i still like to supervise the water changes even though I don't have to do much nowadays since everything is almost automated.

What kind of pumps you running and powerheads love to hear your equipment list

Lord_Spice · Dec 17, 2016

2 hammered /barracuda gold , 1 xf280 gyre, and 2 mp40 vortechs

Nice! How's the gyre moving the water in that large of tank?

Lord_Spice · Dec 18, 2016

I have mine placed in the top middle of my tank and it helps create a nice rolling wave .

I have been contemplating getting some sea sweeps but still on the fence about it.

Lord_Spice · Dec 21, 2016

Has anyone else used the sea sweeps or sea swirl not sure what name it is?

There is a much cheaper product , 19usd for a 1inch return

Have used them around 10 months ,... no issues ... believe they now also have the power head version ...

I dont know......after researching a little (and this is just my opinion here) this is a cheap version of the seaswirl. I looked into getting one of these instead of a seaswirl. Just look at the reviews - MANY complaints and nearly a unanimous consensus that it has a very loud click sound when it rotates - even when under water. From what I've gatherd, the people I know who have used the seaswirls swear by them - they are quiet, give excellent random flow, and are durable. I can't give my experience as I don't own one (but will let you know as I plan to put a 3/4" swirl in the corner of my upcoming 93gal cube build)

So sorry about your tank and I hope you are well from your hospital stay
