    Yeah, I've had floods also. I was going to go w/ the CPR aqua lifter version but I like to live on the edge and the difference between a $100 something overflow and a $30 overflow is worth the risk. The floods I have had were all out of MY stupidity not acts of god, so as long as I keep up the human sacrifices I SHOULD be good!!;D

    Thanks unclejed! I choose to have all the PHs towards the because I had two others on the side but the flow was RIDICULOUS!! I still have 43 or so times turn over, with the other two I had like 50 and all the LPS couldn't handle it, they barely can now. I am planning on moving things around but I have very little free time at the moment. I have been working 60 hr weeks so I have little time to tweak the tank. I also need to redo my frag tank, redo the plumbing to accomadate a new light on the frag tank. Adjust the PHs, and quite frankly get some more pieces in there.

    Great pics! That german blue polyp digitata will hopefully regain its color. When I first got mine it took about 2weeks for the good growth to start and almost a month to regain color. It is my favorite coral in my tank. I love watching it grow.

    The polyps are a great blue but the skeleton is still grey, BUT it goes like .5cm a day on all tips so Im not going to complain.
    I will keep you posted w/ growth pics!

    The fuge is a 29gal and the frag is a 30 gal BREEDER tank, I wanted to go bigger but thats all I could fit. If only custom tanks weren't so expensive!!::)

    I love how you setup the frag tank underneath. Everything looks awesome!
