Haven't really got to use it yet but it looks and works good.

Took a few days and cleaned the skimmer up.

Nice addition to the t5. Should bright out some pop. That's a sick skimmer. Build coming along nicely.

glad you got the xho. no LED better imo.

11f150 · Jan 20, 2015

Yeah wwc uses the xhos in their new coral farm so I think I'll be happy with it.

Just a quick update. Tank has cleared up a lot and ammonia is present.

Got my Gyre in today. Pretty impressive so far. Came in a really nice metal container too.

I was super impressed with the cool packaging!

Update: Showing high nitrites and some nitrates so its getting there. Here is a diagram on what I plan on doing for a new water setup. Making things alot easier this time around. Pretty much running a rodi water line under the house and splitting that line. One line will go in the closet to a water change container, the other will go directly to a ATO container. Both lines will have shut off valves and float valves. Pretty excited about the new setup, running a 6 foot hose with pump to my tank from the closet to fill it back up with fresh water for a water change sounds nice and never filling up my ATO again is also nice. Days of carrying 5 gallon containers is almost over.

I am curious to see how you like the Gyre in a few months. I have the same tank and spoke to another user on here who also has the same tank and was using the Gyre. After a few weeks he pulled it because it was to strong on 10% ( for his tank). I want one, but want to give it a year to get all the kinks worked out.

Mines at 10% now during cycling and due to new sand. I'll definitely will be able to turn it up once the sand gets settled. I really like the gyre so far.
