I had the tabs break off the bracket also. Ended up just super gluing the bracket to the magnet.

What kind of superglue is reef safe? As I said above, I tried silicone glue, but it did not hold.
 
All superglue is made up of the same chemicals...all said to be reef safe. People use the gel style superglue when mounting frags to rock only because it is easier to use.
 
Super glue, Krazy glue, Eastman 910 and similar glues are all a special type of glue called cyanoacrylates. Cyanoacrylates were invented in 1942 by Dr. Harry Coover of Kodak Laboratories during experiments to make a special extra-clear plastic suitable for gun sights. He found they weren't suitable for that purpose, so he set the formula aside. Six years later he pulled it out of the drawer thinking it might be useful as a new plastic for airplane canopies. Wrong again--but he did find that cyanoacrylates would glue together many materials with incredible strength and quick action, including two very expensive prisms when he tried to test the ocular qualities of the substance. Seeing possibilities for a new adhesive, Kodak developed "Eastman #910" (later "Eastman 910") a few years later as the first true "super glue." In a now-famous demonstration conducted in 1959, Dr. Coover displayed the strength of this new product on the early television show "I've Got a Secret," where he used a single drop placed between two steel cylinders to lift the host of the show, Garry Moore, completely off of the ground.

The use of cyanoacrylate glues in medicine was considered fairly early on. Eastman Kodak and Ethicon began studying whether the glues could be used to hold human tissue together for surgery. In 1964 Eastman submitted an application to use cyanoacrylate glues to seal wounds to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Soon afterward Dr. Coover's glue did find use in Vietnam--reportedly in 1966 cyanoacrylates were tested on-site by a specially trained surgical team, with impressive results. According to an interview with Dr. Coover by the Kingsport Times-News:

Coover said the compound demonstrated an excellent capacity to stop bleeding, and during the Vietnam War, he developed disposal cyanoacrylate sprays for use in the battle field.

Right. Unfortunately I was not careful. However, I did use superglue and it is holding tight. Works great.

My only complaint about the pump, is that it is noisier than I would like (tank's in my living room), but heck it is a pump.
 
i just ordered number two i love my pump and now that its run for over a month its super quiet now that i will have two i will tell you what i think but i will again take my time with the packaging i would have never know to do this if it werent for Rodger thank you and reef central

So it has gotten quieter with time?
 
Somehow I missed a lot of posts to this thread. The noise should remedy itself in a few days use. If not, let me know.
 
yes, and number two will be here tommorow i will be able to compare sound might even see if i can video tape them and post a video up here for people to see the AWSOMENESS
 
my 6025 should be here in a few days, UPS says 12/04, so when it comes in ill get pictures of packaging, placement, flow, a video maybe, all the goodies

ill show placement, noise levels, how much water in moves, how far, how wide, the whole sha-bang

im so excited to get it now!
 
pink F is it going in your 29? yea its so good i couldent wait for the 6055 i am hoping its not delayed like yours i think i will use 3 of them and add much more corals and rock in my 50gl
 
yea, its in my 29

i might be abel to point it at the SPS, which are on the far side of the tank, or ill point it at the cornerand let it go crazy

i may also use an old MJ to make more turbulent flow by colliding the two flows, btu id like the look of only yhe tunze adn the fuge feed pump
 
what corals did you keep in your 29?

mine is left side is a tall tower all SPS only, right side is liek 4-5 inches built up and zoas, rics and button polyps, some GSP on there too

i want random flow over the sps, not a big curcle motion always blowing the same direction, hod did it work out for you like this?
 
it made a circle one pump somewherein the tank to randomize it would be good thats why i got the second one i had the tunze in the 29 for a week till i put everything in my new tank
 
cool, ill have to find another pump, the Mj900 im usign now is going to power my big fuge im almost done building, 12 gallons o nthe back of the tank, its like 24x24" haha, its like a HOB sump/fuge, except its standing on its own behind tank
