Shaggy's Waterbox Reef 100.3 +Plus Build

Love your tank, pics, and vids! I noticed you place your MP-40s on the back wall. How have you liked/disliked that position? Also, I noticed you shared your settings for them via ReefLink. Are both powerheads the same settings?

Each of those settings represents a different power head. You will notice one is different to the other. I have had no issues at all having them on the back wall! They are working very well.

Maybe I am missing an update somewhere, but is this your current schedule?

Correct, that shows two pumps.

You only run them at 7% and 4%?

That's correct. You can see how that equates to flow here

Just an update from me. Not been feeling too great lately so there has been a lack of updates.

@ShaggyRS6 I can not thank you enough for this build thread, and your You Tube Videos you have been posting. I bit the bullet today and purchased my 100.3 as in an apartment and this is about as big as I could go. I would have loved to go even bigger, but, soon enough!!! You have inspired me, and delivered such great intel throughout your trials and tribulations. I have followed you on Instagram too. Thank you again and I am sure we will be talking more soon!
