Miguel Burguete Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I'd avoid the WP10 as well on this tank, I have one and it's really weak. I've heard good things about the RW series though as Wiinberg said. From your experience do you think that the WP10 gets a good disperse circulation or is it to direct? Does it moves a lot of water? Because the problem with Tunze6015 is that it is too big and not controllable.. I would like to have for now only one pump here. Link to comment
Neto Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Tank looks great, if I where you, I would get an MP10... Jebao's in my experience when they get slightly dirty, they loose a lot of power. Link to comment
Arkayology Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Nice looking tank! From your experience do you think that the WP10 gets a good disperse circulation or is it to direct? Does it moves a lot of water? Because the problem with Tunze6015 is that it is too big and not controllable.. I would like to have for now only one pump here. I tried a wp10 on my 24x24x16. I thought it was really low flow for my SPS. I got a wp25 and set it to wave1 mode at the lowest speed and it is perfect. It should be similar for your tank I would think, though yours is much more shallow than mine. HTH. Link to comment

Love your tank BTW! Do you think that the RW8 will cover the problems of the WP10? Because the WP25 is too big from what I have seen.. Link to comment

Because the WP25 is too big from what I have seen.. I think that an RW8 would be ok, yeah. FWIW, I don't think that a wp25 is that much of an eye sore, but that's just me. Link to comment

The flow isn't wide, I think the RW series is a broader flow. The WP25 is much stronger and quite a lot bigger but as Ark says, it's not that bad. I'd save for a MP10 or look into the RW series.

So today I had the opportunity to test one single RW4! Have to say that it is very small and powerful. Tested all modes and it moves a LOT of water. Definitely going to buy one but not right now because I ve already spent a lot on the tank. In other news: Got home today one very big piece of Seriatopora Caliendrum it is now my centre piece.

Miguel Burguete Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Mini Update: The tank is doing just fine. Yesterday I added 3 Chromis Viridis! They are very cool swimming in group. The A. Coeruleus is doing fine, in less than 1 week he already eats everything, flakes, pellets and frozen! The coralline algae is popping up very fast! Very purple and beautiful coralline. I would say that even with very few sps's corals it is very helpful to have a doser for the alk. Next week I expect to add two shrimps: Lysmata Amboinensis Miguel. Link to comment

ETucc Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Beautiful. I'm obsessed with all of these shallow rimless tanks... I'm gonna upgrade to one, sooner or later. Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Do you have a name for the zoas closest to the camera? Hey, Not 100% sure, but should be something like Radioactive Green. Beautiful. I'm obsessed with all of these shallow rimless tanks... I'm gonna upgrade to one, sooner or later. Thank you! Do it!! A lot of advantages from my view; Nice footprint for fishes Very good light performance = better coral growth rates Easy maintenance Super good looking (in general) Link to comment

A lot of advantages from my view; Nice footprint for fishes Very good light performance = better coral growth rates Easy maintenance Super good looking (in general) I love that you have it in a corner, and the cabinet is so clean... Perfect height too. They seem like no-brainer SPS tanks. And I really dig the corner overflow... so cool! Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 What a beautiful tank. I love the shallow tanks as well Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Mini Update: Just got one Jebao rw4! Much better flow than the Tunze6015. Removed one of the rocks, the one from the centre so it can have more flow. Corals are doing just fine! But i lost my 4 fishes due to Marine Ich. I am waiting for the tank to process and then buy new fishes and shrimps. I also bought a new doser so I can also add calcium daily. Miguel Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'd wait a while for the ich to die out, the tank needs to stay fallow for the ich to be completely eradicated Link to comment
cnseekatz Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Great tank, and awesome photography! Seems like it might be worth while to go with T5s over LEDs just for the sake of photographing the tank! Great job! Link to comment
