What are the brackets for the sea swirls u are talking about? What's the purpose of them?

Had to rig the brackets so that the seaswirls would fit where we placed them. The glass supports were too thick. I'll take a pic tomorrow. Nothing major

O ok cause I had to make up a acrylic "bracket" because of where my overflow was. I was thinking maby u found a way to hide them as they are not the sexyiest thing in the world but boy do they work.
I have two sea swirls with a vectra m1 on closed loop and I love it. My tanks a nano compared to urs only a 90 but I honestly believe u will enjoy what it will do for ur tank and most importantly ur corals.

We were able to hide it for the most part. Heard nothing but good things about them. I went back and forth between them and the oceans motion but chose the seaswirls

1 inch??? I'm guessing?
I think u made the right decision.
But next time get 4 seaswirls and a motions ocean and connect them together. U will have the most random flow ever.

locito277 · Oct 16, 2016

Yes 2 1 inchers! Along with 3 wav, 1 mp 60, 1 gyre 150 plus the return and the L1 return. Plenty of flow!!

locito277 · Oct 16, 2016

Forgot the hammerhead with 3-4 returns lol

justingraham · Oct 16, 2016

It's not all about flow. It's about the "random" flow.
And yea u do holy Hannah ur going to be able to catch a wave in that tank of urs. Hang ten in ur living room.
Hey if u want to send me ur wavs to test out for u to see if u will like them I will be alright with that.

Power couple!

The one with the eye patch is female(Emma). We got her at the shelter, dog aggressive so if we had not recognized that and rescued her she would have been but down for sure. The male (Tipster) is also a rescue, very aggressive for affection and play and licking and tail wagging.

The female loves kids though, and peoples.

We have a third who's not pictured also rescued. He's a pit\american bulldog mix. Bruce! I'll get a pic of him up soon. Looks like an Oreo. Hates men except for me loves kids and women. Guess I got lucky.

Got some updates today. We painted the drains black which makes a huge difference. We also were able to plumb the hammerhead CL and the Vectra L1 return. Tomorrow will be the reactors and Vectra L1
