Reef Tank 365

Any issue with mp10 staying attached to 1/2” glass? Starting build with same tank dimensions. What size sump? 34”?
Hey there, I had no issues with MP10s holding on the unpainted glass, but I did not run them near 100% and I have heard of some instances where MP10s at near or full power will vibrate or move. I have since switched the MP10s out for an MP40 due to the imbalance they created.
I’ve got the Trigger Sapphire 34” as a sump and having good results with it and Triton method despite being undersized for their recommendations. I run an H380 to make up for the volume and my tank is currently consuming 2ppm nitrate per day (verified via dosing and testing) so it works.
If I were to do it all over again I would have cut the filter sock area prior to installing it since I don’t run mechanical filtration. To silence that part I took two mesh socks with the largest micron width I could find and cut the bottoms out so they don’t filter but quiet down the water movement.
