    Well I have decided to trade in my large ForgSpawn and Hammer coral, I have been playing with flow and in order to please my SPS my LPS are pretty upset.

    Plus on the upside this will give me some prime real-estate for some nicer SPS.

    It grew so darn fast! I traded half of it a few months back and it all grew back already. This was one of my first corals but now it's time to go and let something else take its spot.


    Anyone have ideas what could do in its place?

    Good thinking! Or maybe Red Planet.. This area will have extreme flow ( directly next to my mp10)

    my bonsai frag is really tiny. It held up reasonably well during my alk issue. Hopefully yours is a quick grower keep it in moderate light to have that intense purple coloration.

    Thanks for the tip, I'll place it on the lower level of the frag tree and see how it reacts. What's the flow like in your tank where the bonsai is located?

    I would say 'decent.' Its tought to say its right on line from my mp40 at about 80% almost 2 feet away? Flow is one of those things that always baffles me.
