dhartmann Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Not that I know anything about lighting lol...but for what it's worth I have my ai controller set for sunrise at 12:00pm and sunset at 7:00pm with a 4 hour ramp time. That way I have 12:00 - 4:00 (4 hours ramp up), 4:00 - 7:00 peak intensity (3 hours), then 7:00-11:00 (4 hours ramp down time)... Total lighting time is 11 hours, peak is 3 of the 11. 25-30-30. Hope that helps. Link to comment
Hexadron Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 If it's in your budget, do the mp10 I have one on mine as well, and even at 50% Reef Crest I don't feel it too much. You can always turn it down though, which is a great feature, and no hands in the tank! Not to mention how little room it actually takes up in the display. Link to comment

TristanC Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Are you planning on adding more rics to this tank? Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Are you planning on adding more rics to this tank? You heard him. Add some more!! Or let them grow some pairs. Link to comment
BadCrab Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yeah I'm letting the ones I have settle a bit. I'd like to see them grow and separate successfully before adding more. I don't see spectacular ones very often, so I'm hoping I can do some trades with NR members Should have 2 more sexies in the tank next week, too! Link to comment

Dude, I'm also looking for some hot Ricordea Florida morphs... like these (unless they're photoshopped ): Link to comment
Mstefa1 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I think you need an mp-10 to mix your salt. Link to comment
BadCrab Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Salt mixes best in Reef Crest mode. Link to comment
TristanC Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 And a radion as a reading light. Link to comment
Hexadron Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Actually, in a moment of madness, I was ready to buy another mp10 Then I was like "I have a 10 gallon tank and one already!" That would be an expensive salt water mixer When are you getting those jebo's?! I am debating to get one or two for added flow I'm thinking 'hurricane mode'. Link to comment

That would be an expensive salt water mixer When are you getting those jebo's?! I am debating to get one or two for added flow I'm thinking 'hurricane mode'. I was the second person paid in the Arizona Jabeo Group Buy that just finished. I'll be receiving 3 WP40s and a WP25. The WP25 should be out of the first shipment being sent to us by Jabeo as a "teaser" (I believe this is a good faith 'thank-you' from Jabeo for placing a $12k+ order); I'll be doing a comparison of the MP10 and WP25 in a nano tank. I should be one of the first few dozen people stateside to have one in hand! In fact, the shipment is already in LA passing customs (Watch the Tracking Number Here) The lead time for the rest of the WP25s (and all the WP40s) will be a while - I don't expect them to hit shore by ship until late June into the middle of July. The group buy ended on the 15th, it takes a few days to wire the cash, and they require payment before manufacturing. The WP40 modes are pretty nice, a local reefer from our club posted this video showing it off in his reef: (I love our community here!) Link to comment
Hexadron Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Looks like you may get them today! My main concern is noise. I realize they are a little bulkier than an mp10, but if it is noisier, I rather pay the ~$250 for the mp10. I expect a full review with lots of Photos I hear the wp40's are insanely powerful though. I see a lot of people on RC 'downgrading' even in their large tanks! Link to comment
BadCrab Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yes, the people I see running them often have to turn them down with other equipment. I always see people replacing 4-6 tunze powerheads with 1-2 WP40s too. Link to comment
