    You're not lying. I recently got a MP 40. I only have it up 50%. The hardest thing about it is finding low flow areas to keep my LPS happy. The two are not really compatible. I really need more SPS colonies to break the flow better!;D

    So it was time for some work. The sump needed cleaning and I had to redo my drain a little. Re plumbed the reactor with a bigger pump. I needed to change the rocks a bit to make some permanent homes for all the frags I have added lately.

    So here is how it came out. Went to the LFS and got some flat Lace Rock peices with holes to make things work better.

    Here is a nice flat piece with mt frags. Blue Acro, Purple Haze Monti, GARF BOnsai stick :), and a Supeman Monti. The Hammer frag is coming along.

    Duncan is coming a long too. This was just a good pic.

    I got a piece of ORA Purple Plasm. It is growing and coloring up nice. I'm really lovin it.

    I also started running GFO. Not sure where I started. I got a DD Merck PO4 test kit. Quite expensive at $80. But it is high sensitivity. Well I'll have to say it's a waste of $80. I have good color vision, and at the low end it is pretty worthless. We are suposed to keep things below .03. Well the last 3 color samples are .03 and below, and I can't tell any real difference. Depending on what scale I read I', at .0 or .03. What it does tell me is that I'm not high. I'm in the ball park and running GFO will take care of it. But as far as giving me a reading, it sucks.

    That Monti is HUGE. That's like 6 months. It is the fastest growing thing in my tank.

    OH YA..... Stay tuned.... at the end of this month, it will be time for my quarterly growth shots! Can't wait

    And that Plasma.... well that grower of mine sold it for $30. When he went to get it he realized it was an ORA, but I got other stuff too so he just said screw it. SCORE!
