Dan H Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks! The zoas are growing very fast and we're starting to really get some SPS growth now. I've had to keep increasing the effluent on the CaRx every few days just to keep up. A friend back in Michigan asked us to take some more pics, so who was I to refuse. Got some great shots of they Mystery wrasse. He wanted to show off for some reason today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo662 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Your tank looks amazing! How are you running the gyre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks! I have the Gyres controlled by the Apex. Here's the schedule for each. I tried to give it a lot of swings to keep it fairly random. They are really powerful and do a fantastic job of keeping the flow strong across 8' of tank.

Jimbo662 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I've got the 150 on my 6ft and at 80% it moves the sand on the other end of the tank. I've been debating whether or not to get the ice cap so I can control it too. I assume you think it's work the investment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah it's pretty nice to control it in the Apex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 So would you fellas say the gyre is a worthy investment over more jaebos or even a used vortech? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I would say so...I've only had it running two days now and just watching the water flow is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 I'm definitely a fan. It really moves a lot of water and it's very spread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It's looking real good in there! Thanks for using video. It's like everyone is afraid of taking videos of their tanks... Either that or don't realize how easy it is to do with your phone these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I assume they're labor intensive to upload Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Not really. I just say upload to YouTube and up it goes. I'm only afraid to do videos because of the odd background noise that may get picked up. I was planning to make another music video one of these weekends but I've just been too busy lately.

jolt Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Short video of the blue Mantis. I'll upload the better videos tomorrow. Also, I bought a 1000mW 445nm laser to go aiptasia hunting. It's surprisingly effective, not to mention awesome. I mean it's a fricken laser! If any of y'all needed some dead aiptasia, let me know. I may be willing to come blast them. Because I'm nice, not because its fun, nor do I gain any pleasure destroying aiptasia... With a laser. [emoji41] Dan - where did you buy your laser? I've had a couple of the aiptasia beasts pop up in my tank recently ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Ebay. It's a 1 watt 450nm laser that has an adjustable beam so you can really focus the light on those suckers. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1W-450nm-Laser-Pointer-Pen-Blue-Adjustable-High-Power-Focus-Battery-Charger-Beam-/321888310056?hash=item4af209d328:g:lBkAAOSwI-BWIFUU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
