40B redo

I have 1 in my 30 and run mp10 at half capacity. I think you could get away with that. However I think you should consider the gyre 130!!

 

Or something a tad more affordable, unless you got the monies to burn.

Test results:
pH: 8.0-8.1
Ammo: 0.25 ppm
Nitrite: 0

Looks like we are finally starting to cycle, I started the cycle off with a piece of frozen mysis, brine, cyclops mix.

 

I just bought the mp10 online so in about a week I should be playing with my new toy.

 

Just got the mp10 es in today and man this thing is cool. I am currently running a auto-tune wave of only about 1/2 inch, I do not have anything in the tank currently so no need to really ramp it up. I will have to play around with it more when I get some life in there.

pH: 8.0
Ammo: 0.25 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 5 ppm

 

Fun toy I am sure.

 

It looks like the tank is finishing its cycle and now I have diatoms all over everything. I will give it a few more weeks until I add fish.
pH: 8.0
Ammo: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm

 

So, why is it that my return pump and skimmer pump both crap out with in a week of each other?

 

My skimmer, lighting fixture and power head all did that to me one day at 3 am on my way to work. All in one fair swoop, without time for me to fix on my way out the door. Hence the reason I am collecting back ups of everything.

 

I have a saying around my house, "When it rains, it pours".
