Thanks Laurie they actually ate the chromis they have been with for 8 months yesterday.

2xmp60Wes

BlueTang<3 01-09-2011 07:04 PM

Thanks Mike he is probably one of my all time favourite fish especially when he swims upside down.

kien 01-10-2011 01:34 AM

BlueTang<3 01-10-2011 01:39 AM

ya, watching those long polyps flow in your current is mesmerizing! :biggrin:

BlueTang<3 01-10-2011 01:49 AM

Yeah pushing over 20 000 gallon per hr in the display right now added a mp 40 for now to play with the fish are making a lot of frags tho swimming into stuff.

frizzo1983 01-10-2011 01:53 AM

looks awesome I was also thinking of adding 2 mp20s off the back wall to get more flow.

BlueTang<3 01-10-2011 02:06 AM

you can still get the 20's?

Looks great! How are you liking the pair of mp60 vs more mp40s? I'm concerned about things growing within the first foot or two...is the flow quite broad and gentle?

Yeah the 40's were much nicer for that. Added the 60's and have had a ton of tissue loss from being burnt from flow. The crappy thing with the 60's is they need to be 12" from the surface of the water. Thats half down my tank :sad:. They are having a few issues and not happy with them. Wont work with my battery backup. Wont stay in night mode and in constant flow they ramp up and down like reef crest.

lastlight 02-22-2011 08:06 PM

Yeah because of the fact that my tank has the overflow on the end and I don't want any powerheads on the other viewable end I'm restricted in where I can place these things. I'm concerned about putting one or maybe two 7500 gph pumps directly underneath my overflow as I'm trying to direct detritus INTO the overflow right? So now I'm thinking mp40s will be the way to go. Most on the back wall but perhaps one or two under my overflow as well.

How are they in terms of noise compared to the mp40s?

BlueTang<3 02-22-2011 08:10 PM

The one that is not ticking is fairly silent. But they are much bigger than the 40's so they are louder. Actually right now i can hardly hear my 40's but the 60's are humming.

BlueTang<3 02-27-2011 02:57 AM

Picked up some new items.

uber-cool Wester......wonder how well they'll deal with all that flow?:wink:.....thought about trying one meself but worried about my flow

fishoholic 02-27-2011 03:20 AM

Very cool are they eating mysis? Where did you get them from?

BlueTang<3 02-27-2011 03:27 AM

They are not eating but picking on it. They seem to be handling the flow well once they settle in ill grab more pictures.

Looks really good. Nice pipes.

BlueTang<3 02-27-2011 03:59 AM

Well thanks one is very active darting around the tank one is hiding somewhere in the rock work hope they both work out.

Skimmerking 02-27-2011 04:16 AM

nice Wes great Score

BlueTang<3 02-27-2011 04:33 AM

Some exciting and sad news. Well mush have been the stress from the move but the seahorses had babies. Sad news is i ran and shut off all flow and tried to catch them but they quickly became fish food :sad:

MMAX 03-02-2011 12:50 PM

What T5 bulb combo are you running on your 180?

Wayne 03-02-2011 09:45 PM

Awwww thats both cool and sucky! Good luck with your new additions I can't wait to see them! :lol:

fishytime 03-02-2011 10:15 PM

that is sad, but if you can take something positive from it, it would be that your fish got a nutritious treat:mrgreen:
