Away from the tank for 8 nights.. mostly successful. ATO setup worked flawlessly! But for some reason BOTH of the mp10’s fell off the glass!

Since the MP10 doesn't have strong enough magnets for the thick glass sometimes they fall off. Mine fell off a couple weeks ago in the middle of the night. I assume a snail got to close and dislodged it.

Glad that was the only problem that you had while you were away.

I started this tank with a single mp10 and had the issue of it falling off randomly. Since I've added the two pumps they've been fine until last week... Ironically enough when I was gone on vacation! haha I am thinking like you, something must of got close and pushed it or hit it!

I was really looking forward to trying out my Octo Aquatics mechanical filter tray when we got back from vacation. The bottom of the fuge had collected plenty of waste to perform the perfect test! I cut up some pinky filter media and placed it into the tray. I then turned on the Sicce pump I have in the fuge section (its the 1.0 I believe) and within 10 minutes the floss was overflowing... SUCCESS!

For some reason BOTH of my mp10's dropped off of the tank while I was away. I noticed on my Wyze camera one dropped off mid week and the right one later in the week while we were gone. They've both been on the back of the tank glass for months with no issues! Go on vacation and it happens, that's just how it goes!

After building some apex profiles I got my Tunze 6040's to pulse, very excited about this! These little pumps push a fair amount of water!

With a long weekend approaching I hope to get all of my RODI filters and membrane replaced. If this happens I'll be able to empty my existing RODI water storage and make brand new water. I know I haven't kept up with my spectrapure unit filters the way I needed to, so that will change and I'll be replacing filters more often now. I decided to replace the membrane, it is 3 years old now and I'd hate to put new filters in the unit and not replace the membrane.

Also another objective is to get the radion xr15's off of the tank and clean them. The top side of the light is a little dirty, figured I'd go ahead and get them cleaned up now!
