Equipment

In my previous blogs I have mentioned that I would be upgrading my system from the crappy LED's and Sea-Clone protein skimmer that I have. Slowly but surely as of last night the new Protein Skimmer was added (although it might have been way overkill haha) but thats what you should always do with any aspect of your tanks filtration. The lights have been on for probably 2 and a half weeks now and coral growth has been ridiculous since that time. (as far as my Chalices and Acros are concerned) ...

To sum things up my tank is one of the worst offenders of the "Cheap reef tank attempts." But, Change is a comin'. My systems specs are as follows. Main Tank: 100 gallons 48in L, 24in W, 24in T. Protein skimmer: Sea Clone, Pump: Little Giant external pump, Reactor: Phosban Reactor rigged for Biopellets, Sump: 30 gallons no refugium. Chiller: 1 hp, UV: Built in AquaFine UV Sterilizer. Powerheads: two vortech MP10 and two hydor korslia 2's, Lighting: 2 120w Reef Bliss LED fixtures 55 LEDs ...

I recently purchased 2 brand new MP10es Vortech marine pumps for $22 dollars a piece. they were shipped too my store and sat in a closet for about 2 years and then went on clearance so I could not pass them up!!!! now one of the pumps is fully operational and works amazingly. However my other one does not . So here is my situation. I put the first MP10 on a few days before the second one and i left the other in its unopened package in the box in my car to show everyone how cheap I got these ...
