Gotta thank @TSMcorals again! Just got the most beautiful pair of Lineatus Wrasse I've seen. The girl is 5 x better looking than my old male. The new male well you'll see for yourself in the pics.

This is the girl

So happy together

Security System

The male is so colorful that he makes the carpets look just awesome.

How much flow are you going to try and push through the sump?

Trying to double it. Current return pump is one vectra L1. Is line to add a current USA pump which is rated at 3250 gph. The vectra pumps 3100. Obviously not all that flow actually gets delivered so I'm guessing that boy pumps will be closer to 2-2400 gph each in actuality

What did we come up with when talking? 7-8 times turn over?

locito277 · Jun 11, 2017

Close to it yea. If you go by rating. It's closer to 9 x

justingraham · Jun 11, 2017

I think that will help out tons but I could be wrong

Wow, that's a massive amount of flow through the sump. What are you having issues with algae?

Nitrates. Now I'm having issues with a pump failure that controls a bunch of stuff. Getting that fixed ASAP and starting new with SPS. I was only doing ok but I had a bunch of pieces. Not much growth I must say though.

We will see. Extra flow will always help and my caulerpa is thick. I took out 2 k a today and it's still got a lot in there. I feed about a couple of handfuls a week plus the usual pruning.

What u end up hitting today my tank stoped at 79.1 a full degree higher then it has ever been. Trying to figure out next move. I have two more computer fans but no room to put them. Also have an ac unit but no window to vent it out.
