Vertex Mocean 2000
 
We just order a new gadget...
a Vertex Mocean 2000

We will replace the return water loc-lines with it.

geek all the way! :lol:

to be continued...with pics and video ;)

anyone has one in there set-up?

I'm using two of their predecessors/ancestors in my tank (Wayysea - they look exactly the same as the Vertex Mocean) but instead of hooking up to my sump return I've attached two Tunzes. I love the effect. You will have a lot of fun with this item! :)

josie 10-26-2010 01:15 PM

thanks Delphinus ;)

reading about Mocean 2000 on the net I dont find much people who haves it on thei tank :(

Delphinus 10-26-2010 03:58 PM

It might be a little too new of a product name still. If you google instead on "WavySea" you might find more people using those on their tanks. As far as I can tell they are the same product, just that a different company is marketing it now (Vertex) or at least a new brand name has been put on it.

Fantastic tank. (Do you get tired of hearing people like me saying that? ;) )

Nice effect with the Mocean. :cool:

Your tank looks better and better every time I see it :smile:

I so want one of these things where does it END?

Your tank is captured even more vividly on video it's gorgeous.

frizzo1983 11-04-2010 03:13 AM

Thanks for the pics looks great but I dont think it would be possible with bulkheads will have to look into this. Yours looks great and seems to create alot of surface agitation.

Thanks

I just ordered one of these. Saw Josie's and had to have one, just like every other new gadget and gizmo that comes along. :redface: It's your fault Josie. :mrgreen:

Of course it is. I can't be held responsible for my own actions. :mrgreen:

A few questions if you please:
Did you use the 3/4" or 1" hose barb?
How many GPH, in your estimation, do you have running from the return line?
Any problems with bubbles?
Will it make my tank as nice as yours? :wink:

Skimmerking 11-10-2010 03:17 AM

Isnt that the same as the Wavy sea, or did Vertex just copy it

lastlight 11-10-2010 03:19 AM

They have some sort of licensing dealio far as I know. It's not a copycat and when it first launched on J&L they were using a wavysea watermarked image for the product =)

Lance 11-10-2010 03:22 AM

Yeah Vertex bought them out and changed the guts somewhat; supposedly better built. I think the exterior hasn't changed though.

Skimmerking 11-10-2010 03:30 AM

Well there you. Lance to the rescue Thanks fella
