![]() My wife likes the minimalist reef look.
I am an even worse OCD addict than you, so I usually end up with the maximized reef look. |

![]() Noticed some diatom patches on my very clean sand bed. Would this be a mini cycle due to extra rocks added? Is this bad should do something about it or just let it be.

![]() I like more and then more rock. My fish also love this. If my sps ever grow to the size of some, I may not like it but for now thats my choice......

I've got 4 powerheads in my 75 and a speedwave 2640 return and I'm still finding I want more flow IMO flow is one of the many keys to success with sps

![]() On the subject of flow, the more rock, I think the more flow you want. I have a medium rock load, 2 x Tunze 6100, 1 x WP60, 2 x Tunze 6085 and a Maxijet for fun
![]() FWIW, I think your before pic is better. Allows more flow and still has enough room to grow out corals. IMO, the more rock, the more nutrient build up occurs.

![]() Damn that's a lot of of power heads. I guess I should add another hydor 1500 I have laying around. I'm gonna order a WP40 with a variable power supply and just use that only or should I just get a wp25 instead? What size is ur tank?

I will occasionally move the pumps around to change the flow, this tends to stir up the dead spots.

![]() I found turning the pumps off for 5 minutes then back on will stir up a lot of detritus as well
Adding a mp10 to my tank on pulse mode ontop of my Korilias did a lot as far as detritus export

![]() My newly cut frags i made during my rearrangements in the tank has gone all pale. Why did this happen? Is it because I left them in a small container with a tiny bit of water for about 4 hours while I was rearranging my tank?
