Sure :) here it is:

Approx how high up are those mp40s mounted and if it's not too much trouble how far off the side of the glass are they?

At those percentages I feel I would have a sandstorm on my hands

no problem :)

well left pump is 17cm from the front glass and 17cm lol from water surface

right pump is 20cm from back glass and 15cm from surface

all measures are from center of the pumps :)
for the reference my water column high is 45cm

But this all depends on layout as well.

That bonsai is amazing! Love the colour and the growth quite amazing.

Thanks for the info on the pumps....one Kat question, what % is the anti sync running at? Is it matched to the other side or just a set %

thanks a lot :D yes I love the bonsai one of my favourite SPS and this time I got it to grow like a "plate".

good question I totally forgot about the anti sync speed, sorry... I run it at 64%

Little update...

Two days after I filmed my "Motion Macros" video, a friend of mine came to visit and brought his camera kit a Sony a7s ii + Samyang 85mm f1.2 e Samyang 100mm macro f2.8 (P.S. I love this kit for video) LOL... so I had to steal this for a couple of hours to take some 4K footage of the corals :)

Here's the result ... watch it in 4K :)

Hello :)

Yesterday I got the lastest ICP results of my water, everything is OK... Sr, Zn and I still low... let's fix that for the next test :)

The tank is looking good, had a bit of a AEFW scare but it's under control I hope.

Results:

:)

Update... the tank has been very stable, Kh is steady for more than 2months now... everything is growing well :)

Lastest fish added:

Anampses Meleagrides
Halichoeres Trispilus

And for now, here it is a FTS :)

See you all soon.

Hello everyone,

Another big update :) everything is stable and growing... last week I added 16 new frags to the system and also 2 CaribSea rocks to fill the scape a tiny bit more and add frags space hehe

Technical area is also developing well... I just need to finish some aesthetics details... add light tidy up the dosing tubing....

3 days ago changed the Vortech schedules to short pulse and expanded pulse... I have been noticing that is this modes the water movement is much higher and natural with less constant flow "hurting" the corals, let's see if this will work I'm also curious to see growth pattern.

The Profilux 4 is getting better every update it gets, and this has given me a lot of peace of mind, loving it.

Ok time for some photos, first a updated FTS.

Now let's go macro.
