My Reeftec in action

[Achilles Tang]

Hi everyone,

Here's a video of my tangs surfing in the current provided by my reeftec unit.

My powder blue tang, recently acquired, loves surfing the cone-wave generated!

In this video, you will see a powerhead (not switched on) but I left in there so you can see the size diffs between the reeftec and the powerhead. Hmmmm.. actually not a fair comparison as the powerhead is on the back glass and the Reeftec is in the middle of the side glass.

My gorgonians and the sea fan (also recently acquired) loves the current provided.

Their polyps are all open during feeding time!

And one more thing... my tank is very messy now as I have not landscaped anything due to the tank shifting and it's a temporary home because in two weeks time, my tank contents should all be moved into their new home!

Note: this video is large and will take a few minutes to finish loading... so be patient!

Hi AT,

Nice reeftec unit u had must be ex lor, i like it.....

[Achilles Tang]

Thanks ECBM, yeah its expensive comparatively to PHs... but its unique current generating abilities makes it worth it!

I like it when the tangs avoid the cone wave and then suddenly jumps on it and rides the wave, shooting across the tank! They really seem to think they are back in the wild! Heh!

wah they seem to really like it!

how much is the reeftec, AT? where did u get it? ordered from overseas?

[Achilles Tang]

Yes, the Reeftec kits are procured from overseas... the pump from the local distributor... who is out of stock of the PE-1.

He only brought in 2 units.... one with me, one with a koi guy.

I have to wait a long time again to get hold of another unit!

Maybe if the PE-2 pump can fit into the Reeftec PE-1 unit... I dunno... need to contact Reeftec.

Achillies Tang,

How much is the reeftec ?

Can I buy it locally or is there a mass order in progress.

regards

[Achilles Tang]

The reeftec mod kits you can order direct from www.reeftec.com.

Because the brackets can be modified to whatever you want, you should communicate with the designer eg. euro-bracing, nail to wooden hood etc.

The PE-1 pump is the problem now as locally there is no stock. The distributor is reluctant to bring in as there is no demand for this pump.

Perhaps I can see if I can do a mass order.. how many of you are interested?

Achicllies tang,

Do you require to link the reeftec + pump to a wave maker ?

[Achilles Tang]

Its very much up to you. I am going to link it with a timer on my new tank.
