Pics taken under stock lighting with Nikon D3100 with stock lens, avast porthole:

My camera battery died during taking some of these so they might be out of focus. Will have to take more later

Ended up getting some Snowflakes from our local Petco Aquarium Magnet store.

Here's a crappy pic of one of them:

hows the mp10? im thinking about getting one, but i have a open top and it seems that it can cause splashin from some vids i saw

I have a pair of MP-10s on my rimless 50 and they work great. So many options. I've never had any splash in the 7 months i've had them.

ok cool, thanks.. think i will have to replace my 2 k1's with mp10

The mp10 is nice. It will only splash if you have it turned up really high and/or its set too high in the tank.

I got my shazaams and japanese toadstool back in the tank this weekend. Lost my memory card for my camera otherwise I'd have new pics!

Hey man your tank is coming along very nicely. The aquascape is cool too. Anyhow I just picked up a jbj28 and am going to use it as a frag tank. How do you have your back chambers organized? Thanks.

 

[lurchw00t]

So some updates: most everything in the tank is doing well, got some HA to take care of, hopefully my CUC will start to make a dent in that.

On a sad note, I lost most of my 6+ polyp Shazaam frag. The stalks are still there but not looking hot. Hoping I can resolve the issue and nurse them back to health.

Chambers in the back are stock, returns are stock.

Tank looks good. I have the MP-10W. I've had mine for about 2 months and its loud as hell! I've checked the alignment multiple times and they are right on. Has anyone else had problems with these things being loud? I'm about ready to call up eco tech and send it back.

My mp10 is quiet. I've had 3 actually between 3 tanks and they have always been quiet.

Sure thing. I'll try to snap some pics/video tonight.

The mp10 is in the top 1/3 of the right hand side glass, in the middle. I have it cranked up right now and I'm not getting any splashing/overflowing. Corals and fish seem to enjoy it.

 

[RaysReef]

Its like an endless swing pool.

Here's a vid of the mp10 cranked up in reefcrest mode:
