In all seriousness....I still dont understand "powerheads" I know the tunze ones are the cats ass, but still he could have got an amazingly efficient pump, some 4 ways, some eductors, and had everything taken care of.... just my approach " better and cheaper" but whos judgin 
Mad props though!!! Beautiful reef!!!!!!!!!!!! |
I must be missing something from your efficient approach idea. I understand the cheaper part but not the better. I used to paint powerheads with the same brush until I got a pair of tunze's, the way they pulse creates an actual surge through the water and not just a random flow. I knew I was on the right track when I could see coral polyps blowing one way and then whip back in the opposite direction, just like a real ocean surge does. If I had room in my tank for waveboxes I'd add them too. I'm a believer in you generally get what you pay for, and whenever I try cutting costs to save money I later regret it. It costs me more in the long run as I have something I'm not satisfied with plus the good one I later replace it with that I should have got in the first place.
Anyway I just thought this was a pretty nice tank.
