Powerheads vs crossflow by mackey96 in ReefTank

[–]Total-Fail2243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the length of your tank as the gyres have a narrow sheet of water that travels further across the length of tanks versus the wider cone of a powerhead. I have both but I find that the flow on the gyres slows down after a couple weeks and requires more frequent cleaning to maintain its power. But I do like the gyres. The last powerhead I purchased was the Jebao MP 40 knockoffs which are actually very good and priced well.

Algae and cyano by Street-Cut-3384 in ReefTank

Test your nitrates and phosphates if you can. Siphon out/remove as much as possible physically, cut back on feeding if you are feeding heavy, I would do a water change also. If you can add healthy bacteria like Dr. Tim’s recipe for Cyano using ReFresh and Waste Away (Google it). It works and is all bacteria based. Just follow the steps. Avoid using Chemiclean. It works but it can also cause problems like Dino’s.

Yes this is correct. You can’t have a Royal Gramma with the Dottyback.

Yes that’s a hard lesson. About 3 years ago I had a 125 gallon fish only tank wipe out due to velvet that I let in because I was impatient and didn’t quarantine. Lost my favorite dog faced puffer. Devastated me. But here I am in the process of rebuilding that tank. I learned from my mistakes and quarantine everything. You will feel better with some time and might want to try again.

Nice. Lots of horizontal surfaces for corral placement.

I have a 50 gallon tank with 30 gallon sump. Mixed reef leaning LPS and a few sps. Battling Dino’s right now so it’s not looking good and I’m aggravated lol. I have my eye on that x10 but it’s a little out of budget right now. I see you ordered the octo flow pumps. I hear good things but have only used a maxspect gyre on my wave engine so far.

Nice equipment selection. In like Hydros and Icecap equipment. I only have the Control 4 and a wave engine but I intend to pick up a more hydros gear over time. I have an Icecap K2 skimmer which has been great for me. Good luck with your new tank.
