jtwisconsin Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 you still have those two 606s? they are a hot commodity now. I have three of them - one powers my 6 gallon office tank and the others are with all my spare parts for "future projects". However, I think the Aqueon QuietFlow 600 that InTank sells is basically the same thing. http://shop.mediabaskets.com/Aqueon-QuietFlow-Submersible-Utility-Pump-600-ES06616.htm Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Is that 12 gallon EVO released? It looks sweeeet. I remember seeing it last year on reefbuilder but haven't heard about it since. I'm not sure, they are very nice tanks, we got to see them and they changed the lights for us too. Link to comment
Gilly's Reef Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Hey Nanoman, I'm really confused. I just saw the EVO at Fluvals booth at ReefaPalooza and they have a full canopy top with a touch sensitive light. What you have seems to be a re-designed Fluval Spec V? Here's a link to what the EVO looks like, the models we saw at RAP had a black top. https://reefbuilders.com/2014/08/30/fluval-sea-evo12-nano-tank/ Here's another picture. Maybe the 5G comes in the configuration you havem but laregr sizes have the full canopy I mentioned. Yeah i was totally confused too until i did some more research. The fact that Fluval is not really advertising these new designs make it that much more confusing lol Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Yeah i was totally confused too until i did some more research. The fact that Fluval is not really advertising these new designs make it that much more confusing lol I had asked about the "specV" they had on display - they said they changed a few things around, mostly that it has a higher powered return pump.

Gilly's Reef Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 oh. Hmm. but the light is awesome so far. No corals yet but of course i will update if you follow along Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm not sure, they are very nice tanks, we got to see them and they changed the lights for us too. What do you mean they changed the lights for you? How's the light on the Evo 12?? I may upgrade to that if the light is good. Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 What do you mean they changed the lights for you? How's the light on the Evo 12?? I may upgrade to that if the light is good. The bigger EVOs have a full canopy/hood. It shuts close. The light is built into the canopy, not affixed with an arm.. It has a touch-like sensor for operation, goes from white to blue to both to off. The Fluval Spec V light is a slider switch from what I remember. They had a new light on one of the EVOs, I think they called it a prism. Remote controlled little spot light which changes colors to give a pop when guests came over. The prism is an add-on doo hickee like a powerhead would be. It doesn't replace the main light. Link to comment

Glass is dirty yes.. Nanomag is still in the mail. Link to comment
HOTWATER Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Is the light bar 1 watt LEDs I assume? Link to comment
Gilly's Reef Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Is the light bar 1 watt LEDs I assume? Not exactly sure. Fluval says 10 watt led's. 10 watts total maybe? Link to comment
HOTWATER Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Not bad. I have the wave point "blade" on my jbj 8. And it has 6 blues, and 6 10k whites 12 watts total. Each diode 1 watt a piece. I can't remember what I paid exactly for the light but I know it was more than $50 so $90-$105 is a great deal for tank and lighting. Obviously the thing is limited to what it can grow but it's a cool little tank non the less. Link to comment

Sometimes i hate upgrading right away Link to comment
