Get an iPhone.
Sorry, cant help more than that.

I paid 300 and the ability to do more than make a wave, along with the other issues I mentioned, is what made me go with it over a wavebox.
-
I didn't pay near $450 for mine.
I went with it for small footprint, ability to modify flow patterns, no motor in tank. I debated it vs a Tunze nano wavebox, and the potential, albeit small, for tank destruction from wave forces pushed me to the Vortech. I have played with the wave function of the Vortech but have not used it for any length of time. As far as noise goes, I hear it from time to time but it is no louder than the skimmer bubbling away. I did notice the motor ramping in wave mode, which may have impacted me not running it that way too.
Mine fell apart twice, in the space of a few days, about a month ago and hasn't done it since then. Been running it for about a year. Mine is a gen 2, which supposedly solved the falling apart issue (for the most part).

Holy cow Clint!
How many frags do you have in there?
-
Agree with all of the above; very nice.
-
I noticed nobody asked how big the frags are. I'd be pissed if I got that and all I got was 1/4" of SPS, and 1 eye/polyp of everything else.

Welcome!
-
Clint,
I think all these nice corals you've been adding require a FTS.
-
No problema, and good to meet ya!
Don't blame me when it takes over though.
-
Agree with Mark.
I have a 1200 on mine and it too is shut way down.

Howdy all,
I have a 2217 that was on one of my FW tanks, but not running for the last 2 months or so. It still had water in it.
I pulled it off today and, aside from the stink, found a black coating inside it. It came off easily enough, but I'm curious if anyone
has experienced something similar.
I'm going to let it air dry and get new sponges and ceramic rings just to be safe. Other thoughts?
-
+3(I think) on a 6 line.
I had a run of them when my tank was new, seemed to drop off after a few weeks or a month. Can't recall if the 6 line was present then or not though.
-
PAR of 200 at 29" and with a very steep drop off? You will have to be _very_ careful about what corals you stock _and_ where you place them.
Regardless, it seems like a cool fixture.
-
I thought my plumbing was out of control!
Looks great so far.
Label your lines before it's too late.
-
Prolly dont want any SPS in my tank. Your LPS and shrooms would double in size though.
-
i might be able to, depending on how much.
-
How about you keep the crab and take the goods anyways?
-
Generated another decent frag of the Anthelia today, probably 10 polyps total, along with 3 stalks containing 5-8 polyps each of Xenia if anyone wants them. As I have to work tomorrow, they will only stay around until bedtime tonight.
Lemme know if you want them.
-
I'll say! I was eyeballing that blenny/goby combo.
-
Howdy Jeff.
I can get more. Want any GSP too?
I'm off today, but busy, and tomorrow as well.
-
Different genus altogether.
Size and speed of colony expansion is about the only practical difference, IME. The Xenia is slightly faster.
My Xenia is pink and pulses nicely; half the time the frags are pulsing in the ziploc baggie!
The Anthelia is varying shades of pink, ranging from dusty rose(I'm a bit disturbed I know this color but it's a reflection of growing up in the 80's) to pale pink.
-
What part of town are you in?
Tonight or tomorrow?
-
Howdy all,
I've got a frag of Anthelia with 7 or 8 polyps, along with 1 stalk of Xenia with 4-5 polyps on it, ready to go tonight.
I might hold onto it until tomorrow if someone wants it but cant get it tonight, otherwise they are going down the toilet tomorrow night if not.
Lemme know!
-
Pics to huge to really id it. Regardless, he should be a fine addition to the sump. I'd feed it to keep it happy down there.

Never used them myself. Might check Yelp.
