How do you like running the canister? What do you have inside and how often do you clean it?

It's my 1st time using a canister filter. It works pretty well. I took all the plastic bio balls out. Just running a big bag of carbon now, but the 1st of the month I plan on doing a 10% water change and adding new bigger carbon bag and also phos grade bag. I usually clean the front glass and right side glass once every other day with a magfloat. Not cleaning the back glass or side with the pump, wanting to grow corals and coraline algae. Really just letting it take care of itself. The crabs have been keeping the sand bed clean for me.

Do you run your MP10 at 100% or what level would you say it is at?

I run mine on constant at 50% all the time. When I feed i dial it down to its lowest level. About 15 mins after fish are done eating i run it at 100% for about 3 mins to blow everything around and get any food that might have settled on the sanded off, then back to 50%.

I have the same tank but am looking into running something other than the bio wheel for filtration. I also was not sure if the AI nano would be enough light for the tank but looking at your tank the corals look great! Nicely done!

Nice setup. Does the light sit in the middle of the tank? I have the same tank with a Sol blue hanging from the ceiling. I would rather hang with the mount you have.
