Replacing some of those koralias with vortechs might give him a few more inches/months in the tank LOL. Really unique look and super sweet colonies I dig!

I recently upgraded the flow. I had one koralia 3 and and one k2, plus the flow from my returns. I got rid of the K2 and upgraded to 2 k3's. I havent noticed anything in regards to increase growth or color and its been about 2 months i think. I only upgraded because as the corals grew in the flow is restricted. The only time i really notice ioncreased growth rates is when i spot feed which i havent done in months but used to do all of the time.

i am worried the mp's would cause a sand storm or have to much flow for corals directly in its path.

Lol... I think he's implying that the mp's are significantly smaller!

My bad i took it the wrong way. i thought you meant if i increased the flow more i would have even betetr growth. yeah the K's do shade a large area.

I thought this would be fun to look at. The first picture is the tank currently and the second was it about 8-9 months ago. There are no new corals in the tank. They tank has been rescaped numerous times and corals have been removed, maybe even half of them have been sold off but there is not a single new coral in the tank. I didn’t realize the growth was that good? It’s even better when you take into consideration there was a two month period with no growth after I messed up my alkalinity.

Holy GROWTH batman! That radioactive dragon eye colony practically exploded, well everything practically exploded! For such a simple tank you sure know what your doing Chris!
