reef211-

Your tank with the 250MH looks like a perfect setup. I have been wanting to see a 40B with a 250 above it to see the kind of intensity and coverage. Thanks for posting your pics, it really gives me some different options should I something happen to my fixture.

How much flow do you guys have in your tanks? Some very nice looking tanks here that I hope mine looks like one day.

How much flow do you guys have in your tanks? Some very nice looking tanks here that I hope mine looks like one day.

Mine runs an average of around 2190gph but when the MP10 hits the apex of its reef crest flow the amount is near 2600GPH- at ebb the flow drops to 1790ish. As for the pumps and powerheads my shapes out like this-

Return Pumps-
Mag5 500GPH but after it travels through the chiller and to the tank it's around 300GPH
Rio1100-250GPH

Circulation-
2 Koralia 1s- 800GPH
1 Koralia Nano- 240GPH
1 MP10- Random Reef Crest mode limited to around 1000GPH max/ 200GPH min

 

[username in use]

Mag 5 return through 1/2" sea-swirl
2 Koralia Evo 750's
1 Koralia Nano Evo 425
1 regular K-nano

Around 2500gph, one of the 750's is switched on and off every minute or so.

 

[Mordoff]

Anyone have any updates?

 

[reef211]

no problem RKB,

My Circulation
1 Tunze nano 6025
1 Koralia Nano
and the return is a Rio 600.

Thank You.. I had to build the stand. I wanted it tall so you wouldn't have to bend over for viewing.

 

[goingsalt]

Constantne, I love the landscaping with the overhangs its real neat.. can tell you spent some time putting it together. I love your clowns.. awesome

 

[goingsalt]

Greech,

I went back on the thread to check out your tank. I like it.. You also did a great job on the landscape. What rock and sand did you use ? how long has it been up and running?

 

[goingsalt]

Finally my tank is showing signs of cycle I'm having a nitrite spike and ammonia spike.. Hopefully sunday I can do a water change and stablize salinity which is kinda high.
