Troy, I had an odd kinda ugly manifold system I made that was a bit of PVC pipe that ran down the back corner in the tank, a T and two 45degree angles to direct water, the first T was at the bottom of the tank, about halfway down the PVC that ran down the back corner was another T that had a second T on it with a 45 again on each side of the T and then a capped off length of PVC that could be kept under the rocks. I had drilled holes in the PVC at different angles and different sizes to give me lots of water movement behind the pile of rocks. I had that on both sides of the aquarium I used a Rio 1700 to blow the water down through the PVC on each side of the tank. I fed everything to the tank, green water, mysis, Selco, flake, powdered spirulina etc etc. HOW I kept it alive is I guess a mystery, I just knew it didn't like light so I kept it out of light in a cave. I had a few caves and such through the tank as I really wanted sponges in the tank and knew with MH I wouldn't be able to have the sponge. The Carnation Coral was a spur of the moment purchase and I kept it for quite a while with out really knowing it wasn't an easy coral to keep. I managed to have my Goniopora grow substantially in the same tank and kept some hard to keep fish at the same time. Maybe I was just lucky, I suppose I was, it sure wasn't skill.
