Thanks for the review Dev and thanks for the tare down:)

[@ReefDudes]

Welcome! I always try to answer all the questions I would be asking

[@Anton-42]

So excited to save some $$ and get one of these 😊

[@julzalexander]

Thanks for the review Devon. Can you get black impellers? That teal colour is an eye sore if the pump is something you want to “hide” in the tank

[@Fish_Ventura]

Thx Devon

[@CopperStateCorals]

Nice video Dev. Off topic question- I see you Flipper is always in the tank. Do you ever take this out? Whats your maintenance routine for it? TIA

[@Sammy31Dee]

I have a similar waterbox ...i use 3 gyres....two on sides of overflow in vertical fashion....one on end of pennisula in horizontal placement....then i have one standard (slw30) powerhead in center of overflow....they do good flow but what a pain to clean these....it is worth the effort though

[@PhilipCarnevale007]

@reefdudes Devon, did you put the backside magnet below the waterline in the overflow?

[@ReefDudes]

It’s below the water line

[@PhilipCarnevale007]

Cool ok, wasn’t sure if it was water safe.

[@briankavanagh7191]

Devon, can you increase the speed increments by 5 i.e. 55, 60, 65, 70 etc, etc, instead of the 10 increments I have on my Maxspect?

[@ReefDudes]

You can do 1% increments via the app :)

[@TrevorHiller]

The black blades look way better IMO

[@queencityreefs]

So it appears that the dry side of the magnet can be submerged in water like the nero ones?

[@ReefDudes]

Yep :) that’s my theory

[@cameronbasford8991]

The magnet is ok to have underwater?

[@oldschoolnewventure845]

nice tank

[@ReefDudes]

Than you!

[@Nolimitsenju]

I got the orbit 2 and it just shuts off randomly. It seems to only do it on pulse.

[@TheRobTuber]

No concerns with it blocking waste from entering the overflow placed there?

[@ReefDudes]

Nada, still plenty of water flowing through the system

[@TheDesertraptor]

I just added a Wave25 to my 425. Pity this didnt come out a few weeks back

[@TonysCorals]

How can you put the Dry side in the water inside the weir box wont it degrade??

[@ReefDudes]

Yep! I asked ok my stream (and have been doing it)

[@TonysCorals]

@@ReefDudes Thats cool I wonder if the Red sea reefwaves 45s are the same.

[@82thegonz]

hopefully these run better than the maxpect ones, that theyre modeled after

[@dirtyprinz224]

It does I don’t hear anything I have the orbit 2

[@EugeneRu777]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@donot2639]

How long is cable to controller nobody is telling this important fact for tanks over 5 feet

[@marcramey9529]

It would be awesome if they would open up the API to the Hydros controller.

[@Merknilash]

This is cool but I just don't know why I would want this over the Red Sea gyre? They're both white labels

[@ReefDudes]

If you already have other AI/ecotech/neptune gear it would intergrste better and be controllable under a single interface rather than jumping between apps to kick off feed mode. And what not

[@sayurasem]

They should’ve name this pump axis instead of orbit

[@ReefDudes]

Too late :P
