New Video! I moved one of the wavemakes up to the tops back corner to give more flow in the center where I usually mount acros. @billyocean I tried to focus on the Rainbow Proc at one point, so you, and everyone can see my current flow now that I've changed it a little. Acros will always be around where the rainbow is, or the next rock shelf up. Let me know what you all think on the flow in that area now :)


And if you want to see how dirty the tank was with algae, watch the video from yesterday or the day before showing all the Bryopsis and algae lol

There isn't nor will there be an issue of engagement and posts in sbb sale threads with or without changes to the sales rules. This is where most of us meet up and hang regardless and will continue to be.
Except I've been stupid busy lately and haven't been able to be around as much as I'd have liked.

The tank looks awesome! Cant wait to see it grow out!

Since you were asking for feedback:
the coral at 1:30 has good flow, but could probably take more if it's indirect flow
The euphillia can definitely have more flow. torches more than the others
the top center rock may be a bit high if you're gonna have acros up there - from a grow out perspective

They are on the round disc of the old Frag post. The ones I’m looking at moving are ones that haven’t grown real well and have not encrusted off their disc yet. I was thinking of just glueing them with their disc onto a new Frag post.
That's what I do for things that I want to move back onto a rack. PXL_20230720_011633164.jpg

How are they attached to rocks now? Did you attach plug/disc or take frag off and attach direct to rock? Did it encrust onto rock any yet?
i dont like the look of the round disk when it's been encrusted over, so I always remove the ceramic plug If i can

Most will be placed where the rainbow proc. is, and on the rocks to the left that's empty currently. I plan to put another wavemaker back where the one I moved to the back wall is also. That way it helps the torches flow back to how it was :)

It can handle more flow. As I've said before..acros have a barrier around them that you gotta break through with flow and that encourages nutrient import/export..Best gif I can find for a visual is this

Dude Rennurdoar! That camera is awesome. Tank looking phenomenal. That was the first time I’ve ever watched a posted video on here and felt like I was actually standing in front of the tank. You can see every polyp. Wow I need a new phone. I did spot that awesome green Yuma in there too.
