Sweet setup with lots of great color. I really like what you did with the caps on the back wall and the palys. What did you use to secure them to the back? Especially the rock with the palys, that piece is pretty big.

I used rock mags from Aqua-Mags LLC :)
For the no tis I used frag mags...got them at the same place. The more room the better lol
Thanks!

I dose reef builder everyday, seachems reef plus and reef trace...I feed flake, pellets and frozen prime reef...also a few drops of live phyto every week...5g water changes every 2 weeks with Tropic Marin Salt. The HOB's run filter floss and Chemipure elite.
I love the MP10...it does get kinda loud tho so not good for a bedroom.I used to have an MP20 back in the day in my bedroom reef and it was silent compared to this lol
My tip is light bio load on fish, don't over feed, do your water changes and take it slow.
Feel free to ask any questions :)

Thanks!
