That should clean up nice... Good luck with your build!

 

[Dsnakes]

Looks like a fun build. I really like that stand

Transferring over.

 

[chaostactics]

Tank transfer successfully, next up... aquascaping.

 

[chaostactics]

I've finally done it! I fully submerged my MP10 dry side .
Think they'll still warranty it when this goes inevitably wrong?
PS Aquascape update.

Looking great! Is that the IM stand or you got something else? Thinking of starting an anemone tank...

It's a stock IM stand. I wish I could have a anem only tank but the better half wants a mixed tank... and I want to be able to spend money...

 

[EmdeReef]

Thanks! I hear you, I’m a bit reluctant too.

But my hand is a bit forced, I’ve had one for ~6yrs, moved it to a new tank and i guess it got stressed and split now taking way too much space :(

How’s the maintenance? Easy to clean the back?

The 4 over flow chambers are easy to clean and fit reactors, heaters, and many skimmers such as the tunze 9004 skimmer. The center chamber is a bit more tricky it extends left and right underneath the overflow chambers so it must be stirred up before being vacuumed out. I use a turkey baster or flip the return pump on it's side

You put the dryside of your mp10 underwater?
Is it still running?

Still running as of now. I put it underwater though not without modification. I've been looking to do this for 3+ years and finally figured out how. I won't call it a complete success until a few weeks roll by.

Dry side of the MP10 is under 3-5" of water depending on whether or not my return is on.

I have the same tank and I like how your mp10. compared to mine (on the side wall) can't wait to see how it holds up over time.

I will definitely be updating this as it goes along. I'll call it a success after 3 weeks.

Picked up 3 beautiful rock flower a meme last night, looked like all but one took hold last night. Can't wait to get pics when I get home.

MP10 update: still submerged, still running strong.
