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.

Vortech mp10 coming next week. F.ck maxis and lineal flow, s()cks ass. I wasted 3hrs trying to get good flow, ended up leaving just one maxi-jet in.

hahahahahahaha I thought the same thing but I see it as a curse.

 

Good to hear that, the squamosa grows so fast is not even funny man. She will outgrow your 120g in no time. Lets eat it when doesnt fit your tank anymore lol

lol, I hope to keep everything growing now and not to add anything, but if I see a nice pice I may have to get it! The squamosa def is growing like crazy! I loce sushi, but that would be one expensive piece of sushi, lol.

 

One a side note.... Why are you selling your lights? 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.

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 :|

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.

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
