steely185 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 The tank is doing well. A lot of the zoas have bounced back now that they are under halides. The MP10 really has a nice footprint and the tank seems to get some good overall flow from it. I mounted a few frags and sps frags on the rocks. Next week I will add a small frag of ORA Chips Acropora that I'm picking up by trading a milli frag. I'll try and post some pics later. Link to comment
Arkayology Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 You've got quite the setup here don't you? How is the mp10 working out? You should definitely get some pics up so we can check this out. Link to comment
steely185 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 You've got quite the setup here don't you? How is the mp10 working out? You should definitely get some pics up so we can check this out. It's a pretty simple set up. No skimmer, 150 watt sunpod with stock 14k current bulb, mp10 and a AC30 with chemipure in it. No dosing involved. I just give amino acids twice a week and top off with fresh water manually every couple of days or so. Only one damsel in the tank for now who gets fed every other day. It's a very easy tank. Most of the corals (earlier pages) was in this tank before moving it to my 40 and then back to this tank. The mp10 works well. It's not great for flow over distance on the tank or surface agitation like I would like. It does however give a steady varied flow on the tank on lagoon mode. I do get less evaporation using the mp10 since there is less surface turbulence. I'll post some pics later today or this weekend. Link to comment
nanoregon Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Frags on the glass...nice. Link to comment
steely185 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Frags on the glass...nice. Aquamags. Pocillipora eventually ends up there on it's own. They easily spawn in a tank. Link to comment
steely185 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Gonna try this bulb thing again since the radium wouldn't work. I ordered a 20K Ushio tonight so I'm anxious to see how it turns out on this tank. Not much to update. The tank is being use to quarantine a coral or two from my display and that's about it.

Arkayology Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Nice! It is like frag-central in there. Those green shrooms are sick, I have never seen ones like those before. Are those the mini zoas, red ones in third pic? Link to comment

Are those the mini zoas, red ones in third pic? I love the green shrooms since they are so bright. The small zoas are kedds reds. Just a smaller variety of zoa unfortunately. Link to comment
Arkayology Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Ah, my LFS has a small colony of these mini zoas which they will not sell me. Just wondering. Link to comment
lex0219 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Wow sweet 20H! Love the variety! Is your rock work against the back glass? Link to comment
steely185 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 No. The rockwork just sits on top of each other. There is about an inch or so from the back glass to allow some flow behind the rockwork. Link to comment
steely185 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Share Posted April 10, 2010 Ushio 20k now in the sunpod. Link to comment

steely185 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 Picked up a new canon t2i and thought I would post some early pics with the stock lens: Link to comment
lex0219 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Loving the new camera! Everything looks awesome! How is the growth on your Ushio 20K bulb? Link to comment
steely185 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 I don't think I've seen much drop off in growth with the new bulb. It took a week to burn in and show it's true color, but I love it. I've been getting some great growth in the tank and haven't noticed any change with the new bulb. Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Your 20 looks amazing! I really wish mine looked like that! Nice work! Link to comment
lex0219 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Good to know, I have a Phoenix 14K that came with my fixture and love the color. Was thinking of picking up one of those next though. Link to comment
pyronus Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Wow, its like a 20H explosion all of the sudden. Gotta love frag mags. Good lookin tank here. Link to comment

steely185 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 This was a tricolor frag I bought off someone on nano-reef. It's been brown for several months and in the last month has finally started to color up. Link to comment
steely185 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Got the new macro lens and took some pics/video of the 20. Enjoy. Link to comment
