triplet Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I bought the Spin-Stream and now I wish I hadn't. The tank has been running for a day nice and quite, I put the SpinStream on this morning and the thing is crazy loud. Time to take it out and try and get rid of it. Great idea, poor design.

It quiets down in about a week. Mine was suuuuuper loud when I first got it. It's silent now. 1 Quote Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I got a shipping confirmation for my minitide today! How about a grow out contest between the PRIME guys/gals against the minitide tide guys(and gals) and all the other lights in here? Friendly though, not name calling or fanboy stuff. I think it would almost be impossible to do this kind of contest due to the variety of methods used to help grow corals here and also the many different types of hardware used in our tanks. 2 Quote Link to comment

Sounds like a good idea, I was thinking of switching to the mini tide. I like the look of it a lot more. My latest FTS 5 Quote Link to comment
triplet Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Finally setup. Used sand and rock from my tank at home and a little water. Hope I don't have much of a cycle. Most likely will add some coral Monday if it all looks good. This thing is fun. 2 Quote Link to comment

Jimmeh Lee Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I am hoping. Thanks for the advice, was going to pull it out today. No problem! I was pretty worried when I installed mine haha. My tank's in my bedroom, so minimal noise is preferred. As to the current silence, I can't even hear the spinstream with my ear to the glass. This is with the MJ600. You've got a good looking start! Oh yeah. Forgot to ask to formerly join the club Got the link in my sig. 2 Quote Link to comment

Considering swapping out my AI Nano for this little bad boy................. I've been running mine for a few days now and I'm very impressed. The app is killer and the light output is impressive 6 Quote Link to comment
Jimmeh Lee Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 So, who wants to talk clean up crews? I'm curious how beefy all y'all's are. Quote Link to comment
Fishstiks Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I have 1 blue hermit, 1 fighting conch (he's a temp resident from my tank at home who may become a permanent resident), and 5 sexy shrimp. These guys do a darn fine job of cleanup :-) 2 Quote Link to comment
