Re: OMNI DUAL FLEX NOOZLES
Those nozzles are priceless Ed! I am amazed at what these can do for your flow.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=14886577#post14886577 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by Ed Reef
My Ocean Motions Omni Dual flex nozzles also arrived…..
Full Nozzle:
2 Section Nozzle:
These nozzles are so COOL and can disperse the flow from my CL even wider….
Planning to used the full nozzle near my Lagoon Island section as this enable me to adjust the nozzle, where necessary
The 2-section nozzle will be place at both the far end island as the position of the flow is somehow fix….

UPDATES – DAY 3 CYCLE WITH ZEOVIT
UPDATES â€"œ DAY 3 CYCLE WITH ZEOVIT
Just some updates on how the tank looks today from different angle…
No diatoms to be seen yet on both the sand beds and rocks… So far no sand storm from the strong water circulation from the 3 x Tunze Streams

Everything is looking amazing! 
Just a quick question though, and I feel like I should know this, but what is zeovit?

You've done a hell of a job man, looks incredible. I look forward to seeing what you do with corals and fish selection.

This link should provided you some info on zeovit system tanks...
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_1/cav1i3/zeovit/Zeolite_Filters/Zeolite_Filters.htm
Basicaly just another way to maintain a Ultra Low Nutrient Systems (ULNS) for our reef tank.
I copy some basic info for you or for those interested....
A General Review of The ZEOvit System
by GaryW (Mesocosm)
The purpose of the ZEOvit system is to easily and reliably create, and maintain, a poor nutrient environment in marine aquaria similar to a the natural reef environment. The goal of the system is to reduce nutrients as nitrate and phosphate without lowering the levels of important minerals, like calcium and magnesium, and carbonate hardness, which are also adjusted to a natural reef environment.
In order for the ZEOvit method to be successful, a few fundamental husbandry techniques and equipment components must also be included in your aquarium's design and operation. These requirements include strong and efficient skimming, lighting appropriate and sufficient for the aquarium's inhabitants, regular weekly water changes, addition of elements at low levels, non-excessive addition of nutrients, and optimum and stabile water parameters (Ca, Mg, KH, Salinity).
The five basic components of the ZEOvit system interact to effectively reduce nutrients, and establish water conditions close to the parameters corals encounter in the natural habitats. The five basic components are:
1. A Balanced Mix of zeolites (ZEOvit).
2. A Microorganism Solution (ZEObak).
3. A combination of Bacteria and Coral Food (ZEOfood)
4. Bacteria Food (ZEOstart)
5. Constant Filtration with Activated Carbon
The reduction of nutrients and the establishment of a poor nutrient system results from the interaction between ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, and the zeolite filter media (ZEOvit).The three different zeolites of the media were chosen because of their ability to reduce certain toxins in a balanced manner. It is important to "clean" the ZEOvit filter media daily to maintain optimum performance. The filter device which holds the ZEOvit (commonly referred to as a "reactor") is specifically designed to accomplish this task within a minute. However, it is not detrimental to overall system performance if you are unable to perform this task for several days.
The interaction between ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, and the zeolite filter media (ZEOvit) produces a "mulm". The "mulm", released from the ZEOvit material, contains bacteria that is used as food by the corals. This is very important because it provides nutrients to the animals, and has a very positive impact on the colors, polyp extension and vitality of the corals. Large Polyped Corals (LPS) react with fully expanded tissue.
Certain other elements are adsorbed as well, and require replacement to counteract depletion. We strongly recommend replenishing those elements, and we offer supplements to be used with this system for that purpose.
The ZEOvit method can be successfully used with bare-bottom (BB), shallow sand bed (SSB), deep sand bed (DSB), and Berlin-style system designs. The use of live rock (LR) is not required. UV sterilizers, ozonizers, and nutrient exporting macroalgae refugia are not compatible with the ZEOvit method.
This post is just a brief review of the ZEOvit system.

Yup Rob will still scape the top part over the overflow. Just need to figure out how to do this
As for comparison with my old 295- g - that's a tough question!!
Both is difference in terms of look but this shallow tank just makes maintainability so much easier, which is great for me.

NO MORE MICRO BUBBLES…..
NO MORE MICRO BUBBLES…..
Last night hook up my hammerhead again and voila….no more micro bubbles!!
I WISH ….. the micro bubbles is a lot less now but still can be seen
I’m going to let it run for a week or so for the pipes to slim in before deciding what to do next??
However, the humming does seem a lot less compare to before I replace the leaking seals but still a little loud for my liking!!
Hmmmm…...!! what to do…what to do??
:mad2:
