Fusion 10G with 32 SPS frags!.FTS/video for December 2016. Pg#15

So thanks to Aqua Cave, I got my IM 10 today and just finished transferring everything from my 7.5G!

Equipment:

Kessil A160we

Nuvo Fusion 10

JBJ auto top off

Jebao WP10(MP10WES controlled my Apex Jr. all the way from my living room)

Intank media basket

 

Live stock:

Yellow watchman goby with two pistol shrimp pair! I think that one of my PS died. :(

Black and white clown

candy canes(100% SPS now) and a few encrusting SPS like orange monti and purple haze. (Went back to mixed reef due to my troubles with sps, so my candy canes are back).

Hammer coral (It's back!)

 

 

Cleaner shrimp (Killed my B/W clown)

 

I love the tank so far, no issues whatsoever with bad silicon, etc.

BUT, I think that the media basket is too small, even though I upgraded it to the $19 one. Maybe Intank has a better one (it is and that's why I have one!). They also covered the back, so you can't see what's going on(just a gripe). The provided powerhead seems pretty weak too, but it seems to be doing the job. Overall, I'm very happy

with my purchase so far.

Great packaging! It came in a box within a box! Thanks Aqua Cave!

And my three buddies hanging out:

 

Edit 02/01/2015: I recently replaced the IM upgraded media basket with the Intank media basket. I like the Intank one better.

I thought the upgraded media rack was crazy small too, I thought I got the wrong one when I opened it up!

 

Grats on being able to get one! I just put a deposit down on the Fusion 20L yesterday!

I know right? I think Aqua Cave had only a few of these, and I got one of them!.

I added my AquaC remora nano skimmer that I took off my NC 28G about a year ago. It fit better than in my NC! Now my tank sounds like a diesel HD truck. Should I leave it running? I do tend to feed the corals, so I might be putting too many nutrients once in a while. Thoughts? I do weekly water changes religiously.

I don't see the set backs of keeping it in, if you don't mind the noise levels then skim on!

At least I can't hear the annoying noise that my WP10 makes when I want to run it on the second speed.

 

Things are settling down:

Tank looks great bud. Mine shipped today, stoked! And I get it on my day off, woot!

Thanks! I have been messing with mine all day today!(it's my day off). I'm looking forward to seeing yours running! How's that FL weather?

Actually really good as of recently, 70's.

My temperature is getting pretty high. Do you think that the MJ1200 could be contributing to this? It's around 82-83 degrees.

Possibly, that's always a concern of mine as well, the extra heat from the MJ1200. Do you have the spinstream? I'm worried the MJ1200 will make the spinstream splash out of my tank.

 

Also looking into the WP-10, how do you like it?

I don't have the spinstream. I like the WP-10 because it's super small, but for some reason it's pretty loud in any speed setting other than the lowest one. ELSE mode is too much. I would look into the RW-4, which some say it's even smaller and has more controls.

Yeah if I did anything it would probably be the RW-4. I'm going to save for my Radion first though. Hopefully this damn spinstream isn't too much and I didn't waste my money.

I don't know how the spin stream is going to work correctly, since I had to lower my water level to about 1/2 an inch, so that the water would not go over the media basket.

Do you have the upgraded baskets?

I have been running without my skimmer for a day and the temperature has gone down at least 2 degrees, so I think that the MJ1200 was generating too much heat. I'm going to go skimmerless like my NC28G.
