    As one Texan to another, sorry that happened, what a mess to clean up! Hopefully, that was a FW test?

    Stay with it, Reef tanks are awesome.

    What setting did you have your MP10 at? if you read the Manual it clearly states, May cause damage to tank! lol Or somewhere along the lines of that..

    So, IM is sending you a brand new tank?! have they had any other reported problems like this?? They are very nice looking tanks and I have been thinking about picking one up. But, if the QC is that inconsistent, Ill have to rethink it
