As I've said before, love pictures of this tank! If this tank were at my house, I would never get anything done! Excellent work.

Thank you. My wife thinks I don't get much done - I often get lost for hours at a time in the fish room, etc.

Yesterday I took my large green polyp toadstool out of the display and put into the 130 gal in the fish room so I could make way for an XL elegance. The clowns quickly adapted from living in the toadstool to moving into their new home but what I found interesting is one of my neon cleaner gobies has taken up a spot in it as well. I had no idea they also liked to host with corals.

Question Greg: what's the first picture in post #139? I have a frag off a coral that looks like this one. The guy I acquired it from couldn't remember what it was called.

I believe it is a variety of acropora nasuta and my specimen was originally collected in Fiji.

Greg, what's that crazy hairy pink/red mille? That thing looks unreal.

This beauty. Was this like right when the lights went on or something? Crazy extension on it.

That one has changed a lot - it now looks like this. Polyp extension is even more extreme and to me kind of look like fur or something. The polyps are like this all the time - you can see how the flow hits it and exposes the yellowish corallites.

Any idea what it is? Wish I could get a drag from you, but I'm sure it's a total pain since you're in Canada.

It was sold to me as "Sun God" mille'

Thanks - the return is a dart but the flow is mainly generated by vortechs in lagoon mode -
3 x MP60W @ 70%
5 x MP40WP @ 100%

Really? Why lagoon mode?

I have found that it gives a better flow pattern for my tank than the reef crest. What mode do you use?

Beautiful tank and corals! Really like that fuzzy pink milli! (who doesn't)

I just added an mp40QD last night to my mp10 in a 65gal tall. I changed my overnight to lagoon now instead of constant. During the day I'm running reef crest and nutrient export from about 7p to 11p. Im just starting, tank going for 3 months now after cycle. So what do I know.
