Thank you!!
So beautifull. Running two lights? And enough light for acans, duncans etc. on the bottom?

Thank you! That’s correct two lights stock lights! My Duncan went from 2 to 7 heads in about 6 months! I believe my light schedule and settings are on here... but here they are if not!
This is the settings for both lights and I’ve had great success!
Hope this helps!
Looks perfect. And no heat issues with these settings? I might crank up the Whites a bit for my SPS!

personally i don't have heat issues but i removed the whole back piece that covers the chambers and i leave the feeding lid open... i get goo air circulation in the room as well and windows are always open to ensure the skimmer pulls in fresh air! during the summer i would just prop the hood in the front like half an inch or so... my heater is set at exactly 79 and my current temp is exactly that. i keep the heater in the center chamber so newly heated water gets dispersed into the tank and doesn't create a still hot spot and shut off. Good Luck!!
Sounds good. I think i will take of the back part as well. and eventually install a fan if necessary. Im at 79 now as well, so interested in how much an extra will implicate. But i am thinking of bumping down the whites with to lights, so hope that will helk lower the temperature as well

This looks fantastic! Nicely done.
I know this is an old post but do you remember what % your mp10s were at? I have the same tank and 2 mp10s and I’m having a heck of a time getting just the right amount of flow, it’s either way too much or too little.

I don’t remember exactly what I used as far as settings unfortunately. But I would just make sure they are toward the top and off set (the left one is closer to the front and the right one closer to the back). I would start on “lagoon” setting at about 30% or 3 lights illuminated. Let me know how this does. I also directed the left return outlet down towards the left and right one up towards the surface for gas’s exchange. So the return is not sending flow to any Corals but more for circulation of the sand to the left and surface tension for the right! Good luck!
