caused havoc with my tank. To the point of almost throwing in the towel this week.

It's still on mind as the tanks bio bloom is slowly clearing up a little distraught on coral/fish deaths algea issues that won't go away. Hell my 90 was so nice and this tank has potential but is fighting me all the way.

I did hook up the gyre it's pretty cool and I recommend it it's amazing how much water it moves.

When I get the energy and willpower to make a vid I will sorry for the delay

Finished building some shelves today to organize my hoarding

Tank wise things are looking better but still have some part of a bacterial bloom happening

You should remove your sand...... Just say'in

lockrookie 02-09-2015 03:16 AM

Lol maybe in all honesty I was thinking about it just to get coarser sand damn trigger keeps covering everything

Nothin' like havin' some storage space to call your own.
I have a fish/sump/office room with a hutch and closet, and I still find all kinds of other places to dump my stuff around the basement.
At least you know where some of your stuff is.

Oh ya, I agree you should remove your sandbed. I think we're all going to do it now :wink:

And I see you're already using the Aquattro approved Instant Ocean! So, once you remove your sand bed you will achieve the pinnacle of reef perfection.

Hey, don't be pickin' on the approved salt .... even if it's only stamped by Brad
(I don't count, but I'll stamp it too)
