ok not much change for awhile other then switching from the warner marine k2, to a vertex alpha 200, while the WM is a beast and would be a solid skimmer for a 120 heavy stocked to a stocked 180, and ability to not really dial the extra like the flow to air on the alpha, thought about selling it and trying a atb this time, but really liking this skimmer and i could easily upgrade tanks with this skimmer, but any how other then a few more frags and the addition of 2 fish, nothing changed but growth as a good thing, been trying something also

 

[afernandez]

Love that skimmer! When I upgrade I'm thinking of going with that skimmer.

The tank looks nice and healthy .

 

[NYreefNoob]

out of all the skimmers ive owned this is by far the best skimmer yet, the slow solid rise of the bubbles, dead silent and love being able to adjust the air intake and water pull

Angelo, it's a Vertex Alpha model.

Astonishing Angel fish Rick. Never seen one like that before. Where did you get it from?

Rick the tank looks great, just a quick question on placement of the Vortechs, why do you have them on both sides versus opposite sides?

ty richie, i did it this way cause the other side of the tank is a viewing side as well and with my rock work it just works out better and i have the mp40's on anti-sync
