SPS hanging/suspension

[Tagamet]

Hey Creeper, I'm in PA too. I know this is a *little* off this topic, but does the surge device cause any tangling problems with the threads? Do you have any pics of the surge device? If so, could you mail me them? I'm not on a dialup connection, so they wouldn't have to be shrunk as much at they need to be, to be posted here.
TIA,
Tagamet

No problem with tangling, they all seem to swing together. Reminds me of a good party I attended once . (insert laughter here)

I use a Carlson surge device w/ a 5 foot drop on one of my tanks. This device gives a nice slow starting surge that gradually increases in intensity until it abruptly stops. I notice no tangling with this device. I have a toilet flapper surge on my other tank. If I had the suspended coral in this tank they would end up in a tangled mess. This device sends a HUGE slug of water followed by a nice full flow, then an abrupt stop. The initial slug of water is VERY strong! It would flatten most softies. I don't think this device would work well with suspended corals.

If your still interested in the surge device pictures I'll have to take some. I'm warning you, they are just 5 gallon buckets hanging from the rafters with some hoses coming out of them. Not a pretty site, thankfully I have a cool wife and an open basement. I'll send you some pics tomorrow.

We'll see what happens.

I'm doing it right now.

Here's one pic:



This piece has had six month's of growth time starting from a 2" frag. It's more than eight times its original mass now.

The test piece I left mounted regularily is about half the size.
