is there any way to rename the channels to mimic the a360?

It's a pretty Neptune heavy crowd here, but I'm always down to help figure out issues on any controller.

final price on the shrooms of $75.

bump.

I fragged them out of existence. Hated em ! Kimp has some.

I've got the vertex, very happy with it.

AquaDome had a pretty crazy pink goni last time I was there.

price drop again. $100.

for $120, you can do whatever you want with them.

bump, pricedrop on the shrooms to $120

only if you intend to tumble your chaeto. Probably not worth the energy expenditure of the pump IMO.

That's not mind trick.

That sounds like RTN to me. Birdsnests have a reputation for being picky beasts and can lose all their tissue in pretty short order if they're unhappy.

All of those goals, except nitrate and phosphate monitoring are doable with the standard reef controllers. Controllers for nitrate/phosphate exist, but they are suuuuuper expensive and not really intended for aquaria. Your best bet will probably be an apex, although it is most expensive. The user interface is the best of the three, and there is more local support for it than the other controllers. Good luck, we'll be here to help you along the way!

Ready and willing to trample if need be.

any chance wet sides will get a similar discount?

I think there used to be tank of the quarter.

your corals are so bitchy Richard.

You could do a BRS dual with the pellets in the first and GFO in the second. As long as the pellets are tumbling it should work. http://www.austinreefclub.com/topic/25904-my-brs-reactor-setup/

Not everyone has a gargantuan tank like you woods I only use like 1/4 cup per month of carbon, and thats being generous.

Jamie I've found that if you put a "Y" from the pump to the reactors, with ball valves after each reactor, that you can individually regulate flow successfully. I added an extra top sponge to my Carbon reactor to keep it firmly locked at the bottom.

GFO How useful is it? Very. Keeps my nuisance algae at bay (combined with sparse feedings). Have you seen a vast improvement in the health of your corals and livestock? Yes. Brighter coloration in SPS, no nuisance algae bothering zoas. Has using media made your life any easier as a reefkeeper? Define easier.... There is additional labor/cost for the reactors/media/electricity for the pump, however my time is worth more to me than if I had to spend my home time scraping algae and worrying. Do you find the benefit outweighs the cost? Yes, 10x. Lastly, what application do you use and why. Biopellet Reactor, Fluidized Reactor, Media Bag, etc. I've used it in a bag and in a reactor. I had much better results using a mild tumble of BRS High Capacity GFO in the BRS housing. Would you recommend this product?

Woohoo ! Seemed like a pretty arbitrary limitation to have such short connection distances !
