For others reference, they no longer sell replacement impellers for the old Tunze. You need to get lucky finding some excess ones on eBay. They consider 12 years to be the upper limit of the lifespan of the motor circuitry and they quite making the 6100 in 2008. They quit making the impellers in 2019.

Thanks! Will try that tomorrow!

Does anyone know where to get replacement impellers for older Tunze Streams - 6100.10. I think the latest part number for the impeller is tunze 6100.700 but I can't find them anywhere. I have 5 of these still working that I don't want to have to replace because them impellers are work. Thanks. Brett

I do the same - I pour it on landscaping rocks to help keep the weeds out.

Had a new brand new picasso clown get in mine two days ago - turned the tank lights out and put a light (iPhone light) on the glass against the overflow with a net already in position. It swam to the light and we were able to lift the net up under it.

I use hot glue instead of the zip ties

I got exposed to palytoxin by washing a frag rack with some on it under hot water. Some steam must have gotten some it in. I noticed a slight irritation in my throat. Stopped immediately (threw the rack out) - did what I could to rinse my mouth, etc... A few hours later I had labored breathing, I got chills, low oxygen levels in the blood, etc... I was put on oxygen and it cleared up. The exposure must have been minor sense I couldn't have inhaled that much vapor and it was only for a few seconds - but it still had a bad affect. If you were exposed you would know by now I agree with the other comments in the thread about cuts and other infections though - especially those darn tube worms!!!!

I use IO or RC and have recently tried the tropic marine bio pro (or something like that). I did not notice the advantage of the pro but I did not use it long enough to tell nor were my water changes frequent enough to see any benefit so I will reserve judgement on whether their Bio grade salt is worth the extra money. That being said, regardless if what salt I use, I keep magnesium chloride,(or sulfate) calcium chloride and soda ash on hand to adjust the ca mag and alk levels of every new salt batch to where I like them before I use it. I find this method to be the best. It takes a small amount of extra effort but it is worth it to have full control over those levels. I use the online reef calculator to determine how much of each supplement to add after I test the new mix. Tons of TOM winners use instant ocean and reef crystals so that is my norm too.

Thanks! The next task is to move the emperor angle into the 210 from the 110. So far he has been a model citizen. I just need to make sure the 210 can handle the bio-load. I am thinking of turning an old calcium reactor into a recirculating bio-pellet reactor that allows you to control the flow through the unit while keeping the pellets tumbling. LMK if anyone has any experience doing this!

A fellow reefer took some awesome shots These were all shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Tamron 90mm Macro Lens. Coral shots are on-tripod with a remote shutter, and the Fish shots are in-hand. More specific details about each shot (aperture, shutter, ISO) are available on Flickr under actions > view Exif Info if you are interested.

Two more reds. Red dragon Red star cyphastrea

Red Robin stag for red Carl's candlelight for yellow.

A beauty of a beauty. I have had one for 6 years and it has left all corals alone.

These look like the right parts and the specs match. I will order them and see. There is no part number on the outlet. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Schurter/43000703/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMv8PvWV2SVHv0Hn1HXYyvkzRgzRbeyVL5Y%3d

Does anyone know where to buy replacement outlets for the DC8? I found the triacs but I forgot that when the last one went bad the outlet overheated.
