So Finally got around to starting my tank thread.

This will be mainly an sps tank, with some zoas and palys. My lps are in another tank which I plan on getting rid of. Getting tired of my lps and wish I didn't sell my sps not too long ago.

Equipment:
- 34 Gallon Solana with stand that I purchased at a great price from
Russ at saltwatercritters. Love this tank
- AI blue lights hung by zeroedge trees
- Vortech mp10esw
- Tunze osmolator for topoff
- RKL controller to run the heater
- Tunze 9002 modded with stevieT cup
- LitermeterIII to dose once I get the sps going
- JBJ Led glo for the cheato in the back. This light is BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT!

Current inhabitants:
- 2 ORA picasso A clowns
- 1 Helfrichi firefish
- Cleanup Crew

I was only going to some zoas and fish originally after my downgrade, but after looking at some of these nano tanks decided screw it. But I was stupid and sold all my sps. Now the search to start to get same pieces back.

Thanks guys. I've always had the best luck with nanos. Easier to maintain for me personally.

I love my mp10. Once i get going with the sps, I might get another one for increased flow though.

Not better. Just I prefer more flow in different areas of the tank. The 1 mp10 i have on top left towards the front. The 2nd one I would put lower on the right side towards the back.
Even if I had an mp20 i'd do the same thing. I like to have allot of flow so there are no deadspots.

If you could get a dry dock for the center chamber the mp10 would give you plenty of flow.
