I decided that the ugly, power sucking, non adjustable seio power head had to go. So I replaced it with another koralia 4. So in the tank now are; 2- K4s @1200gph each, 1- K3 @850gph, 1- K2 @600gph and a conservative 700gph from the return. Thats a total of 4550gph for 43.5 Xs turnover. Hold on fishies!!!

Big ugly and bulky for sure, but I thought Seio's were otherwise fairly low wattage? Or is it just you get better gph per watt out of the Koralia's?

Looks great! Now I want to head back up north to get more SPS!

The growth photos look really great. What is the time lapse between them?

Tony, the seio is rated @ 820gph @18w. The koralia 4 is rated 1200gph @12w. So the choice was easy, plus there is the whole mounting option thing.

Caterine, the digitatas sequence is over about 10 months. Might be more impressive if I could manage to stop accidentally fragging it

. Still having PE issues with it. Great color, good growth but no PE(like in the first couple pics). The cap is about 5 months growth and the tri colour I just got at the last frag swap, what three months ago? The tri color shocked me a little, you dont notice until you start looking through old pics. I notice the change in colour but the growth surprised me.

The regal tang I had in qt went into the display a few days ago and seems to have settled in nicely. There was no issues at all between the resident kole and the newbie. I also lucked out and got a big arse black crab out of the tank when I removed a rock to frag some green monti cap for a fellow canreefer. Sounds silly but I was giddy about it for the rest of the day. Another thing I am giddy about is the new "ultra man" monti I got from Drew( Thanks again).

I know how you feel! Yesterday I found my pistol shrimp had taken out a hitchhiker crab and was desperately trying to drag it's carcass back into his rock. Put me in a good mood all day

The monti looks awesome! How long has it been in your tank?

The monti just went in on saturday. Drew says it crazy orange so I expect once it settles in it will be pretty nice.
