Can't speak for the Deltec but I can tell you the Nyos is a beast. Looks the part too. Total beast and so easy to adjust. Had it off during the treatment and can't wait to get it back online. 6 days with no new deaths. As far as Nyos I'd say. It with confidence. You have a large system so go with the 300. I got the 220 for my upcoming 220 build.

Price is relatively the same so I'm just torn
Good to hear about the fish tho I'm glad
It's so sad when that happens.
Do u think the manufacturer is correct on the amount of gallons it can skim?
Also my ADHD kicked in there sorry about that

Lol no worries same here as far as ADHD. I oversized mine. It's supposedly rated up to 1000 gallons. I overfeed when I have my stocklist filled so it helps. When the fish were going like flies it was working efficiently. I bought a Swanee as well which I'll be installing once I get it running again.

Hey guys since I'm in no fish in DT mode I decided to concentrate on some inverts. Also filled the QT system with the first introductions for when the time is right. No deaths in 6 days as of today. Anyhow here are some pics.

My fave animal! Would love a dark purple one!

locito277 · Dec 17, 2016

Hey guys here's an update. Added lots of inverts recently. Added a lawnmower blenny to see if the massacre is over and so far so good. Stress free entry and he is perfect after 5 days. Anyways to the pics

The new residents on carpet anemone island. Have a pink one arriving next week.

I wish she would have settled here but anemones will do what they want!

Opposite side of the aquarium ended up being for the tubes!

Big purple found her spot. She is inching out more and more to the light now

This guy is massive. Found a seller here on R2R who's tank it was outgrowing. Must be close to 2 ft around.

Added lots of new stars. Lots of them

locito277 · Dec 17, 2016

The survivors!

More stars!

Neon green

Gorgonians are flourishing

Not easy getting them to stick in a 4 ft deep tank.

locito277 · Dec 17, 2016

Another cool star

I will never not drop acclimate a linkia. What a difference in survivability.

Toadstool is doing great. The purples cave. Dying to find a. Ice Walt smith Fiji yellow leather. If anyone sees one let me know. Thx.

Just a gorgeous carpet.

This last picture shows you how large the carpet truly is.

FTS one side

Some leather coral
Although my CUC found a spot more to their liking lol. Actually a much nicer spot to grow from.

She has finally come out of her cave and while being in there took the LTA anemone crab. She is massive and all bubbled up. Those clowns have a beautiful home awaiting them. Can't wait for my LTA to come out of that cave. It's a large dark purple one and it's really frustrating me :-(.
