Got it from bulk reef supply. It was the only plate rock i could find and the price wasnt too bad IMO

ozzie · Reef-Geek

Luv those Vortech pumps Mannn i'm jealous i need one of those pumps

Chris is dead rocks cheaper than buying live rock

Sneezy · Big-Geek

The rock looks awesome Chris, but what is the Sawzall, drill bit kit, keyhole saw, and Jigsaw for?

Reefdaddy · Geek Squad Jedi

Prbably a leftover from his sawing out that 2x4 so the Vortech can fit. Nice rock though, huge peices like that make for good coral placement.

Yes dry rock is cheaper. I think we paid $2.40 a pound?

Half for the pump and half for the windows, just havent cleaned up yet. Drives Barb crazy

billrob71 · Will work for CLAMS

Rock looks great!!

Alright when to start deconstruction

chris&barb · Lost

Not sure yet Bill. Im going to try to assemble some of the rock outside of the tank first. I might get a chance to do some of that this weekend

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Are you going to add it ASAP or are you going to cure it first?

spinycheek · Insert Custom Title Here

I like the pumps, you should get MP20s though and send that MP10 box to me.

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Me first. Did anyone mention that Chris should post a video?

tcwayne · Aint got no nitrates

video? No way, now that would be so cool

Kerickson978 · Whats up?

Im just putting them in as is. Dont have the space to cycle them out of the tank and there will be plenty of old rock in the tank to keep the biofilter working. Im sure the water will get a little funky for a bit but i dont think it will be bad

I want to try and do a more minimalistic type system. I want the rockwork lower in the tank with lots of flat spots and overhangs. I did some looking around and i havent found any photos that show exactly what im thinking but this is close

Rhys123 · Reef-Geek

I like that rock you got on the other page.

Where all those Vortechs MP10's?

Cheers

chris&barb · Lost

We got 4 mp20s for the 180 and one mp10 for our 29g tank

marvik · Reef-Geek

chris did you try the mp20 ? i would like to know if they are good as they say maybe i well change my tunze with them ?

chris&barb · Lost

Yes, im using them right now. They work fine but i dont know how different they will be from your tunze pumps you have now.

marvik · Reef-Geek

right now i have the 6201 and in my aquarium they are to powerful they move the gravel from one side to the other they were a bargain but now i don't know cause for the 4ft are to powerful and i have four and only using one of them

chris&barb · Lost

you can turn that pump down a lot. the flow from 6,000 to 20,000 l/h (1,585 to 5,283 US gal./h) and the vortech flow from 1,000 to 3,200 gallons per hour
