Been keeping a 70G semi-reef for about 20 years and have had great "luck" in keeping it thru 2 ice storms...you name it, more on my tank another time, my question is about a PS..I thinking of getting a AquaC EV-120 ps any thoughts on this unit ????? This tank has hang on back unit seems to work, just want more horse power.

All help is appreaciated !!

THX in advance
Dick

Welcome to 3reef!
I have the 180 model and the Remora and have had great luck with them and love them both. IMO, AquaC makes a great product!

Welcome to 3reef, glad to have you aboard.
Aqua C makes a great product. I had a remora on my 55g but I bought my 265g used and it came with a skimmer on it but have been looking at the EV-400 to possibily upgrade too, so I would tell that I don't think your going wrong with a Aqua C on your tank.

jackfrost is doing something  right

I would recomend a Precision Marine Bullet 2.

I had (still have as a spare) an Aqua C EV-240 and I thought it was great, ... until I tried a Bullet 2.

HOLY COW !!!

The difference was incredible !

The performance is night and day from the Aqua C. Don't get me wrong, the EV-240 was no dud, but the PM bullet 2 is more consistent in performance, requires less adjustments and pulls out the most nasty and smelly stuff I have ever seen. My tank is a 120G.

The down side is that it requires more muscle on the pump. I use a Pan world 150ps with my bullet.
