Looking at it now you might be right on that. I think I will not order the damsels, even thought they are listed as peaceful. Got a sea hare in there for the hair algae.

Not to put a damper on your wish list, but don't count on your sea hare to keep HA under control
Better off not overstocking to begin with :lol:

I'm trying my best to stick with the rule of 4" of fish per 10g of habitable water, but it's hard to do in a 75g, especially when most of the fish I want are 4+ inches each

WTH guys, 40x flow is like the MINIMUM.

I have like 90x flow and I just keep zoas and LPS -____-

Anyway, just don't be a dummy and put animals in front of the muzzle of your powerhead. Problem solved.

I think 'muzzle' is the keyword here :mrgreen:

And Albert, we're talkin' reef tanks here, not your lap pool :razz:

lolwut? Should I go retrieve my rapier?

Err, hwhaaatt ??
Keep your glove on Albert, just poking fun at your flow references :smile:
I thought it quite amusing, but may have lead the layman astray, err what hrmm hmm hmm

I'm with Albert on this one.
40 is a min flow, I would go more but what's more important is how you active that flow.
You only need about 10 x through the sump if you have a sump that can't handle the high flows. There was a huge three on this a couple years ago. Do a search and you''ll find lots of info.

Is it Divine?

Currently using an outboard boat motor with a 55g surge system on my 40g.












Otherly known as an MP10.

wow thats some mp10 , mine hits 100% from time to time in a 25 g , with a koralia 1050 in there.....

base flow on your own tank and livestock , start average and add as necessary as your system comes together;)

thats what that smell of gas was.....your outoard motor lol
