I think RDR and RDNano have been smokin' today...

RDR is trying to drum up business for the store, I've had to edit a couple of posts this afternoon.

Very nice looking set up. I'm having a few issues with algae as well.

VorTech you say? I've been hoping to run across someone else in the area with a Gen 2 MP40W. I've had mine since April this year, but it was a Gen 1. I upgraded it with the new magnet and bearing, but still need the firmware update. Would it be possible to get together and have my controller flashed?

I was in Vancouver a few months ago to visit my daughter and took the pump with me in hopes of having it flashed at J&L where I purchased it. Unfortunately it was a weekend and the folks minding the store at the time had no idea what I was talking about. While I was gone I put 3 AquaClear powerheads in the tank for flow and they weren't even close to what the lone VorTech delivers. I've tried running it in reefcrest and short pulse wavemaking, but now run it in long pulse mode. This seems to provide the most natural flow pattern. What mode are you running yours in? I understand the new firmware allows longer pulses in the order of one minute on and one minute off. I'd really like to try that. When I get around to setting up the 90 I have, I'm pretty sure a second VorTech will be on the list of things to get.
