Yes so far I am very happy! I knew I would sacrifice some flow moving from the barracuda to the L1 but the decibel level is incredible, you don't even know these things are on. My only gripe so far is on the closed loop pump it is putting micro bubbles in the display.... Not sure how that is cause I would assume that means it's sucking in air from somewhere.... There's no salt creep on any of the connections so, I'm still trying to figure it out.... I hope they make a XL version of this pump to compete with the abyzz ....Sorry miss type are you happy with the Vectra L1
yes yes we want updates!
Are your Vectras still running well? I have one and it lasted 6 months before it melted its insides and seized, but they replaced it overnight so super customer service. It remains to be seen if it is a design flaw or was just a bad unit. The new pump is working fine. They are AMAZINGLY quiet and strong for such a small pump.
Have you dont a video walkthrough of all of your equipment? that would be very cool to see. I hope that all is well!
Well it's been a long time.... have been super busy and have not had and time for the tank, it's very sad it's been neglected. However going back through this thread has re-inspired me to get the tank back on track. I just haven't had time to get this thing where it needs to be, it has ran for the past year with 1 mp60 and just the return and closed loop. However I just ordered 4 new mp60 quiet drives to install! So this thing should be rockin soon! The tanks was over run with aiptasia so I 2 Klein butterflies , I think that's the name, the destroyed all the aiptasia! So I am closer to adding corals now. I still need to take care of some spegetti like worms that have taken over. I hope I can get a couple wrasse and they will eat them, I'll post a picture of what I'm dealing with so if anyone has a solution I'd be grateful. Look forward to getting this beast back on track in the next couple months and full of coral!
I hate to say this because I love Ecotech marine, their mp10/40/60 are excellent products and there customer service is great, however the vectra pumps are complete garbage. I have been through 4 of them now. With the melting bearings. My head height is only 5' so I'm not trying to do anything crazy. They are super quiet which is nice. But my return pump is in a tight spot so it was very inconvenient and frustrating having to swap those pumps out that many times!
Soon as my equitment room is more orderly I will post a video of the room and go over everything. I appreciate everyone who's followed along on this and look forward to making this tank amazing!
So glad to see you back posting! You also gained a new user banner because you posted an update!
