I’ll definitely call and have him bring it inside. Not sure if the bus is an option because I’m a little more than 50 miles away rn. I’ll try Uber just scared it’s gonna be $200+ for that distance

All of them survived!! I moved my entire tank which took the whole day but it was worth the hassle. My new tank came today, but we haven’t finished the stand. We pre drilled the holes, but they still cracked. My brother is wondering if we should try smaller screws or countersinking the holes

Woo hoo!! Stoked to see how they do for you. I'll probably need one or two in the new tank.

Predrill and countersink all holes. I keep one of these chucked up at all times. Also, predrill back further from the end. If you have to be close to the end you can also tow it in some.

Will do thank you!

We drilled slow, but didn’t use clamps since there were two of us. I’ll try that though

I wanted a crossflow but instead went with a Nero 3

So far all the corals are loving it, and the Christmas tree worms are thrilled!

Are you using 2x4?

How strong is it ?

 

[alimac122]

@shadow_k

Listed as a max between 5400-6600 GPH combined (since it’s sine flow additionally variation in flow rate from 100%- down to 30% of max).

I have a 90g cube if you haven’t checked out my build. They are placed vertically instead of horizontal like most gyres.

 

[shadow_k]

@alimac122 way too strong for my wee old 20 gallon softie tank

Most definitely

this may be too much even for my tank. We shall see

Love this. I'll like to see some flow vids when you get around to it.

Tank is getting delivered tomorrow. . . 2 weeks early. Got some decisions to make and that's one of them.

I may start up a 5 gallon LPS dominated tank ONCE I get this 20 gallon under control
