    My quick video of my tank and fuge. I would like any comments and concerns about it. I would like to know if the flow over the xenia is to much? also I know I have many of the bad anemones but I have not had a chance to get rid of them. the color of the video isnt the best, but hoping you get the idea and can give me some feed back.

    Tank looks good, like your scaping. Flow looks too high. Just aim your Koralias across the top parallel to each other (toward each other but a couple of inches off line). This will take some of the direct flow off the rock and create turbulent flow over it.

    ok so I changed the flow from the video, now the xenia looks so much happier. the Anemone is a TLA, he opens up really wide but does still have curly tips...is this a sign of it being unhappy?

    thank you have had many issues to go through, from skimmer, GHA, to nitrate. now have the GHA gone, skimmer I did some mod's to an works well, and will have a my spectrapure RO/DI delivered tomorrow, so the nitrate issue should come down some and also added chaeto to my sump.

    Um...yup about 10 degrees here wind chill is at or below zero. so love my pellet stove!!!
