What's the best way to set mp40 up which mode or just play around?

chromiumlux · « **Reply #51 on:** January 12, 2013, 18:09:32 »

I have played with all the modes on my mp40s. I have found that the short wave pulse works best in my tank. But playing around with a new toy is recommended.....lol

I run reefcrest. Although since I have an apex, I change peak intensity during the day/night

yes you will need 2. an when you get your apex you will have more options.

buckeyereefer · « **Reply #56 on:** January 12, 2013, 20:37:14 »

I have a older apex jr with dc8 now think I'm going to upgrade soon to the apex lite plus it all hooked up to the solana for now anyways. As far as mp40 that's going to have to wait for now

itsalifestyle · « **Reply #58 on:** January 12, 2013, 21:04:34 »

Just set to reefcrest ill check it out

itsalifestyle · « **Reply #59 on:** January 12, 2013, 21:18:37 »

Ok I want everyone's opion on placement of mp40 in photo it's on right side. overflows on left 1800 gph mag drive return going to the right front corner I'm now thinking I need to swap aqua scape to overflow side so mp40 isnt blowing straight into rock and is blowing to overflow

If you have an apex jr, have you used all 5 modules permitted on the aquabus? If you have less than the 5 you are permitted, go ahead and get the WXM module now. You will need it no matter which apex you get.

I just have mine opposing.....the one runs in reefcrest, the other in antisync.

Don't put it too close to the rock...if you ever put anything on that rock, it will get beat to heck from the current

I'm to the point of just buying it and ill have just about everything to complete this tank for now but that is nice to know incase I change my mind. I think I'm going to have to start over with rock I kinda have to leave it where it's at due to overflow don't I

I had mine on opposite sides of the tank, at different levels vertically, in sync / anti-sync mode so that I got a nice back-and-forth and up-and-down Z type pattern.

itsalifestyle · « **Reply #64 on:** January 13, 2013, 00:29:16 »

Well problem is I only have one right now so I'm thinking I need to push water to overflow

More toys carbon / gfo from brs

Myreef55 · « **Reply #73 on:** February 01, 2013, 08:14:31 »

Man I would recomend seperate reactors for each. You will want to have diferent amounts of flow to each. I believe and correct me if im wrong but this uses one pump and both see simular flow through each.

I used to run 2 TLF reactors in unison. I had my gfo before the carbon so that the carbon didnt tumble and it helped to mop up the fines from the gfo. I think that reactor will work nicely. Plus the addition of a ball valve helps tune it in.
