My MP40 schedule, I spend good amount of time trying to perfect this and felt it absolutely made my SPS Rock! The goal was to not let any detritus settle on the bottom or on corals and give corals and fish rest at night. Also provide really strong non linear flow which helped corals grow out...

So I have been using RO unit from watergeneral for a long time. I remember 10 years back it was $100 for a dual output 5 stage RODI unit. however, the cartridge have been expensive and ive not changed my membrane for 5 years. I decided to check online and it was cheaper to get a new...

Here the basement system

There is corals there but alot of die off (mainly bc of hair algae), Issue started last year when my hippo tang died by jumping out and was breathing so i added to the tank before it disappeared and decayed for good. The fish made the cryptic box a home and i couldnt just pull it out since...

After 2.5 years. I finally got around to removing rock, and cryptic box out of the first system holding tank. All that's left is to scrape all the algae and dead coral bones from bottom along with a large water change. Also to scrape and make new disk for corals

Ugly phase is on

Wow ecotech raised prices by $50. Kind of upset that i didnt pull the trigger few weeks ago when I was close too. I may just clean my mp 40s and use them instead, i dont think spending $1600+ on 2 mp60 is a good move right now. This WAR is causing so much pain to ppl i wish it would just end...

I just tested the par.. spread is pretty solid but I think I'll have to run the brightness close to 100% then again the par meter doesn't really factor in the t5 bulbs since lookin up it can be 120par and turning it slightly can bring it up 200par. Either way I am in the ideal range of 200-300...

Also i had a hammer completely wipe out a acro, didnt know how serious there stinging power was, same with chalices, Gonis and zoas work better as far as being next to acros

I had a hard time with Torches in my last tank but wouldnt mind keeping them if i could. i can always move them to a different tank so RAP is coming up. I am going to be on the hunt for softies and LPS.

Don't know why I think this but best flow is when air is drawn from the surface and or small vortechs are constantly being formed in and around the surface

I haven't even added the mp60s yet. Lol

Yellow tangs are great for smaller tanks imo

Tangs are super aggressive. Especially the 2 baby purples trying to kill each other for one spot. The 2 yellows are also at each other throats for one spot and ripped fins all day. I don't know why they are not going in the back right corner. I put 2 hiding places there and a few more they...

Bc of flow i won't be able to add any torch or hammers to this tank. Only Gonis but they will probably go on the smaller structure under the overhang. The larger structure you mentioned I probably will add acans only. Mostly zoas, favias, brain coral type on the barebottom. Pretty much high...

He came out. Thanks for the good advice. I left it alone but turned of flow and used a bauster. I think that may have helped or eventually he just came out after 24 hrs

So have a situation. My hippo tang is stuck in aquascape and can't get out all day. I tried turkey bastard but can barely reach this area. Only way I could get to him is to drain the tank to 1 foot and get in the tank even then it would be difficult since he is stuck between the structure...

Pics of the fish

Light rack complete I don't think I could do led alone without T5 on a large system.
