Hi bro, have been using this settings since around Oct. Can see the zoas open up all the way and no stretching of the polyps. Previously was only around 6 inch away from the tank. Now is at 10 inch from the tank. I prefer around 5-6 hours of full light for the corals to absorb them.

Thanks bro.. Was looking for someone to help with settings. Looking forward to try this tomorrow.

Love your tank setup !!

Do you smell what my tank is cooking..

Very nice bro.. my new tank will look quite alike urs.. overflow same corner.. just that mine is 2ft height..

Like to ask did u glue the LRs to make that bridge look?

Bro, just make sure the overflow is not next to your outflow.. i have to diy the pipe to place it to the end of it.. still working to get it right position.

The LR just stacking.. jeffery from westcoast aquarium help to place it.. he said if you plan too much on stacking.. its not going to get what you want.. just put piece.. its going to surpise you..

I found a long piece of LR at aquamarin to connect the 2 island.. i wanted to make it look like mbs..

haha bro..like ur MBS rock scape..

Outflow mean return pipe?..return pipe same side as overflow is ok provided the flow is strong enough..u face problem with outflow same side as overflow that causes u to diy the pipe that's 45° sloping down in ur tank?..

The return pipe still working on it.. so not too ugly.. its to push the waste on the sandbed to a area easy for cleaning.

What problem u face with both at the same end? I believe at same end, lesser pipe to b used thus stronger flow..all piping hidden oso..

My tank still in progress..target after xmas..
