The 15 minute intervals seemingly worked well all around. I would like to see an occasional couple sprinkles in between those too. The bigger timed drops usually equals less “coffee talk”. Most of the friends I’ve made on the forum have come from conversations that started in the sale threads.
2 40s and added a gyre not long ago. With a pie shaped tank it’s hard to run the 2- 40s over 50% and not get sand blowing out of the front corners. The gyre was added due to the torch growth and needing a little extra water churn without dialing up the 40s.
Problem is it’s not your standard 125. It’s only a 5 footer. The footprint is 5x2 and it’s only 20 inches tall. Went for a wider floor plan over head space lol. But I see all the space in your tank so that’s why I ask. Plus it will be bare bottom so sand won’t be an issue. I would go with a twin gyre setup as the amount of flow they create is actually ideal and running reverse gyre with a time gap creates awesome little eddies across the tank that completely randomize flow. Only problem? The amount of maintenance required to keep gyres running optimally drives me nuts!!! The ability to have multiple wet sides for a quick swap instead of all the work that goes into swapping gyre blades and housings seems awesome. But thanks for the tips!
I think the timing and pieces were perfect. The sale went on exactly how you explained it and the anticipation of the hunt made it even more fun! I wouldn’t have changed anything you and your team as always do amazing!
I’d prefer the 5x2 “floor plan” too. The flexibility of 4-40s compared to 2-60s would still win over in my book. Plus the preowned market is full of 40s for great prices. *A few MJ1200s on timers has worked for decades too!

Love it, I'm sure one of those are mine. Cant wait for tomorrow. 2 torches, 2 gonis, a blasto, and a duncan will be going in my tank.What I looked at ALL DAY TODAY, this was only just a fraction of today’s orders. I hope you guys that selected delivery for tomorrow enjoy your new goodies!!! Tracking should be in your emails, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out!
That is so awesome, it was may first time shopping with them but it was a great experience and I have added LRO to my short list of online coral shops. Not sure when i will be in florida next, but when I am, I'm making a side trip into the shop.
