Boy there must have been some stash of carpets found. In ten years I have never seen such a large quantity of carpets come available like this.

Anyhow, without seeing yours, your description alone pegs these as the gigantea carpets that have been popping up all over the place.

So, do a search on "Stichodactyla gigantea".

I would think your lighting will be adequate. More important however is flow, carpets need a lot of flow. Ideally, a surging current or a wavemaker alternation of flow is good.

I've got ~600gph coming from my return, 2 K3 powerheads at 850gph each and a single K1 at 400gph, so 2700gph, which is roughly 38x turnover. I am looking at dumping the K1 and one of the K3's in favour of a Vortech though.

Lighting should be adequate. One of my customers got one from me - you can check the pics and his set-up here:

That looks pretty much the same as the one I'm hoping to snag.

Thanks for the link.
