I had a feeling it would expand twice the size if given a chance

Well I got my new Vortech MP40's today. I set them up and fiddled with the settings for 10 minutes or so. Suddenly there was a loud thumping noise. Not to worry, it was just the sound of the old Korallias hitting the bottom of the garbage can. The MP 40's are amazing, I should have got them a long time ago. Turned on high they blow crap out of every rock in the tank. Don't need any detritus eaters with these things; crap blows up into the water column and down the overflows. I haven't decided which setting I like best yet, but am leaning toward either Long Pulse Mode or the Reef Crest Random Mode.

Almost feels like Christmas in June, if it wasn't for the 30 degee temperature I turned mine up and started to rearrange the sandbed.
