Honestly can't say enough great things about my 40. It will be a purchase you will enjoy daily.

SchmittyG · 08/31/2017, 11:45 AM

PNorris11 — Love your left corner work, I may have to steal that for mine. Hows the dual mp10's working out? Im saving up for a second one for my tank. I think the flow will be much better, yeah?

I have had mine for about 7 months now and love it. I've had much larger tanks in the past and just don't have the time or space for a big tank currently. I'm running black box leds and a reefbrite strip over mine and it's doing fantastic. I have pictures on here if you want to see examples. I built my own stand as I'm very particular on my stands plus I used to be a custom cabinet builder.

All in all...ive seen some aio tanks and this is the first to impress me at all. I've kept tanks for over 25 years.

The MP10s work great. I still have small dead spots even with two so I think it really helps if you want to keep high flow corals like Acropora.

Here are a few better photos during the day:

How is that flame Angel doing? Any nips at the corals?

Yes, I'll admit two Pygmy angels in this tank was questionable. Both him and the Lemonpeel will nip occasionally at zoanthids or some LPS.

It's not destructive though and they don't bother Acro or Torch corals which is most of what I keep so it works for now.

Is that a Tunze 9004 I see there? Looks like you have it positioned pretty low in the chamber, is your water level just that low? Seems like it'd be too submerged.

I have my 9004 roughly flush with the top of the tank rim.

I actually have both the Tunze and the Ghost on here. I've had some difficulty skimming lately. If I don't skim wet than I'm not collecting much of anything.

Do you have any advice? I have the DC on the 9004 set to max air-water but I can't seem to get it dialed in like it was a few months ago.

Clean the air port from pump, my aquamaxx was not getting enough air due to salt build up.

Hey all, saltwateraquarium website is having a 10% to 20% off on Vortech pumps this weekend. Just thought I'd spread the love 😎

AZReef13 · 09/02/2017, 08:42 AM

AirwayBill; what do you have bottom right?

Sailfin; I noticed that MD is doing something similar this weekend too.

SchmittyG; what setting are you using on MP10?

There is a red and blue rock flower and a rainbow torch on that side bottom right. Not sure which you were asking about.
