Nothing about it in the EuroReef on-line store, and if you click the link for more details in the page reference you provided it still pulls up the old images and specs.

Heck the beta page for the RC500 still shows way old SP3 pumps. There web site is just above "useless".

Looks like just that page has been updated. It may take them awhile to update the rest of the site.

It'll be several weeks I'm sure.

Watching TV tonight and glanced over at the tank during a commerical and noticed my purple tang stuck to my vortec! Never seen anything like that before.

I have my vortecs set about 60%, the tang is pretty large it was folded around the unit. Seemed to have enough surface area that the suction prevented it from getting off it. I ran and unplugged the vortec. The fish swam away. No physical signs of damage, fed with no issues.

Weird. If I wasn't here I think that could have been fatal.

pH: 8.22
Conductivity: 52.8 (35ppt)
Calcium: 420ppm
Alkalinity: 9.6 dKH
Phosphate: undetectable
Nitrate: undetectable

What no CS series?!? wait, what's the difference again?... :P

Maybe that's why they're on sale at Marine Depot...

I still dont get why its that big of a price diffence just for cast vs extruded acrylic. Price difference on their end is a few bucks per tube.

tankslave · #**282** 11/02/2006, 02:47 AM

Oh, the CS was "hot welded" instead of glued. So they keep the cheaper to make model. Go figure. Yea, marine depot doesnt even have the CS anymore. Man, I should have bought another one when I had the chance...

ER1231 CS-80 was $198, is no longer. That's really disapointing. Now the RS-80 is $249, now that's just kinda insulting. Cheaper model, more $.

I think your double post went to the wrong thread

tankslave · #**284** 11/02/2006, 01:04 PM

It was either the EuroReef Club thread or the EuroReef new needle wheel thread that where just talking about the differences in CS and RS and one of them being discontinued. I thought you were talking about that.

I believe I just saw in the weekly email from Marine Depot that those are selling for $199.

Tank is really doing well. It ready for another full tank shot I think... once I get around to cleaning the front again.

I came across two images I took of new frags back in September that I never got around to posting. Both of these frags are pretty small but doing very well.

rdmpe · #**288** 12/02/2006, 11:49 AM

Looking good. Still having any heat issues? If so, you might want to check out this thread http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...hreadid=828812

original-reefland · #**289** 12/02/2006, 09:18 PM

Now that summer is over, no I'm not having any heat issues. Warmest I've seen the tank is around 82.5, with lights out the tank has been at 79.

Cleaned the glass for the first time in a month or so last night. Tank is really looking nice. I think I'm due for another round of pictures.

This is my blue tip Acropora solitaryensis which bleached out over the summer. It was moved lower in the tank and has shown excellent signs of recovery. While still pale looking, the new growth is showing some nice colors:

And a little closer:

This is a purple montipora plate that has finally reached enough mass to get a nice growth spurt.

Not bad for six months!

This is a brain coral I got from IMAC in the fragging demo. It has fully healed and encrusted the surrounding rock.

original-reefland · #**293** 12/05/2006, 10:06 PM

The green bubble tip anemone I picked up over the summer split over the weekend. Pretty cool to watch. Didn't happen in a location that I could get pictures of.

Euro-reef contacted me about some issues I'm having with the skimmer. They are sending me a replacement o-ring which should make the skimmer collection cup easier to remove and replacement impellers with the new pin wheel design.

rdmpe · #**294** 12/05/2006, 11:47 PM

Man that's a great looking monti cap. My purple one is pretty much dark brown colored with just a hint of purple.

Great tank Rich. I love that monti!

Cheers

Thanks Guys.

Rich are you going to try the Meshwheel on your euro reef skimmer?

Nope. I have no issues with its performance. ER said they will provide me with the newer needle wheel design which claim to offer 10% to 15% improvement.

Some updated pictures:

Acropora sp.

The following Acropora millipora images were taken just 7 months apart.
