Insane flow upgrade, for free!!!

I've been contemplating doing this change for a while, tonight with the help of some tie wraps, I was able to hang the MJ mods from my Sea Swirls and have them rotate in a fan motion randomly, this has produced one of the best flows I've seen in this tank, as the sea swirls rotate left to right they make the power head flow spread for a few seconds in 90 degree angle.
I also resolved the issue with these PH's sucking air from the surface because now they are a few inches lower than before.
Hope you enjoy the pics.

Nice pair of crosshatchs!

There nothing better than cheap flow. I'm wondering if the extra torque and weight on the Seaswirls may kill them?

I've seen other people do it, but have never bother to ask about the long term reliability of them.

I also thought about that, I bet that it will have an impact on the sea swirls, I guess time will tell. so far they survived the night and no major shifting of sand but the whole sand bed looks very clean.

Now all we all need are those free sea swirls you were talking about. Where can I find them? JK

Actually, you can find them used on RC for good price usually around $100 ea.

All that free time in fornt of the tank wondering how Hillary will win sometimes pays off!

no fair, thats what im doing!

reef looks awesome rogger, i absolutely love full grown reef fish. especially fat ones like they look in the wild.

tank looks great!
 
Man Rogger, that first pic looks like looking at a pair of powerheads put in the actual ocean...
I really need to make some time to come by and get an updated view!!
Dam, well my new 90 is in the house and should be set up this weekend. So maybe you could come over, and share some of that (Democratic) brain power, and give me few tips on how to make it better.
 
Mel, the tank finally came off the downhill that it took when I first moved it, it has been steadily getting better, I am sure you will be able to notice this next time you come around.

Man o man I NEED a bigger tank.

Wait till next year, I promise you that as soon as Hillary takes over the economy will start to get better and you will be able to get your bigger tank. ;)

Ohh :eek2: That's right, my economy will get better :D oh well!
 
Sigh, I thought your tank back in the day was nice...

That thing just looks ridiculous now...

Very very nice...

Yea Rogger, I thought it was great before you had the fish crash. It looks now like it's grown back 300%. Like the economy under McCain zing. lol. It's so difficult making decisions while being a moderate....

I've got to come by to 1. see the tank, 2. pick up some algae free mods, and 3. see if the other shipment came in :D

BTW it's nice seeing butterflies in your tank. I remember we had the discussion about your friend's tank how he's got all the butterflies and angels, and still gets insane growth.
