Mark's 180 Starfire upgrade

[Jflip2002]

MP20s are going to be less flow than the MP40ws I would imagine? Maybe they need MP80s, where it'll kick out like 7000 gph.

I can see why people would not want to switch over to vt's with the current issues, but they have listened and I am excited. I think a couple of the new 6101's and a couple of the new mp20's, my tank might have enough flow when it grows up

For me, they will also need to fix a couple more issues (in my book, at least):

1) make sure the magnets don't fall off
2) noise issue

Wow, Terry, down to two.

BTW, my magnets have never fallen off. I have 1/2 glass and I was told the key was to scrape the inside to make sure there is no algae and on the dry side, just make sure its nice and clean.
I think too many people do not take the time to move the spacer to the correct depth and do not take the extra time to scrape the glass with a blade.

I guess it goes back to the instant resluts thing

I hear ya, but, IMO, just because your magnets haven't fallen off doesn't mean an issue isn't present. I've read enough posts where it does. My Tunzes never fall off. I just don't think that magnets should fall off for that kind of money.

I think for the money of the Tunzes though, they should come with magnets. Glad to see the stream 2 addressed that issue.

My current stock list is

1 copperband butterfly
1 magnificent foxface
1 achilles tang
1 maculiceps tang
1 dussumier tang
1 male rhomboids
1 male flame wrasse
1 female flame wrasse
1 radiant wrasse
1 rosy scales wrasse
1 mysetery wrasse
1 male dispar anthia
3 bartlett anthias
7 chromis'
1 diamond spot goby

and a pair of banded pipe fish that I added yesterday

I also forgot to mention my twinspot hogfish and hawaiian cleaner wrasse as well.

Today, I got in a 2.5" Orange Shoulder Tang, 3 dispars, 2 orange spotted blennies, a spotted mandarin and a few assorted inverts. I do believe that they will go in the garage system until I get their strength up. I do not think the OST will get added for a bit as my maculiceps' eye is still recoveing from the spining from the achilles.

I always have this

I got bored and added a sand fuge this week. I also ordered a new ballast as I am going to upgrade the lights next week

 

[Maximus]

Which lights?

I got a SLS lumenmax DE from Jeremy in trade for some classified corals. I will put a 250 watt DE helios in there once I get around to it.

 

[tbone28]

classified corals. :lmao:

Bastard! I have a feeling it is the confusa!

Since I do not believe I have a confusa, I guess it would be hard to frag. You have been shopping for too many knock offs

BTW Sang, your wrong and since you called it by its wrong name, you just got bumped down on the list; lets say Jan 2010

 

[tbone28]

oh yeah, just noticed!
