Full shot





I was thinking about using these velocity stackers for the return but upon closer inspection I think they will limit flow rate so opted not to go with them.

So the thought behind this build...

Macro rocks-no pest

Low fish load-one achilles, one yellow, sunbrust anthias, pair of black ice clowns and inverts. (subject to change)

Coral-sps dominate(fresh cuts only) LPS....I don't know...maybe.

Bare-bottom-easy to maintain.

Current-Lots of flow.

Take it slow and do it right.
