I ran SS on a couple of my older tanks and always loved the movt they offered. If I get back into the hobby again I will use them and from the sounds of the improvements that have been made they will work even better than before. Your tank is beautiful! I was always told you should not use penductors on the output of SS but I see you use them. Any trouble from doing so?

Yeah I really believe the random currents of the sea swirls really help in the overall coral health and growth. I actually have them on all my tanks a total of 9 sea swirls and no problems. I've been in this hobby for 6 years and they are the best equipment I have ever bought. The Tunze osmolator is a close second but had problems with one of those. I don't run a lot of pressure through the sea swirls, there is a limit.
 
I love those Radium bulbs, pitty there isnt any in South Africa. What pumps are used on the Sea Swirls?
Chris thats one *** chick. Tell me those are not real boobs right?
 
very nice...

What T5 bulbs are your running? I got a single lumenbright 400 with a 14k bulb over a 48x48x24 cube tank and would love to change it for a Radium plus some T5 supplementation, and I love your colors...
 
Some more zoa candy.

Thank you! I believe I have a aquablue special, blue+, figi purple and actinic but I only have them on when the halides are off. These pics are under the halides
 
Tank is still doing well, very happy with the way the corals are liking it. More pics enjoy!

Thanks Ted, hope your tank is coming along nicely! Everything is going great with the tank only problem is with a fish. Seems my mimic tang likes to taste corals:( I have such bad luck with tangs!
 
Some more photos for all that come and look, hope you enjoy them. I'm going to be posting some acro's and lps's soon:rollface:
