Reef Savvy Red Edition

How are you liking that vertex pump I was thinking about doing one on my 180 build but wasn't sure if it was enough flow.

Hey Jonny,

I like it but I'm a low turnover kind guy. I think the V6 is only about 1600 gallons per hour.

I rely on two Maspect Gyre 150's to provide most of the flow to the tank.
 
what do you think about the quality\durability of the stand? I noticed some open plywood edges. I would worry it would soak up moisture over time. How well does the bottom of the stand handle spills etc...
 
It's holding up pretty goods . The wood has a laminate over it like formica which keeps the wood protected. Ask far as the general construction of the stand I feel that's its very good. I had it for about 2.5 years now and I've moved several times. The last move was over a thousand miles and the stand is as sturdy as day one.

I've had several spills and floods and the laminate has kept the wood dry. Everything is still white and looking good. Once the cycling is complete I'll post updated pics
