Noticed the powerhead, did you need more flow? I'm getting a list of equipment together to start mine next month and was wondering if I need the spin stream and a power head or just a power head with the 606? Thank you

Just the 606 and sponstream was good but had a dead area under it and so i added the power head which i already had and its not as clean looking but it now has a nice current. Try just the 606 and use the stock nozzle but take a small file or dremel and make the inside a little bigger to allow more flow. It helps alot and may even be too much flow if you remove too much, just an idea.

I added a red banded pistol and a tiny watchmen goby. For the last few days were no where in the same area. But today I'm happy to say they found each other and are paired up. I'll be posting a video soon. I'm really excited they paired!

Did u have a refugium in the sump of spec v? What lighting did u use to light up the back chamber..

I have Cheato and Chemipure elite in the back with a DIY media holder. I found a LED desk lamp at target and have it set up on a time to turn on at night when the main lights turn off.

Thank you for sharing your build! How do you like ur lights? any plans on changing them?

im very happy for what i paid, i cant afford or justify spending 200-400 dollars on a light. The aquamana from amazon is a great value.

The video is very well put together. The beginning is just pretty bad ass! How long have you had the two clowns in there?
