vortec is much wider and higher flow its very noticeable the tunze hit the front of the tank like a firehose and went everywhere plus the vortec looks better

Corey, the little tank looks awesome bud. Was that vortech a 20(Im assuming) or 40?

Tony the output on the vortech is basically the entire outside diameter of the pump, which is about 3". The tunze output is about 1 1/2" assuming Corey had the 6055. So the difference in stream is huge.

Oh.. I was assuming a 6100 (which is about 3" IIRC). Anyhow, interesting nonetheless.

this week i again added more frags &corals to the tank, i set the vortec's night mode just so i dont have to hear the noise of the damb thing while im watching tv at night, it actually makes quite the difference in sound so i think ill live with it,
havnt been able to catch the mantis yet or see him again but ill keep trying, i did catch the bicolor blennie first try, i cought him picking at the sps again to he got evicted down to the basement which kinda sucks cause they are funny fish to watch. so im back down to just 1 fish in the tank again, soon as i catch the mantis ill buy some more but im too scared untill then.
you can see where the blennie has been picking at the corals where its all white and ive actually seen him do it a few times now and it didnt seem like it was gonna stop.



other than that tanks been fine, i ordered a reefkeeper light #1 so i can get rid of the 2 timers and clean things up a bit, i think this controller will be fine for this tank unless i do some upgrade later on,

Hi, your rock wall looks awesome. I am wanting to do a rock wall for my seahorse tank. What kind of epoxy and silicone did you use.
Thanks for any help, Angela
