Jeff's 30L AIO mixed reef build

[Mjl714]

I was considering a 2nd mp10 but I'm worried it might be too much flow for the tank being mostly an LPS/Softy/Zoa tank. Will never have an SPS in here. How do you find your 2 mp10's work with your tank and your comp?

I really like the flexibility of one mp10 on each end I have a mixed reef.

I think you’ll be happy with your move.

The IM AIO 30l’s are fantastic tanks. We went with two mp10’s, and two ai hd primes. I swapped out there pump for two Eheim compacton 1000’s.

Have you tried the Nero 5? I just set up the 30L and I love the shallow look

No, I have always preferred the no cords in the tank. I suspect the Nero 5’s are great Circulation.

Nero 5's def look slick. haven't heard much about them though.

They are pretty cool, and really strong.

The Reef Octo 1000 HOB is skimming nicely

2 new inTank media baskets to house my custom cut blocks of Marine pure. Keeps them off the floor of the media chambers and easy to remove.

Got the 2 blocks cut and inserted. Big block I cut them from has been cycling since Jan 1st.

Right overflow chamber will house this guy. Lower 2 sections are filled with marine pure gems. Top will be reserved for floss when needed. Gems have also been cycling since January 1st.

Tunze skimmer is in. Happy with how super quiet it all is. Radion xr15 blues and mp10 was supposed to be delivered today but due to weather in the north its been delayed to Tuesday or Wednesday.

For this tank I decided to try out this 21 day reef mature program by Redsea. We will see how it goes. 1st day of dosing begins today.

Goodluck with quick startup, I hope it goes well.

Thanks... today marks day 4 of the program and going smooth. The only thing that I don't have on the program is the 10 hour light cycle which I know has to have some sort of impact negative or positive... not sure. Radions were supposed to be delivered last week but everything is stuck up north in the ice storm and looks like I still have another 2-3 days before they'll be delivered.

Looking forward to getting some light on this guy. The only piece of the puzzle in the RedSea Reef Mature cycle I'm missing.

 

[Hammerheadz]

Ordered next day air UPS. Finally arrived 8 days later. Looking forward to getting these set up today.
