Really nice tank and i noticed you have sps (my favorite) along with the powerhead pointed towards the front. How has that flow been for you?

I like it so far, it helps redirect the mp10's flow a bit and also helps keep things like food from going down the overflow. Keeps the surface water agitated really well too with the return pumps
 
Does anyone run an aquamaxx hob 1.5? If so can i see some pics. Want to upgrade my old skimmate and dont want a ghost or tunze. I have a pretty heavy bio load. Thanks matt

Love this tank. I have been using radion xr15 pro, mp10, cad lights pls50 elite skimmer, magna fuge chaeto light for refugium and some GFO. Any other recommendations?
 
here is my fusion 40. going thru the cycle now. added some live rock from my 125 to help. thinking about switching out the socks for the baskets and wondering what you guys are using the mechanical filtration. i do not want a lot of detritus building up in the return section. looks like a pain to clean out. thanks for any input.

Tank looks great, I don't use any mechanical filtration, I just make sure to clean my pumps periodically so they aren't clogged up. Personally I don't find it manageable to remove all my equipment and clean the back chambers so I don't do it.

I have 8 fish and zero detectable nutrients so it hasn't been an issue for me yet with a lack of mechanical. I do vacuum the sanded.

Here are a few more of my tank. Excuse the horrible pictures my horrible phone camera cannot weed out the blue. Ive got a new tank now and about six months before I do my upgrade.

Excited to see how this tank progresses though my acros have really started to take off at the one year mark.

Thanks. Fwiw when I use mechanical I have found that my nutrients rise unless you change them every day or two. What are your plans for your tank?

going to make it a zoa tank. i have 2 midnight clowns, 2 bangaii cardinals, and a watchman goby with a pistol shrimp to move from my 125. i have to sell my flame wrasse pair.
 
PNorris11; You sure like breaking all the Rules; Flame and Lemon Peel? I know wifes favorite. Then Wrasse and Anthias with no lid Just crazy... Tank is really looking amazing SPS are looking great.

Guys if you haven't seen In Tank makes some cool baskets for filter floss.

I'm getting on of the New IM red lights to see if I can grow some Cheato.. Will use In Tank Media basket for this one.

I do replace socks every few days, they don't hold up in washing machine so cleaning is a pain.

Will keep posted.

Yeah I know, I do keep the lid on sometimes but I should be better. The angels are great with sps but they do limit polyp extension. Color and growth is still good though so I live with it. I thought about pulling them when I upgrade but I'm undecided. If I keep them I'll probably break some more rules and add a copperband lol. How's the tank doing AZ?
