yes...only when making water. I do have mine mounted on the wall in my garage.

FYI...the pump is a bit noisy…at least mine is.

These were extremely popular back in the days. I ran a couple of 3/4” Sea Swirls on my TruVu cube and loved them. They do require a relatively strong return pump for them to work well. It’s a bit bulky with use on todays rimless setups IMO.

Wow…look at the tissue band on those frags…very nice healthy specimens!

They are more known in the freshwater/planted tank world but I believe they recently started tapping into the reef industry. They make some nice setups and equipment...kind of like a more affordable version of ADA aquariums.

Mine had yesterday's date on it. I just checked again and it's still not valid. Oh wells... Ah i see...actually, I don't see...literally. That fine print is just a giant blur for me. Thanks for pointing that out.

The last 3 I got in the mail never worked. I just checked one that I got a couple of weeks ago from my last purchase and that one was also not valid.

I got this in a frag pack from jhuynh awhile back. It was one of my favorite pieces in my system.

Found a piece of finished glass in storage this past weekend and decided to see if I can make one of those AIO sump covers...similar to the ones Red Sea have. I drew up the "brackets" that will hold the glass in Tinkercad and sent the file to the 3d printer. I did a test fit to find out I didn't...

I was able to find a good use for the decommissioned overflow...MP40 dry end placement. The total thickness of the original overflow along with what I added (glass and acrylic) equates to 1" thickness. Needless to say, the motor is far too heavy to be held in place with just the magnetic...

I tossed one of the rock structures from my 150 into this AIO. I think it looks pretty good as is, but might add a rock or two more to have the structure to really break the surface of the water...maybe. I'm currently running a Kessil a360x tuna blue w/ Reefbrite. My par meter readings with...

I let the silicone cure for close to a week prior to filling the tank. I was super anxious to test the layout of the AIO baffles for the first time. Up to this point, it only worked on the primitive sketch I doodled on a piece of paper. I wasn't really sure if the AIO chambers would function...

The acrylic sheet needed for this project was going to set me back around $60-$65 and I would have to make all the cuts myself. I decided to source it out to Ponoko (https://www.ponoko.com). All you have to do is upload the appropriate file and they do the rest. Total cost for me came out to a...

Ordered this silicone on Amazon and started siliconing the glass to the tank.
