    I've noticed that with my 10k's as well... My monti caps are starting to get bigger which is exciting for me, and a few of my mushrooms are as well, However my zoas are not, :( I figured they would expand faster then my Monti's..

    Ive got some polyps that just do not seem to spread next to each other as I would think they would they just seem to pop up in different places.

    Well I am officially hooked on the vortech MP40W. this thing puts out some serious flow compared to my koralias. I was able to set it tonight so I could feed my fish and the food wasnt blowing all around. I was also able to set the night mode when the lights went out so the fish were able to go to bed and not be blowed all around. It is expensive and there are other cheaper options out there to get the same flow but this thing is just cool 8)

    They are pretty cool. the functions are great, but the flow is phenominal.

    The flow is awesome. Within 10 mins the polyps on my corals were coming out so much they didnt look like the same corals. It made a world of difference.

    Been doing some tinkering with the tank. I took out a couple of leathers and replaced with some base rock to put some more frags on. I figured I would post a few pics to keep the thread updated. I also have some more thoughts on the new MP40W that I installed on my tank..It is awesome. My corals seem to love the increased flow and im still getting some great polyp extension. Heres a few pics. theyre not the best but hope you like them anyway.

    Thanks PC the vortechs are awesome.

    Well went to the LFS today for some things and got a blue damsel for my baby girl. The story of that is on the pico thread. But For all the trouble he did give me a good deal on a red finger gorgonian. Heres a few pics to update. Im happy with them :) hope you enjoy.
