[HondaB20B]

anybody know where i can get like a magdrive 1 or 1.5 or similar.
need a small pump that only doing about 100-150gal to run a phosban reactor.

[sharkman121]

why u doh use one a dem maxi -jet, theyre quite efficient. I bought a few from amazon the other day.

Using them to run phosban reactor and a carbon filter.

[HondaB20B]

really was looking to get one today, today

[HondaB20B]

why you running a carbon filter if you using chemi-pure?

[sharkman121]

nah i only got the chemi pure bout 2 wks ago from raj....bought the big 5lb cntr of activated carbon from marine depot some months aback. works great.

EcoTech Marine Pumps Deliver More Flow than Promised

New study proves that the flow from the VorTech family of pumps exceeds even the company's own advertised claims

EcoTech Marine, the company that revolutionized the reef aquarium propeller pump, is pleased to announce the results of a scientific study on flow rates published in this month's edition of Advanced Aquarist.

Dr. Sanjay Joshi, Ph.D., professor of Industrial and Manufacturing at the Pennsylvania State University, conducted the study. He used a proven method to most accurately determine the output flows of several leading aquarium propeller pumps. The study scientifically shows the entire VorTech line delivers superior flow rates far in excess of what EcoTech Marine itself was claiming in its own marketing and advertising.

The MP40, the VorTech that started it all, delivers 18.2% more than its advertised claim of 3200 GPH—netting 3781 GPH in the study.

The MP10, ideally situated for tanks smaller than 50 gallons, has an advertised flow rate of 1575 gallons per hour (GPH). The study showed a GPH of 2460—a 56.2% increase over the advertised amount.

The MP60, ideally suited for larger tanks, has an advertised rate of 7500 GPH. It delivered 8509 GPH in the controlled study—an increase of 13.5%.

"At EcoTech Marine, we pride ourselves on delivering technologically superior products with exceptional value," said Tim Marks, president of EcoTech Marine. "Using the most accurate equipment and technology possible to measure water flow, Dr. Joshi looked at a wide range of pumps from a variety of manufacturers. The fact the VorTech delivered superior results is a testament to our unrelenting commitment to engineering and manufacturing the most advanced products in the industry."

In an effort to standardize the flow measurements and claims for powerhead manufacturers, EcoTech enlisted the help of Dr. Sanjay Joshi to design a study utilizing the latest in analytical techniques available. To perform the study, Dr. Joshi used a Sontek 10-MHz Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter in a 350-gallon aquarium. The velocity profile of the pump exit flow was measured at a distance of one diameter downstream from the output of the pumps, and this measurement was used to determine the volume flow rate output.

"We're very pleased with the results of the study," said Marks. "The loyalty of EcoTech Marine customers has been rewarded. Reef aquarists purchase a pump for an expected performance, the most important of which is flow rate. We'd rather under-promise and over-deliver any day of the week to earn our customer’s loyalty."

yeh remember going through this a couple months aback....the had some pretty nice info.

[HondaB20B]

i started using the B-ionic last wk and it working real good. Coraline has jumped drastically again. Already saw on some of the base rock and on the glass. The existing purples, reds, pinks and greens has darkened also

Sharkman, no petshop stocks copepods...................just put rock in the refuge and they will come

simple as that huh..

ahhmmm............................ thats how i running mine. just go by raj and buy more live rock and put it in d sump nah. they will start to multiply

sharkman, its just over a wk now and the live rock (which was n my tubs outside ) that i placed in the refuge for the copepods & amphipods to multiply, has more than quadrupled in population. When it was first placed into the sump, to me at the time wasnt really much.
It has increased so much in my main tank, that when i was cleaning my front and rear viewing glass, there were a whole bunch of them living between the mag-float cleaner and the glass. Counted over 20 of them on each mag-float.
Thts why i told you...............
just put rock in the refuge and they will come
