Thanks! I am actually looking now for a larger tank. Its a lot of work because if i upgrade the tank i will need to upgrade the stand, sump, lights, skimmer, etc. I am thinking 90g will suite my needs but i wont it to be only 20 inches deep max.

Looking good Chris!! Let me know if you're getting rid of anything else. My upgrade is up and running (check out my tank journal in my sig)... but it's looking pretty bare. I could use a few pieces. As well, I have a bunch of frags that you may or may not be interested in. Shoot me a message and maybe we can find a time to meet up.

BTW... 90g is too small!! It won't be long after that you're thinking bigger again... and we all know what wives have to say about that kind of thing!! lol You're right though... it's a ton of work! I'm so glad to be in the home stretch.

I upgraded to a 90g (had to sell due to a move and new house not being ready, I'm currently homeless) and all I could think was that 18" wasn't wide enough and 4 feet wasn't long enough. My new tank will be 24" wide minimum and as close to 6 feet as my space allocated will allow. The width was what really bothered me though.

Replacing some of those koralias with vortechs might give him a few more inches/months in the tank LOL. Really unique look and super sweet colonies I dig!

I recently upgraded the flow. I had one koralia 3 and and one k2, plus the flow from my returns. I got rid of the K2 and upgraded to 2 k3's. I havent noticed anything in regards to increase growth or color and its been about 2 months i think. I only upgraded because as the corals grew in the flow is restricted. The only time i really notice ioncreased growth rates is when i spot feed which i havent done in months but used to do all of the time.

i am worried the mp's would cause a sand storm or have to much flow for corals directly in its path.

Lol... I think he's implying that the mp's are significantly smaller!

My bad i took it the wrong way. i thought you meant if i increased the flow more i would have even betetr growth. yeah the K's do shade a large area.
