NanoTopia Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Looks like this is going to be a wonderful tank. I might have missed it but are you planning a shallow sand bed or going BB. For Zeovit I recommend a 1" sand bed, course aragonite. Link to comment

For Zeovit I recommend a 1" sand bed, course aragonite. I think I'm going BB for now, since I have a lot of flow.. I might add really course sand a lil bit somewhere down the road. Thanks for stopping by Christine! Link to comment

RiddleEagle18 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Are those mp40s? Sure look like it! Ive got 1 mp10 in my solana. Cant imagine 2 40's!! My rebuild is not coming along quick. Cant wait to copy all of this Link to comment
exactlyobp Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Are those mp40s? Yes they are! Im using them just because i have them.. I know i want to replace them with MP10ws. I had those pumps in my old 90 gallon and I held on to them. Im too afraid not to have enough flow after i get rid of them. Sure look like it! Ive got 1 mp10 in my solana. Cant imagine 2 40's!! My rebuild is not coming along quick. Cant wait to copy all of this Ya since Ill have only SPS with bare bottom in this cube, i want a lot of flow. The bottom MP is at the lowest setting possible, the upper one hovers around 40~42%, Ill see how corals like it once i start placing them. Link to comment

exactlyobp Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Picked up a few corals from a local guy who's getting out of this hobby. I can't call it a "steal" deal but over all I'm happy. Pink Millie https://flic.kr/p/nc3tLP'> It had an ORA frag when i separated from the rock.. Could it be a Red Planet..? If anyone can make positive ID, it'd be great! Mr. Miyagi Tort https://flic.kr/p/nc5CCS'> Again, positive ID please? The guy said it was sold as Mr Miyagi. ORA Purple Stylo https://flic.kr/p/n9ZZax'> Hopefully they thrive in my cube!

Im gonna copy what you're doing: growth/comparison shots! :D Where did you get the rimless clips for the screen lid Shin? The clips came with the tank, but I heard you can use the cabinet shelf holder clip or order from eBay. Epoxyed the RP. https://flic.kr/p/nc5Ncw'> you can see the tabling form. Love it!

AJ_Tsin Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks AJ! Im gonna copy what you're doing: growth/comparison shots! :D Awesome I will be interested to see. I am glad I started when I did. I used to not take photos of corals until they coloured up or looked nice, but in a year or so I will be very very happy with the progress shots. Link to comment

I'm running the 4.31L_cd13 firmware .... Getting apex fusion connection error tab where the token should be.. It was working before tho? Someone else was having a similar issue i believe, but again it should work with wireless bridge. Hmm.. Have you checked with Neptune forum? Link to comment
