Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I was thinking of getting 2 - #1s. I figure they are equivalent to Mj900s. But the price...yucky. Have you found them cheaper anywhere online? While I am not a personal fan of buying live stock on the Internet, I have no problem getting equipment. woudl #1s work for a 90 gallon tank?

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I found the cheapest ones at Drs. Foster and Smith. They were even on sale at the time. I would go more than #1s for a 90 gallon. Even #3s.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I believe the #3s were $40 - $50 apiece. Honestly I don't remember exactly, but they were in that range.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I went to Drs foster and smith website to look at them. I am interested, since I am looking to knock the pants off you guys with the way my tank looks. It might help keep cyano away as well. I think I will get two of the #2 powerheads. The description mentioned a suction cup. I thought it was a magnet? I am not a fan of rubber cups as they have almost completely deteriorated in my current set up (damn Rios).

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
It's a magnet covered in a rubber suction cup.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I don't think the K1 will cut it Doc.I had two K2 in my 75 and felt I needed just a tad more.I would go with two K3 in your case.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
so many choices. I may just hang around the tank with a cleaned out pixy stick straw and blow into the tank... I will look into those #3.

Re: Dr Marco's Reef Build
I have #1's in my 55g and am going to get a #2 because it still doesn't seem like enough. I don't think the #1's have enough power behind them for the width of the flow. DEFINATELY not enough for a 90 IMO.
Dr. do you have a pictures of of your current tank? I think you should post some current pictures of your tank so we can follow along in your moving and see the changes and progress. I love seeing pictures of all the tanks so I can see how all of you pro's have stocked and planted them.
