Paintguru's 22g Cadlights nano build

[MarvinsReef]

Thanks Marv (Hollywood here I come!). The MP20 is in short pulse mode, full power, with the pulse period adjusted so that I get the wave. Too long or two short eliminated the wave. Did a 25% water change today (think I'm having a diatom bloom). Thinking about trying to find a used AquaC Remora skimmer for the system (paranoid about not having a skimmer!).

would the Tunze Nano 9002 fit in the compartment? if not, the AquaC is a good choice... good luck man.. :)

I think it would, but it seems like the AquaC is more "power" for only like $10 more. Plus, there seem to be used ones everywhere! Are you liking your Tunze?

yeah... so far so good with Tunze... if you get the AquaC, lemme know how it does... :)

Some new attempts at top downs. Some are blurry as I didn't have any sort of photo box and was going through the water at an angle. It was also hard not to get glare from the T5's.

Recent top down shot. Sorry it isn't crisp, had to hold the light so I wouldn't get reflections. Also, anyone know how to get rid of that red turf algae!!
