Im also running both (mp40 and two tunze 6055s)...the combo has turned the tank into a 50/50 split of bare bottom up front and sand at the back....I like both powerheads for what each has to offer....vortech for wide flow pattern and shear power....tunzes for their point-ability

The dust settles. Lastlight for the win! Be a while till the salt settles though!



I bought this over a year ago. It's a relief to say that so far this thing appears to foam like a BEAST.

Haha, that's a long time to wait to try out a skimmer. That must have been a nice itch to scratch.

Nice skimmer.
You have nothing to skim though so you better pee in the tank and get that bad boy working.

Actually I was skimming wet last night and it has already pulled out a full cup with lots of solids and a light tea color! The rock definitely has a boatload of crap in it and it's now my mission to clean it up! I still am AMAZED at how much foam this skimmer pulls. It's so luxurious I wanna lather myself up for a shave haha.

I'm treating the wife to dinner up north today. Red coral happens to be close by as well. Might have to pickup my live rock lol.
