Does anyone use a SCWD?

I was looking into them thinking it would be a cool idea. Every review I have found is great, I just want to hear it from someone else before I invest.

Just plan for it, the unit itself is HUGE! Pics are deceiving.

For the 1" ? Like How big... I guess I should look up specs.

i have the 3/4 and i love it, :up:

I have the 3/4" inch one on the wife's tank, and it does a good job. I'd buy the 1" if I had it to do over since it can be taken apart and cleaned, etc. IMO all it will do is make you want to buy an Ocean's Motion, so why don't you just skip the middleman? LOL

I am thinking the 1" for my 92. I think I would run it on a closed loop. I am still trying to figure out how I want this tank set up. I think instead of PH I would like to just use a pump to circulate. This makes my tank anemone proof. I was thinking the SCWD would be a sweet addition and make for some pretty happy clowns and corals. I really have grown a bit of a hatred for my K3's.

I just looked that up Berry. Sweet, but the price dictates that comes with a larger salary.

I use the 3/4" one with a Mag 12 and love it. Corals like it too i guess since they get that water current change and the Mp40. You can't go wrong with it though.

Maybe I could get away with the 3/4 and a mag 12 my self. I just want every thing closed loop. Maybe I could use the 1/2 in on my sump return, run a mag 7 or so on it. That would give me some pretty nifty switching currents in the tank.

Go 1".
As stated you can take apart and clean that model.

I run the 3/4 on my 120. I'm going to be pulling it off though since I'm getting the new koralias that I can run on my wavemaker. You have to clean them often to keep them from hanging up so I would also recommend the 1".

1" it is. Thanks guys!
