Thanks! It's growing pretty well I just have to stop fragging.

You have inspired me to set my cube as a display. I only hope mine will be as good looking as yours!
 
That's means a lot! Good luck on your build!

Awesome build. Do you use any equipment for dosing? What sump do you have?

I have a similar size tank with an all in one chamber in the rear. I want to go to a sump tho.

I like seeing some original pieces like the orenji monti. Do not see that one often.

Can you tell me what having two mp10 helps with? I have one on my 24x24x12 right now and have been toying with the idea of adding a second. What mode and percent do you runs yours?

Again, awesome build.
 
I'm using a 40 gallon sump. Plenty of room to have my skimmer return pump a few baffles and my Schuran calcium reactor.
Besides using a calcium reactor I do dose Reef Plus twice a week and feed pretty heavy. When I can afford it I like to feed Oyster Feast from time to time. Besides frequent water changes that's about all that goes into the water.
I have two MP 10's to have good random water movement through out the display. I like to have have a lot of water movement at the surface to allow good gas exchange. I have them both pulsating which creates a pretty random flow pattern.
The one you see there is my setosa that has been fragged a dozen times!..LOL On the other side of the display I have the Orenji. One of my favorites. Ill try to get a pic of it soon. I got that one from John at Your Reef.
Thanks!

Here is the grafted Orenji I got from John. Definitely a oldie but goodie. He belives its naturally grafted from a green pocillopora that had been growing close to the Orenji colony.
