Nate has been upgraded to a Hurricane. Looks like it's protected to make land fall about 100-150 miles from FWB. It's fast moving and I don't think we will see much damage but I did pull all the plants in. I am wishing good luck to those of us farther west. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also have the same thing in my build thread. 12v Optima Red top BatteryMINDER charges/maintains battery I bought the battery backup cable for my Vortech off of the parts section of Echotech site. Cut off the battery end plug and crimped on two terminal lugs. Attached the fuses line to (+) and the other to (-) of course. I have calculated about 3 days runtime. Advantages this has Longer run time on battery power Better battery period Could have used a cheaper battery and the set up would even cost less but I already had this battery. If battery goes bad, easy to replace. Car batteries are sold at Walmart 24/7. I can even buy more batteries on really long outages for more running time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like a great time. Be sure you all take lots of pictures. Have a fun safe trip!

I think you are talking about my battery back up or even Big Dog's. I use a car battery to power my Vortechs and a BatteryMINDER to keep it charged. Works wonders and has been well tested/used. Saved my tank during a 12 hour power outage this June. Occurred the day after I left for a month! Result was zero casualties, intact I don't think anything had the slitest problem. If not for that my reef would have died, I'm certain. its 100% automatic with enough juice to run my MP60 for 2+days!

I'll be making an order this week for Berghia Nudibranchs from SaltyUnderground.com. If you are also interested in buying some please let me know and we could get extra nudis and split the shipping. text me ASAP 6two3-81zero 8685 Aaron

I had to leave last Wend night and would you know it, the next morning 10 hour power outage. Possible I could get someone to swing by the house to take a look at things for me? My wife says things look ok but I am concerned about a 10 pack of ACROs i just got in from Battle Corals. Also may need you to fill and mix my Kalk ATO and check my ALK with my Hanna dKH Checker. Cant use cell, just basic internet service so please reply or PM me here.

Still playing around with the powerheads to find the perfect flow programs/patterns. It's work, but fun work. With an MP60+ 2 each Tunze 6105s I'm pushing over 80x my display volume at max output. I've put the wide flow nozzles on the Tunzes and that works out great! With the narrow ones I was getting really great flow velocity but literally pushing water out of the tank lol. All three are controlled via APEX so I've got some pretty nice programs that have really brought out the acro's PE. Not even a slight dead spot to speak of and I've got really cool push button feed modes. Each programed to do a different type of feed. I've got a program for spot feeding corals, another for broadcast feeding, then one for fish pellets, and the last is for frozen stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
