I was in the same boat last night. This morning I saw that marine depot had the Gyres on sale, so I pulled the trigger. For less than an MP40, I got a XF230 with controller and additional xf230 pump. Probably overkill on my 48" 60gal bit it will replace all 4 of my korallias. Not apex...

Hey all, I want to upgrade to a Gyre. I've seen some good info on the XF150 but there is not much info or reviews on the XF230 with "advanced" controller. Is anyone running the newer Gyre or have info? Tank is a 48" 60g mixed reef. Thanks.

I thought maybe too dry as well. That's a lot of gunk built up on the neck. looks like the foam is drying up before it can spill over to tge collection area.

Wow, people have some pretty awesome stocking lists. Have the standards for stocking changed. 60g soon to be be mixed reef. 48*15*18(ish) 1-2 pair of green chromis. Had 3. 3-percula clown 4-lawnmower blenny 5-coral beauty angel 6-bicolor psedochromis You all think I could squeeze in a yellow...

Yeah best I could get would be surface info. Ha-ha just seeing if it would be useful.

Right. So the meter I have access to measures the spectrums up to 445nm. The output is in watts/meters So the reading would look like this: UVC – XXX watts/meters UVB – XXX watts/meters UVA – XXX watts/meters UVV – XXX watts/meters According to Wiki, watts/meters = irradiance of PAR. There...

Hey all, I have access to a meter that measures light in watts/meters up to 445nm. Technically its a UV meter. I can measure the following wave lengths: UVC 250-260nm UVB 280-320nm UVA 320-390nm UVV 395-445 According to the information I have found (Wikipedia) this measurement...

Good list. I'd also like to add Strictly Fish in long Beach. I haven't bought coral from them, but they have a good fish selection and great prices. Purchased both of my tanks from them.

I second Vivid. Great coral selection.

It's old, but the basics are still the same

I think I still have an old DVD on RC nitro tunning. If you are interested let me know and I'll send it to you.

Thanks I'll check them out.

Thanks all. So I am going to go with a DIY hybrid. Leaning towards the LET 2 bulb kit. Also gonna add a single AI prime in the middle just to fill the LED gap. Time to start designing the fixture. Smite, yeah I have a vidalia acro, a bta, and just picked up abred dragon frag from vivid over...

Hi all, New to the forum but not new to reefing. I recently upgraded my 60g tank and decided to go with LED's. Running 2 AI Hydra 26HD. I love the look of the lights but, as many have stated, it really doenst fill the space. I was thinking about adding a 3rd Hydra 26, but now I am thinking...
