Powerful and perfect for my shallow tank! I don't need the mp40 but I'm just gonna keep it and run both at 30-40%.

benzc01 · Dec 15, 2014

I'm confused does it have a pulse mode like the mp40s? Or is it just constant at various power levels. Hows the sound levels I'm really sick of the whirling sound of the mp40s

Yes it does. Sound level is SOOO much better! At 50%, I thought it was off.

decided to add one more block!

Right now, there's 35lbs of real reef live rock and tonga branches, and x2 marinepure cermedia 8"x8"x4" blocks.

Midas Blenny is one of my favorite fish, careful because they will jump out! Let us know how you like the media blocks as I'm considering one for my frag tank.

ARVERLY · Dec 28, 2014

Well one of our cleaner gobies died! The larger one kept harassing him/her since day one. So much for being a "bonded" pair

Current fish:

Midas blenny
tailspot blenny
Cleaner hybrid goby
Black ice clownfish pair
Female green mandarin
Caribbean black cap basslet
Randall's shrimp goby
Red firefish

We are still deciding on which tang species to add!

As for corals, we currently have a fat head dendro, a purple tip frogspawn that the clownfish host!

, Orange riccordeas x10, mini colony of Cornbred event horizon acans, and a Cornbred rainbow cherry chalice. The only SPS we have so far in the tank is a frag of ponape birdsnest. We also bought an Oregon tort, red planet, strawberry shortcake, yellow suharsonoi, and an unnamed yellow Acro with red polyps that our LFS is currently holding until after the New Year!

Hi. I see you rarely post. I saw your gorgeous dendros for sale. I have a single head yellow/orange. Would you share your secret to getting yours to have babies? This little guy is very slow growing in my tank.
