Esqueleto Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Nice. How long have you had it running? Thanks, its 1 month old, howerver a few corals came from my old 45 cube when I took it down and the live rocks but everything else its new. Im still waiting for the maxis and some stuff I ordered. Trying to keep a balance between the 20L AIO and this one. Link to comment

Im always looking on CL for deals and found your post because of your FTS. LOL the most expensive sushi ever..... The lightning fixtures I posted on CL are not the ones from my Breeder, the FTS is marketing strategy LOL I think Ill get rid of my 20L AIO lightning system because its getting hot with the halide. Im going LEDs for the small tank and keep my 40B with halides wich are my favorite bulbs I might add some RBs to the breeder for more pop but Im still figuring out how to add leds without adding some uggly heatsink over my tank.

Esqueleto Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 vortech is here good bye Maxis!!!! Link to comment
Smity Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Good start... LOL vortech isn't all that, you should have invested in a pair of Tunze's. You'll be re-reading this 1 year when the bearings start to make noise. I swapped my MP10 for a pair of 6045's and couldn't be happier. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Dude, yer gonna love that pump! Link to comment
Esqueleto Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Good start... LOL vortech isn't all that, you should have invested in a pair of Tunze's. You'll be re-reading this 1 year when the bearings start to make noise. I swapped my MP10 for a pair of 6045's and couldn't be happier. I will go that route whenever I get the $500 to get the Apex controller again. Sold mine and regret it :| Link to comment
Anna576 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Is the one mp10 enough on your 40b? I can't decide if I should get one or two.... what setting are you running it on? Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 beautiful shots! How do you get so much purple Coraline algae? Link to comment
Esqueleto Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 beautiful shots! How do you get so much purple Coraline algae? Thank you. I use purple up every once in a while, I guess is due to that and the water flow in the tank. It might be the water changes I do twice a week(5g) too. Link to comment
Esqueleto Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Is the one mp10 enough on your 40b? I can't decide if I should get one or two.... what setting are you running it on? Yes, the MP10 is enough for my setup, I wont put 2 of them in one 40g breeder unless you want to go 100% SPS Link to comment
llama roadkill Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Any updates? Very cool tank. Link to comment
Esqueleto Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 thanks, this tank is not running anymore, got tired of it and sold it. Now Im building a 90g RR with DIY live rock for better scaping. Link to comment
