mooo is correct. Its a 6201. Im loving it. Its very strong with broad flow just like tbone told me it would be like. This is my first real powerhead and it makes a world of a difference in a larger tank.
tbone, right now I only have my bellus. The other angels jumped or didnt make it. The flagfin was the one that was doing so well and one morning I found him on the floor dead. I saw a Poma this weekend and wanted to get it. I had one before, but didnt make it. The part that worries me is that he is shy and will eat.. but not sure if he can compete against the other fishes and may starve itself. I passed on it. |

With all the stories of fish landing on the floor dead, I'm getting concerned about the open top design. Is it only occurring at night? I don't recall - Do you have or plan to add a moonlight?
I'm thinking about adding some sort of lightweight canopy on top of the tank to protect jumping fish. Something as simple as a Styrofoam insulation box about 8-10" tall that rests on the perimeter of the tank at night. Sure, it would be annoying to put it on the tank at night and remove it in the morning every day, but it's cheap insurance IMO.

Oldtimer, I did add a moonlight and the jumping has stopped. Before it was pitch black so I blamed myself for the fish jumping accidents. Im sure fish dream too and could of caused them to startle itself.
Chris, thanks for the idea. tbone, no problem. |

Right Right, I keep forgetting that a lot of your stuff is exposed. All my stuff is hidden. The 7095 is big, ugly, and looks cheaply made - looks like a big, plastic box. I'm not familiar with other controllers, but the 7095 works well with the Tunzes. Gives you a lot of different options with regards to the type of flow you want, how intense, etc.
Which moonlight did you get? I'm thinking about adding at least one more. The one light that comes with the 7095 is not enough - food for thought. However, it is nice that the controller comes with a moonlight. The feature I really like about the moon light is that the intensity of the light follows that of a 29-day lunar cycle. Some days, it's bright (and you can see it glisten in the current). Other days, it's dim. Pretty cool. Last edited by tbone28; 11/14/2007 at 11:54 PM. |

Its nice to see a bunch of car fanatics! Usually the people I meet around here arent into cars except naka.

Make her earn it, now that's a responsible parent.
I thought cars and reefs go together. Seems like most of us in this hobby tend to be drawn to expensive tastes... here I am with a brand new '07 Volvo S60R and I'm dreaming about a nice '05 or '06 997 Carrera S. Geez! Nice shot by the way. I can't get over the depth of the tank.

Wow, that pic truly shows the scale of your tank, too.
I am always telling my daughter to be careful with the magnet and the sand bottom. Maybe I should start paying her to be careful, like you

Hi invincible
Are you going to put sand back in or go with bare bottom? BTW I love your aquascape my new set up with look similar to your lay out.

Marc, actually I dont let her feed the fishes. Once they know how to, they will feed unexpectedly without me knowing. My little one killed my nano tank and fed the entire fish container with ketchup. That right there told me I need to wait many years. They have never touched my tank. I just took this pic to show some a true life perspective of the size of the tank.
Oldtimer, nice car you have there! I love those cars too. Too many new nice cars coming out now. H20, my daughter has asked me to clean with the magnet too, but I dont feel comfortable yet. The worst part is having my younger daughter see her and then she wants to do it. The young one is a little more of a daredevil. mcrist, I understand where you are coming from. ROBolton, LOL! .000000? yc, yes I do. I will add it in a month or so. I didnt want to make any quick drastic changes once again. Im letting everything become stable again after my last water leak incident. Is your tank the same size? Jarhead, thank you! |

No Invincible I have a 84''L X 30''D X 24''T starphire but I will try to do an open aquascape like your's. I like BB but I want some sand in front of the island but not the whole tank because of my high flow.
