Hands got itchy last week and bought Grotech ABC+M to try try in my low tech tank....

Amazingly right after my first dose, my low tech SPS shown increased PE which I never seen before. Wonderful product

* feedback is from someone who has low tech tank and little experience in SPS.

Bro, how long did you use it? So far no jam right?

So far no jam though coralline algae seems to be fighting to gain a foothold on it.

Nevertheless I do hear cases from friends whose gadgets stop. So guess I'm lucky.

Try putting your wavemaker directed at it. It helps to turn the toy faster. That's how I'm utilising mine (:

so far so good for mine too, my previous hydor flo got stuck after a short period of time. There is a trick to this if it gets stuck too frequently. I used Vaseline on the internal moving parts, it really helps it move smoothly. I read up about using it in reef tank and understand it has no issue. Mine so far ok on Hydor flo. Hope don't need to use on this gadget

Icic.

Same here. I'm using Vaseline on my rubber gasket to form a tight seal on my bulkhead. No issue to livestock.

But in any case, I think its a good toy to have for small tanks. It helps save some money on buying expensive or bulky wavemakers.

I came to know about it when I was surfing NR. Some bro there used two for his 3ft tank. Very good PE on sps and other lps. That was before the toys got stuck but after fixing it, all good things started coming back again.
