thecoralbeauty Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 The higher intensity the most is the louder it gets. Reef crest isn't too bad, but pulse is terrible... I'm surprised your intensity is so high. I ran mine at 50% tops. But I'm fighting the return pump nozzles at the opposite end of my tankWell I kept one 420 on the opposite end as well Link to comment
righttirefire Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 You must have 1000gph Cycloning that tank girl! 1000/20... 50x turnover rate... whatever you like, and whatever you creatures like. The return from my sump only pushes about 200gph compensating for head loss and turns in piping. I ran a 240 in my 20 tall, and my 20 long before the mp10. With one ac50 on min. And one ac50 max. But let's face it... my tank is hardly a reef... a FOWLR, and experimental coral. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Even 50x turnover isn't actually getting into 'extreme' territory. With the two Gyres, I'm well above that Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I get about 400gph from my returns but about 1500 GPH from my MP40w QD. So lets say 1900/45= 42x turnover? Damn im slacking- I need to crank up that vortech! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 What pretty clams. Can't wait to see how they look 6 mos from now. Did you measure their sizes right now and write them down? Link to comment

Did you measure their sizes right now and write them down? you know, i didn't measure sizes yet but i took a lot of photos! Maybe that's something I'll do with my next water change. I'd been so busy fragging the mille Link to comment

I was through Colorado this past week and thought of you. Thinking of places to move to in a few years and Colorado is on the list . Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Are you a clam dealer now or something? Well I get wholesale? So I guess sort of. I need to get a tank for all the stock though Link to comment

I was through Colorado this past week and thought of you. Thinking of places to move to in a few years and Colorado is on the list . Hah, basically you just missed me freaking out over my first case of RTN and the clams. oh, and i have an MP10 as a b-day present to myself, haha. I hope you're feeling a little bit more normal now that you're back home. I'm so sorry about what happened, I know the surreal and sudden feeling all too well. I'm so sorry you're going through that. That would be so fantastic if you moved here! It's beautiful, and besides not having an ocean, you might fall in love with it too. Do you ski or anything? I don't, but many people move here just to be able to do that every weekend in the winter months. Plus we could have kitty-play dates. Thanks! I'm getting TEAL ones soon! A bunch... I'm hoping 10 and you're sending me one of them, of course. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 speaking of colorado....how cold does it get there?? i been comparing Boulder temperature over the winter with Chicago and they are very similar, which makes me very sad as that's the main reason I want to move out of Chicago =(.

You will love the mp10 It's great therapy to be back home and the kittens are helping immensely . I don't ski. Only have once in my life when I was like 6 years old lol. The parts of Colorado I saw are just gorgeous. I could totally see myself living there. My moving-to options are more open now with no need to be so close to Indiana. Even staying here is a possibility now but I really do want to move someplace where it rains lol. Kitty play-dates sounds fun . Sorry about the RTN. Hope is all ok now! Link to comment

Also, i think the biggest thing i hear comments on is how many days of sun we have. even in the dead of winter, it'll snow part of the day, and be sunny the rest. i think we average 300 sunny days a year, so that's a huge bonus. and you can't beat the mountains.
