pgrVII Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Updated first post with this picture Finally got a pic of the monti that didn't look like crap Good looking patback! Aweome! I'm suprised you aren't running the mp10 long ways for better flow through the rock Link to comment
patback Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Good looking patback! Aweome! I'm suprised you aren't running the mp10 long ways for better flow through the rock Thanks! The bow front helps it distribute well. If it was length wise it would be a pretty steady flow. I'm trying to create an area of high medium and low flow for different corals. Link to comment

patback Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 how the hell do you think you'll fit a second MP10 in there??? Mp10 is on the 2nd led on reef rest mode. I would put the second one behind the left side rock work and run them both at the lowest setting. . Lol I atleast wanted to try it. Link to comment

You definitely wouldn't have any dead spots in there Although water may just come shooting out of the top Link to comment

But the sicce adds so much flow that I think the RW4 will be overkill Link to comment

But the sicce adds so much flow that I think the RW4 will be overkill i tried a jebao on my 12 l and it was like a hurricane passed over my tank. Switched it to the 2 mp10s and sold the jebao after like 3 days. Sicce are nice,I got mine from hillbilly, mines not at its full flow though as it runs through a Hydor water deflectori see it all the time on here.... What is a sicce? Link to comment

patback Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Thanks tibbs! It feel good to be back. I just made some fresh water to do a wc in a few days and just opening the salt bucket brought back some good memories. Lol. Nothing better than the smell of fresh salt. Link to comment

ImNew:] Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Seriously how are you fitting a mp10 in there ahahha and you are thinking of another! dang i am intrigued! Link to comment
patback Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Seriously how are you fitting a mp10 in there ahahha and you are thinking of another! dang i am intrigued!haha, I was looking at my rock work and I do t think it'll work. Just not enough space behind it to be useful. My thinking is, hey, I've got it already. Might as well use it. In my other tanks, 2 points of water flow that were slightly weaker were better than 1 point of origin with stronger flow. I guess it wouldn't make that much of a difference in such a small tank anyway. Link to comment
ImNew:] Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 i think 1 mp10 in a nano tank like yours would provdie amazing flow as is. Link to comment

patback Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Out of curiosity which salt do you all use? I've always used reef crystals but not sure if I want to try something else. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I use Red Sea coral pro but will be switching to the Red Sea blue bucket becuz the alk and such is really high in the RSCP. It was great when I was just relying on water changes to replenish ca, alk, etc but now that I'm dosing, WCs throw off my ca and alk. Link to comment
