    You're too kind! Thank you. Let's see how she looks in a year+, then I'll feel good about it! Anyone can throw together a great looking tank. Maintaining it is the hard/fun part!

    Do you have to MP60's on your tank? Great looking by the way.

    Thank you!

    I am running 2 MP60w ES on Tidal Swell Mode
    and 1 MP10w ES on short pulse on the back glass.

    It's taken me a while to get placement right so I could run them without tossing sand! But now I got them to about 50% and I run nutrient transport from 2am - 6am. (this is done via my Apex controller

    Very nice I thought about grabbing one of these for my tank but if you have a 210 and have 2 that might be the way to go and then i can just use my MP40 on the back. Should be just right for a SPS tank.

    You don't want to run a MP40 on the back glass. I only run my mp 10 at 25% to keep the Acro Shelf in the middle of my tank well cleaned. A 40 would never allow you to keep any sand on the bottom. I would get one MP60 and your 40 and see how you like it. Mine is total overkill. I have actually thought about trading someone a 60 for a 40 and a nice frag or something.

    With my set up, I could blow the water out of the tank. I basically pointed them directly at rocks to diffuse the crazy flow lol. The only reason I ended up getting two mp60s was I got a killer deal on them. 2 Mp40s would be sufficient. 1 60 and 1 40 will give you plenty of extra flow. Only add the 10 if you find yourself with a dead spot. (I stole one of my returns for my algae scrubber and that cost me 1000gph that was well directed.

    Awesome thanks for the tip. 1 MP60 and my MP40 will work.

    Your tank is going to be awesome! Can't wait to see it come up. Do you have a build thread yet?

    Wait that one may be a little too long ago. This one is only a couple years ago.
