Brando's Red Sea Max 130D of Fun

[Brando457]

Definitely liking the switched out pumps too. More flow and quieter.

Here is how I mounted my mp10.

Brian? Brian who??? Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!!! Shhhhh don't tell anyone.

Oh you! See you tomorrow!

Nice and clean Brandon! Is that a wireless MP10?

 

[Brando457]

Yes sir it is!

 

[FishBrain]

I have my MP10 controller mounted on the door like that, but on the other door.

 

[Brando457]

I only have one door :/

Professional screw-up lol

I did one to the bottom and one midway, you don't want them next to each other as drawing too much water from one point in such a small volume would cause problems.

I am switching to an ecotech led once it comes in.

gotcha, i tried this company and like the results I have had for 6 months now with keeping the hood stock, they have a retro fit LED kit for the 130D.

They want $600 for a retrofit hood, that is insane! A retrofit kit from any reputable place is $200-$300 tops typically.

For that price an extra $150 gets you the ecotech and more light and features.

 

[skimmerdude2]

That prices is for them installing it into your hood, I bargained with them and got it for $400. and installed it myself, it does have the cree LEDS which are 3 watt and reliable. I just wanted to keep the stock look and evaporation down.

Same here Brandon. :cheers:
Lmk when you need some starter coral.

 

[Brando457]

Thanks guys!! Bob how is the 125 and Pauli how is the 150?

I'm hoping to get my led light end of month and then probably want to add corals :x. Between buying this light and a few new suits + the previous vet bills = sad time lol.

 

[pauliwalnuts]

Tank seems to be ok for now.
I've some great starter sps coral. Whenever you're ready, all you have to do is stop by.

 

[Brando457]

Thanks hopefully if I get this new job I can stop by. Trying to find a new job before I go traveling anywhere lol.

Although Felix shipped 10 acans to me and the tank is looking nice right now.

 

[Brando457]

I think by summer I'm going to try to find a 75g or a 48 x 24 x 21 tank if I can and upgrade to that.

Only thing I don't want a normal corner overflow, I want one like glassholes where it doesnt take up the entire tank!

75 DB rimless had overflow in the middle. No sure about their reg rimmed tanks

Isn't theirs though huge? From their 57g tank it takes up a good amount of space

They now have a 90 gallon rimless as well. Saw it it the other day at Aquatic Obsessions and it looked amazing.
Btw, I don't think their over flow is big at all. Jmo.
