jball1125 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 So I bit the bullet and added an MP10WES. All I have to say is "BAD ASS".... Looks so sleek and the controls are awesome. Still learning the system but so far I dig it. Link to comment
JR! Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 youre gonna be so glad you did Link to comment
jball1125 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 youre gonna be so glad you did I already am, the looks and size alone are worth the price to me. I also dont know why some complain about noise, this thing is silent, my AC70 makes more noise for sure. The fact that I might not be using it at its full potential on such a small tank doesnt bother me, plus Its one less thing to worry about if and when I decide to upgrade to something bigger.

GalaThoun Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 mp10 looks awesome. Christmas is just around the corner, hmmm.... Link to comment
owenj Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 mp10 looks awesome. Christmas is just around the corner, hmmm.... Doooooo iiitttt!! Looks great Jball! The MP10 is great. I think the noise complaints tend to be more for when it's going 100%, & also an issue with the bearings as the unit gets older. There are a couple good pictorial threads here & on other forums detailing how to go about cleaning/changing the bearings. Link to comment

The settings are sweet and you will have a good time playing through the various settings. I'm a reef crest (yellow) man. Your only problem will be keeping the sand storm under control haha.

Deleted User 3 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ok let me just say that photographing clowns is freaking impossible, lil dude wont keep still!!!!!! Some pics of the Hammer My fish (clownfish as well) are hard to photograph. They dont usually sit still for me, and are afraid of the silver on my lens of my camera I have to take like 30 photos to get maybe 1 okay one. He looks cool! Link to comment

He looks cool! I must have taken 60+ pictures to get the 3 crappy ones that I did. Wish my camera had better zoom quality because he does calm down a bit when I'm out of sight, but as soon as he sees me he starts the begging. Link to comment

jball1125 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 I need a way to cool my tank down, the temps are fine at 78 when I am home and the air is on. However, when I leave in the morning and turn off the wall mounted AC in my apartment the temps start to rise, got up to 85 today. I have been thinking of one of those that works in conjunction with the heater and comes on alternatively. Also thinking about switching the plexiglass top to egg crate. I should mention that my AC70 provide plenty of surface agitation so I am not sure if that means I have no choice but to get a chiller?????? Link to comment
Psychosis Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 When you get the RKL or Apex, it would be an easy process to hook up a fan and control other elements heating the tank to keep temps low. Forget the chiller for a tank this size, I'd invest in the controller. In the mean time, hooking up a fan to a timer could work. About 5 minutes every hour should do it. You will have problems with evaporation with this setup though. I'd just spring for the RKL to solve all of these problems. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Will a fan on a controller be enough if the room temperature is getting up to 85? Link to comment
jball1125 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well I sprung for the APEX lite!!!!!! Any recommendations on what fan to use with it? Link to comment
