I'm not sure if it's just me, but I couldn't see the video on the site.

This link worked for me: http://www.oceansmotions.com/paul/video/1000%20gph.wmv

Paul,

Very very nice indeed. I'm wondering about the REVOLUTION though. You say it has a 360 degree arc; I guess that means that they can't be mounted in the corners of your tank as it would be spraying against the walls of the tank 1/2 the time.

Where and how do you suggest mounting these units within a tank? Is there a way to modify these to only a 90 or 180 degree arc? Do you have any mounting suggestions?

My first thought would be to mount 1 or 2 of these below a crossbrace in a tank. Has anyone else thought of potential mounting possibilities?

I will have a 180 version in a few weeks, it is similar to the 360 but has 2 nozzels but only exits through 180 degrees.

Hey Paul,

Do you plan on having 3/4" or 1" versions of the Revolution?

Thanks!

Thanks Salty, Your the man!!
I talked to paul on the phone and I am ordering one when they are ready, stay tuned for a full blown write up on these........ Three way ball valves are a thing of the past.

Oh Ya, These are made from solid PVC and are CNC machined, he (paul) said they are around 9 inches square. But because they are plastic they can be mounted anywhere without alot of weight (gotta love that). I think these are the new revolution (pun intended)

Paul,
I was just wondering...Have these ran in a actual reef setting?..(sorry, i read the past post to make sure i didnt miss anything), the reason I ask is I saw the rev. video..I was wondering if there could be, or has there been any problems with the revolutions sticking?..looks like they drop down some, wonder if corraline, algea, etc. could cause a problem on the shafts?...but as I write this, im sure the pressure overrides and takes care of that problem, huh...

There is unrest in the reef, There is trouble with the corals, for the lps want more sunlight And the sps ignore their pleas....The trouble with the LPS,(And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the SPS are just too lofty And they grab up all the light. But the SPS can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made. And they wonder why the LPS Can't be happy in their shade..So the LPS formed a union And demanded equal rights. "The SPS are just too greedy;We will make them give us light." Now there's no more SPS oppression, For they passed a noble law, And the Corals are all kept equal By Reefer.. frag.. and saw.

Ahh a question from a Rush Fan...good Canadian band

Yes it has been tested in a reef application, the fact that it moves eliminates the build up on the inlet tube, the actual rotating mechanism is in the lower drum and has no growth on it, unlike a clear acryilic unit which gathers diatoms but still continues to function.
I have no idea what will happen in 3 years of use of the "revolution" more than likely nothing, I am sure it will need to be cleaned occasionally, simply un-thread it from the input, pull one pin, clean, replace pin and re-thread where it came from.

total elapsed time 4 minutes.

Paul
