So when you get bored you buy MP40's. Hmm

Best way to know if your fish are working hard is to look at their tails......if they use their tails lots, then they are working hard.......Ive got 10000 gph inside a 110g display and the only fish that I have that seems to have trouble with the flow is my clowns (but they aren't the best swimmers to begin with)......IMO anything we do for flow inside our little glass boxes pales in comparison to what mother nature can put across a reef

And Leah......I can think of funner things to do when Im bored
