Nice tank , but drop off tanks just prove one thing to me , that fish are not bothered about being with corals , unless they eat them , and just prefer the deeper water. Ive noticed it in every picture of a drop off tank I have seen

Absolutely stunning set up.

So where do u have the mp10s set up at? Are there two on the bottom and one up top?
As stated many of times beautiful tank and one of the reasons I think I'm going to go with the AF method.
What's ur water change schedule?
It truly is stunning

thanks guys!

here some more pictrues of the set up:

in November 2015 i had the glorious idea of switching to full LED:

but my corals didn´t abrove and the shading was too much for my opinion...

so i switched bad to t5s and the to my new Pacific Sun hybrid...

That's what I want 2 have on my 75g I'm sittn up. 4 t5s and 3 modular LEDs. What LEDs u recommend with app tuning

Sir Chris · Aug 16, 2016

I would have it moved into my room next 2 my bed or couch as I'd stare at it all day

i am running a Pacific Sun and the app is working good! not as good as Ecotechs Ecosmart but still it´s pretty nice!
i think a hybid lamp compines the best of both worlds!
