Thanks for all the compliments! Positive feedback is always good so see. We never know what the next day may bring especially in tank dimensions of this "nano " range. I have one less MP10 in the tank due to my daughter accidentally hitting the dry side off. Waiting for the new bearings in the mail. I just did a water change and going to measure some parameters later on today.

Ok just an update..

 

I received the bearings in the mail yesterday. got the old ones out and the new ones in but..after all was said and done i still wasn't happy with the sound. :closedeyes: it seems like the bearings weren't the problem. but on a brighter note, it seems like the tank is going strong without the 2nd mp10.

 

As per the tank parameters, I am testing and dosing daily but just can't figure out the correct dosage in order to setup the DP-4. Time will tell...

 

Lastly, I did a rescape of the left side of the tank..again. I know it probably won't be the last time but I'm really happy with the result. Good night reefers.
