TheKleinReef Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Think i decided on a return pump. Going to go with a mag 5 with a ball valve to reduce the flow to match what my overflow can handle. Considering throwing a reactor on but haven't decided. i had a mag before, it lasted a long time. I just wanted something quieter. Supreme Classic was good with the warranty as well. Once it died they shipped out replacement parts, now i have a backup. 1 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I guess i could go with my second choice, the syncra 2.0.... any oppositions? lol Quote Link to comment
SpankythePyro Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You should look at the red sea reefer line... it has a center overflow but IMO I can deal with that for the looks of the aquarium Quote Link to comment

Arce Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Eheim! Man eheims are pricey! Didnt realize they were that much! Ive been using an old $20 pump thats been discontinued and is a piece of crap... i think anything would really be an upgrade at this point . Going to measure my sump and check to see if the syncra pro will fit. 1 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well... the return sections 4 1/2" wide... sooo the sycra pro will just make it being 4".. Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Syncra pro 550 gph or the syncra 2.0...? The pro has a pretty big footprint... 6"x4"x4" My return sections 10"x4.5" (Idr the height).. Would be a reallyyyy tight fit for the pro. Quote Link to comment

CronicReefer Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 great photography and corals! That first piece has some of the best blue I've ever seen. 2 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The only SPS I see lots of growth from is my pocillipora and my red cap (I'd call it a pink cap now). The rest have good color but veeeeeeerrrrrryyyyyy slow growth I just keep thinking I'm missing some magic growth hormone lol add zooplankton to your routine. Fuel and coral amino are the same thing and they are amino acids, not food. Reef snow has zooplankton but is a decaying form, you can get this simply by turkey basting your rocks. The resulting detritus is reef snow. Adding proper sized zooplankton like rotifers, nutricell, reef roids, is food. Try it. While frozen, liquid suspension and freeze dried foods can also be argued as decaying since they aren't fresh, they are still more whole than detritus, which is essentially in reef snow. A good usage of reef snow is if you were to throw in some phyto, let the phyto attach to the snow for a few minutes before you feed it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Arce Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 great photography and corals! That first piece has some of the best blue I've ever seen. It is a bright beautiful blue. Cant wait for it to take off and grow so the green base shows more. 1 Quote Link to comment
