If you already answered this I apologize but this is 29 pages. How do you keep flow in the drop off? If you ever wake up and your tank is gone, don't look in my house. It's not here

no problem. Ya at the drop off left part I put one MP10 to blow up the dirt back up and back of the tank right side also another tunze wave blowing towards front drop off glass so that the wave continue to push the dirt up.
No worry of the tank gone cos my front apartment entrance got a 3ft width stairs only. The only way to get rid the tank is open up all the glass only the tank can moved out.

It's been 2 years+ running this Orphek v4 and my corals are growing fast. However, 2 weeks ago i realize the channel 3 led not functioning and i contacted Orphek service center. I manage to get a quick response from them and after troubleshooting on led channel, Orphek decided to upgrade my led PCB for me! Thank you Orphek for the upgrade and the amazing support for my V4 ! Love this light!

Curious as to how thick the glass is? Been toying with the idea of using a MP10 to supplement flow behind some rockwork … but my tank is close to 1/2 inch and have been told the MP10 magnet won't hold.

Today took me 3 hours to clean up the tank algae on the glass..it's been like 2 months lazy scrubbing it and busy with my 2nd (3 months old).

Great build. Fun read and inspiring. Glad to see you are back at it! I had Star polyp and Xenia take over half my tank once and there was little I could do to stop it other than take down. Never again.
Anyway love your work. Keep it up!

Yup I let the star polyp grow on the back of the glass and front drop off rocks where lesser lighting hit on it. Another problem still facing now is the darn brown color star polyp, been trying to kill it with kalkwasser paste or hand pick still end up it comes back grow even faster and grow up cover the sps.
