I think we definitely need to see an over the top blues only photo of Hung's Truly Unbelievable

Hmmm, I'm curious how that looks too! Good idea! I'll work on it!

Best I could do... It's towards the bottom of a 29" deep tank.

Even more flow? Hmmmm....

Picked up two practically brand new looking Gyre XF-250s and a controller from @Caravanshaka. Thanks for the awesome deal!

Time to amp that flow in the display!

Score. I wish I could do that with two IceCap 1ks. If I could I would probably already own two.

It seems like a win-win to have alternating gyre flows. I'll leave my MP60s to give me the other random flow.

How are these compared to jebao which I have. Do you recommend it for a reefer 170 or will that be too much flow.?Thinking of upgrading just now sure if I should keep jebao or upgrade to mp10 or gyre

Cornbred Blue Tort - similar to the cali tort but with a tad more green in my opinion.

Jason Fox Fox Flame - instant classic

FarmerTy Lava Monster side shot - was fun to snag this shot from the side which is rare since my tank is built-in to the wall.

Tyree Pinky the Bear - I've seen it look a million different ways when searching this acro online. I do like this version of its coloration.

Ausie gold torch - still growing strong after 3 years from 2 polyps.

I couldn't say, haven't even gotten them wet... But I would imagine the XF-250 model way too much power for your tank. Longer tanks I would lean towards gyres and more squarish tanks I think Ecotech MP pumps are better for. Jaebo I like as well for a cheaper alternative. If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it I say.

I always stayed away from the Pinky the bear because how it looks so different in all the pics online. Yours is the version I like.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I'm like... What is this thing really even supposed to look like? Thanks for always double-checking my sanity bud. Either that or we're both insane and everyone else is sane but if that's the case, I'm okay with that... As long as I have company. [emoji41]

I'm sorry I insulted your pumps. You didn't have to throw them away in shame though.
