Those are very nice. I am very seriously thinking about picking one up for my 210. Did they come with a bracket to mount them on the tank?

Yep...you cant see it in the pic because its on the back side of it...but its a permanent bracket...and it has a leveling screw on the bottom of the unit. I plan to hang mine in the stand off the side of the trashcan. My goal with my wetdry was to have as much as I could over or in the sump so if there was any leaks it wouldnt matter.

They say they are good for 150gal. That is basing it off there phos stuff and going by the amount per gal on the package. The kent unit said 300gal fresh. So I think one would be good for your 210. I also heard they are making a bigger unit...I just like the size of these.

Nice , new stuff! Your fish are sure looking better. Sounds like the scratching and what not was shipping stress.

Could you measure the hanger and tell me how wide it is? I'm interested to see if it is wide enough that it would hang on the side of the 210.

IDK about that...the one yellow that had is tail fin clamped and hid all the time is not clamped anymore and is swimming more...but I have seen all the fish scrape. Some more than others...but def scraping...like 6 times across the sand bead. I still dont see any outward signs of anything...but I dont know if I think it was just shipping stress. No matter...i'll get them right...they sure are fat and happy right now...friggan pigs lol.

I will take a measure for you tonight when I get home. I think it will fit...it seems pretty wide. If not I dont see why it wouldnt be to hard to make fit...its just plastic. Thats how I felt about my wetdry lol...its just plastic...cut it and make it do what you need.

15/16th's...almost and inch. But I dont see any reason you cant modify it with some more plastic and nylon screws...or glue. Is that wide enough?

Thanks for checking. I'm not sure if it will work or not, I'll take a look tomorrow. Due to the way that my tanks are aranged I have one side of the tank that I can hang things on that won't be visible while viewing the tanks.

Anything new? How are the water parameters with the safe start?
