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]

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.

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.

I have water getting delivered to my fish tank room! Big deal for me, no more carrying water jugs from the garage.

Finally got my first controller but I'm going out of town so it will have to stay in the box till then.
