    Nice set up as usual.....Tell me what the advantages are with the little giant's vs the Mag series. I am in transition, getting rid of my Rio 2100+ to replace with a two Mag 7s thus doubling my current sump/tank circulation. Thanks dude.

    I'm about finished with my cycle. It's been 7 weeks.

    I'll keep everyone posted.

    An update.

    Here are some pics to satisfy all. Haven't been too vocal lately, but I'm here and read the forum pretty regularly. I'm reaching the end of my apprenticeship as an electrician in the making, and I've been working on some mind-numbing complex motor installation/wiring, and my brain has been quite occupied.

    My newly redone 90 gal has finished cycling. I've added a koralia 4, and along with the Koralia 3 facing the surface, and the Vortech screaming from the left, I've got some mondo water movement. The fish love it and the yellow polyp has never looked happier. The bubble coral and my greenish mushrooms made it through the 55 containment. I unfortunately wasn't so lucky with the hammer, the frogspawn and a few clumps of zoas.

    The pics in no particular order:

    Send 'em to me! I'll pay shipping. :)

    No mods to the Coralife skimmer. It skims very well. It's worlds better than the 125.
