I couldn't make ffm this year which I was disappointed.. but I decided to get my light in place and decided to put a wp25 to help the wp10 in the tank.. for light I decided to get a 16in sealife led from a fellow reefer. Can't wait to get corals in it

If you have any tips for the wavemaker placement feel free to comment and also lighting schedule..

Won these corals from the OSA auction on facebook and my buddy Paul was able to get them for me at ffm since I couldn't make it..

All I'm missing was the rusty palys that was forgotten

The pics of the corals are in my friend Paul's tank till I'm able to get grab them

Here's an update with the tank.. was able to get my corals for my friends tank and popped them in my setup... can't wait for them to grow

I got 3 new corals today in the mail from Scott of OSA and purple haze Monti from Vaiodude on sunday.. will post pics once opened up

Got this puppy in the mail today.. not bad to setup.. the only issue with the bubble magnus was they lack instructions.. but they do send a page full of stickers to make up for it lol

They are pretty standard as far as skimmer function goes. Run for a few days without the cup on to break in. Then use the adjustment rod to dial in. Happy in 8-10" of water and the bubbling should be most of the way up the neck. Check every few hours until you get it set at a level you like. Then set it and forget it!

Thanks for the info JerSaint..Yea took some time to figure it out.. they should at least send instructions lol. Was having a bit of trouble yesterday with it but Kevin helped me out with it.

Yep, I've got the same thing, just the bigger model for my 90G. Same thing; "instructions" so poorly written there's no way they're useful. But there are fish stickers on every one of my boxes now. LOL.

Ended up putting the rock against the glass instead of having the island look.. it gave me more room on the sand bed

What substrate did you end up using?

What substrate did you end up using?

Ended up using dry aragnoite

How is it compared to regular sand and where did you pick it up from?

I like it.. it's a bit thicker so it hardly blows around with the wavemaker .. picked it up at petco.i believe it was 8 or 9 bucks a 10lb bag.. they also have 20lbs but when I went they were out of it
