I believe he just uses the Mocean as a motor to oscillate the tunze.

Thank you! Interesting. Never heard of a Mocean before. Got a 75g with 2 MP10s and it just doesn't seem like enough flow so Im looking into adding something. Might be worth doing this instead of a MP40.

This tank is just beautiful. Every time I watch the video..... all I can say is WOW!

That's correct. You can plumb them from your return if you want to. I think they are much more effective with a Tunze on them. It's very easy. You get a PVC end cap (one+1/2 inch I think, I did it a long time ago so not certain of the size) and drill a small hole in the end. The black Tunze holder has a small hole in its end. You get a plastic screw and bolt from the hardware store and just bolt them together. This slips snugly onto the bottom of the mocean. Over time this can loosen up so I wrap teflon tape around the end if it gets loose.

Sounds easy enough. How about mounting the motor? I really cant find any good pictures of people who have them and how they have them set up. I assume the controller can be mounted away from the Mocean. I have a 75 gallon with center back overflow that I would like to mount it on, or on top of the overflow cover. Is that possible?

Mine are mounted on the overflow. It comes with adapters that allow for different mounting options. You don't live that far from me, you can always come take a look at them.
 
Very nice tank. Absolutely amazing. I have two questions for you. I also run an AI Sol over my tank. I am not having good luck keeping my purple rim cap all colored up. and Second I have a montipora stellata that lost its tissue in areas that are not exposed to light, all other areas look great. Just curious if you have a purple rim cap in your collection and if you have experienced the same tissue loss with some of your corals.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful tank. I hope to get the same success with my light that you have.

I have had tissue loss with montis before, but that was before I got the sol blues. I have had minor occurances since . It was very mysterious and I could not find the cause. I don't think the problem is related to lighting.
I have some purple rim cap, but they are all in dimly lit areas, crowded by other coral. They appear almost completely green. I think it needs to be in a higher lit area to get that glowing purple rim. Now that you mention it, I'm going to move a piece (if I can find a spot) and see what I get.
 
i loved your vid i have watched it several times i have 3 sol's coming this week for my 150 gal i am switching to them after using 3 160watt pacific sun pythons that i had lots of problems with. ty for sharing
