BK's 110 Gallon Build

[Schplitter]

Hows that potters doing? Need more pics of individual additions IMO! =)

He's doing really well. Adjusted to the tank in 10 minutes and is loving it. I wish I could pick all my fish from someone else in this hobby.

Coming along nice. When's pizza night?

I didn't even think about that. Good idea!

Very nice rockscape. I like the cliff.

Thanks

Looking good BK! Now I'm kicking myself for not setting up the rock work in a similar manner when I had it. :headwalls:

How about in 10 years we trade tanks and you have this one and its awesome scape? Haha.

To be honest with you it's turning out to be a pain to place corals. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to keep anything on the upper 3rd of the right side. The light is too intense. Maybe time to plan my LED build.

Get it planned!

Hmm. I think I'll pass on that trade. :lol:

That top 3rd is where the acros go!

 

[Mr D smack]

the top 3rd is going to get filled with red shrooms :lol:

These pics are much better :bounce3:

Did I mention that I went to the dark side a couple weeks ago and bought two used MP10's?

I loved the Jebao WP-40's but two of them were just too much flow even when set at 50%. I came across the two MP10's on the for sale forum and decided it would be a good idea to just try them. They were freshly rebuilt so I figured the noise should not be too bad.

They came in the mail and sure enough they were loud. Too loud for me but the flow is perfect. Not too much and not too direct. The settings on them however stink. Compared to the WP40's they really don't have too many choices and I miss the light sensor that would automatically tune the WP40's down when the lights go off. Echotech should think about this feature for those who don't have a controller.

I'm working on some covers for them to see if I can get them to a tolerable noise level for my picky ears.

Make some little boxes and put some dynamat on the inside

Something like that is in the testing phases.

There is a night mode on the ecotechs

I wonder if boxing them in will cause them to run too hot? I guess you'll find out, as you mentioned you're in the testing phase.

I put a box over my pump to make it quieter, but I also cut out a vent so it can breath.

Yesterday I sold the yellow tang because it and the powder blue didn't get along too well. Sad to see it go but it has a good home with Dave.

Today I changed out skimmers. Hope the extra cost will be worth it. Went from a Vertix IN-100 to a Super Reef Octopus 2000SSS. It barely fit into the compartment and I don't have it at it's optimum depth yet but it seems to be doing well.

Pics to come...
