Streams Added

I thought you added tunze streams not sea swirls??

corals do look like they love it.

Ooppppssss

looks nice congrats on doing such a good job hiding them also

love the pics = not a salt water keeper my self but still admire the pics heaps

awesome pic's, REALLY nice stealth job on the streams!

Thanks for the comments everyone makes me feel good

Chim I will have to meet you one day to see that humor, Why don't you Reef and his brother come down over the holidays<>motive want some twig fish

:lol: maybe one day!

Nice layout must say most excellent job on the streams A++ Something a little off topic I am about to set up lighting almost the same as yours do you notice the light in your eyes when watching tv etc etc

I don't watch TV but Frog who is a news and motor racing fan said no more than other lighting in the room. You may be able to have your lights lower to the tank than mine, my tank is only .550high which controls the height of the lights from the bottom of the tank. I got this info from a book I may stand corrected if it's wrong?.

Hi Fay

I like your streams - I have some as well - Have you set them up in the corners? and have you programmed them with a controller?

Thanks

Chris

Yes and Yes

Optimal placement for the streams is to have one running in one direction down the back, and second running down the front in the opisite direction. This creates a whirlwind type of current, moving more water www.tunze.com

Looks good Fay. If you notice any bubbles in the tank is from cavitation, where the pump is trying to suck water but can't because its inlets are blocked (say by rock from your photo). If this happens either slow down the pump (controller or the blue box) or remove the obstructions.

Go the streams.

Pie

Thanks Pies no bubbles as yet. I have the controller on one pump at a time my tanks not wide enough to take them going together to powerful, I would rather have each one up high pulsing down to 30% up to 85%,

any higher and they cause unnatural force. All the corals and leathers loving it, fish seem too love it to my only worry at the moment is my sick fish.

P.S. After sales service from Reef helping me set the controller properly was great thanks Reef.

any tips on how to convince the wife to allow me to buy some streams?

Chim,

Now that is funny

Do what I did:

Ordered them from Al because he said I could pay them off, I was going to get them in March but since he made this offer I made an executive decision and ordered them.

FROGS response:

Hit the roof in front of the new student we were training for Xmas (lucking I had warned her about our frank discussions) After he came down to earth he told me to just buy them now never mind tic :D

Chim, tell her if A wants a playmate she better consider it!

any tips on how to convince the wife to allow me to buy some streams?

Buy them for your wife as a presant, she will love it

ha haaaa, true that! i think i'll just buy them after xmas and THEN tell her

dan from nz BEST one yet I love it

thanks, I have been told I have to put a ring on her finger before i get my tank, anyone got a donut shapped tank for sale??? :lol:

not a bad idea, but she will either:

1. scream/yell until february 2013

2. divorce me on the spot

3. say thank you honey, its the thought that counts

I'm picking 1 or 2 are most likely scenario's...

Thanks for the info Fay, I was a little worried i might have to sit and watch TV with my sunglasses on

Reef

Really happy with streams;

Next question I would like to get the smallest one possible for my 2foot square tank, can I run it off the same controller and would the smallest still be to powerful.

P.S. couldn't use the magnet holders not enough turn only suitable for straight ahead flow, so have stuck with the brackets once I figured out how to use them seem to do a better job for me.

fay,

No problems. a second smaller stream can be run of the same controller.

the small stream is the 6000 model, 7000L p/hour, which can be reduced at the blue box if required
