Thank you! Yes I did try to rotate the wet side and it still making the noises. It has gone down a little but still a lot louder then the other. Hmmmm I will see what happens over the next few days.

Yea give it a bit when I installed 2 mp10s one was a bit louder but once they broke in they are the same now

So it has been awhile but the all my numbers have been stable and the first life has gone in! I am personally still excited about this tank. I think it turned out so much better then I thought and anyone debating Starfire Glass I will tell you hands down the best money on the tank. What you see through the glass is the exact sight as from above the water. so the new life is a CUC of course and then purchased a frag pack of SPS. Here are the Coral that I have gotten:

Candelstick Granulosa- Light: High Flow: Med/High
Tricolor Granulosa- Light: High Flow: Med
Green & Blue Tip Acro- Light: Med/High Flow: Med
Green Slimmer- Light: Med/High Flow: Med
Green Stylo- Light: Low/Med Flow: Med
Monti Spongodes- Light: Med/High Flow: Med
ORA Green Birdsnest- Light: Low/High Flow: Med
Bright Orange Digi- Light: Med Flow: Med
Orange Cap- Light: Low/High Flow: Med
Ponape Birdsnest- Light: Med Flow: Med
Purple Tipped Acro- Light: Med/High Flow: Med/High
Rainbow Pocillopra- Light: Low/Med Flow: Med
Sour Apple Birdsnest- Light: MedHigh Flow: Med
Teal Tip Stag- Light: Med/High Flow: Med
Thin Bushy Blue Tipped Acro- Light: Med/High Flow: Med

So I would like to get some input of placement and settings from you guys.

The first is lighting. The tank is 12" Deep and I have three AI Hydras about 16" above waterline. With that said what percentages do you guy suggest for an SPS tank?

Next is my Vortechs. Because of the length of the tank I have two MP-40s. All of the current SPSs that I have are Medium with the exception of two that will probably thrive in High. What setting should I have the Vortechs on?

Last is Coral placement. The aquascape hasnt changed since the earlier picture and just wanted to get some input from the fine people here to at what points you think I should put these coral at.

Here are two pictures of the coral, I have realized that a DSLR camera will be in my future, all I have is my iPhone and as you can tell from all of my pictures the white balance just cannot handle the lights.

Love your tank Boboli.
cdunson82 will watch your progress.

Thank you bebereef.

So I pulled the trigger on a DSLR Camera. Any one on here with a Canon Rebel T3 and LED Full Spectrum lights figure out great settings that really take accurate pictures of the tanks? I am def learning how this DSLR works so forgive all the pictures until I get it right!

All 16 pieces of coral that I have put in have been acclimating well (using the coral acclimation option on the AI Controller) and the extensions on these have been amazing. The tank is 12" deep with the lights about 16" above the water, I would really like to know what percentages any AI Hydra owners are using.

I also put the first fish in last night, I have been wanting these for a very long time and the LFS had a gorgeous trio so i went for it, a trio of Bartlett Anthias.

Now for the pictures, please let me know what you guys thing so far and understand coloring of the pictures with the camera is still off and really doesn't do this thing justice.

















Thanks for looking!
