How are the Maxspect xf230s on the 12mm glass?
How are they placed? Back Wall?
Vertical or horizontal?
Any other flow Powerhead?
How are you hiding cords for them?
I currently have ecotechs that are old but looking to add Maxspect.
Thanks.

No issues with the magnets on the 12mm glass. I have them mounted at the end of each side horizontally. No other flow besides the return nozzles. I plan to run the cord vertical out of the tank similar to the ecotech. I can share with you my gyre settings if you decide to get a pair.

I've been using it now for 3 weeks at 2ml each every other day. So far I have not seen positive or negative effects. Will keep dosing for at least 2 months before I decide whether or not to keep dosing.
I've been dosing 6ml once every couple of days for about 2 weeks, also have had about the same results as what you are describing. keep me posted on your results! I'm eager to know if this stuff actually works.

mnml - Nice setup! I ordered my Waterbox 130 last week. What brand dosing containers are those? They look slick!

Hi jsbzmcdaniel,
Congrats on your 130 purchase. You're going to love it! It's a nice tank. I'm using 800ml VOSS glass water bottles as dosing containers.
Really inexpensive and they work well. You can get the bulkhead and acrylic tubes from BRS. If you plan to dose NoPox, stay away from the acrylic tube, however. Let me know if you have any other questions. I need to update this build thread. A few things have changed since my last update.

Great looking tank. I need to get over to Seaside it's been a while. They always have nice fish.

Tank is looking good. How about a new full DT shot. I love the new anthias...

Thank you. I was planning on getting a set of Lyretail Anthias but couldn't pass these up when I saw them. Here's a recent fts.

Whete did you get the anthias? Seaside ? I am worried about anthias require a lot of feeding frequently. I don't have a tank sitter so taking a 2 week vacation is tough ...
