Okay so today i got most of my coral mounted. all that is left is to mount the zoas. maybe add some rics. just a heads up i am totally going to abuse the larger than a twoonie rule with a YEAH LARGE ric.

Going to add a second PH i think so hoping the budget has some room .

Yah I was running a koralia 1 and it just wasnt moving water around enough for me. Upped it to a koralia 4 and holy water movement. Maybe thats what broke the tank.....

2 1's would probably work good for you....or just upgrade to a 2 or 3 as that may be cheaper.

That's Ok, my one maze brain is pretty big, if it was in a standard 10gal you wouldn't be able to clean the glass with a magnet.

i have already tried a 2 and thought it was too much in one spot for such a small tank. going to add a nano to the opposite back corner from the 1. i am hoping this will help draw more water through the refug as well. i had to put a piece of brance rock into it as i have had a hard time with crabs falling in. i changed the rock structure quit a bit so i dont think it will be and issue but i will leave this piece for now.

good thing for that budget increase.

WHens the vote for the second budget increase. 0- 50- 100????????

Well we are still well under $500 for the tank and thats a pretty low budget still. but i guess i should have voted for a larger increase the first time.

Yeah I just thought it was funny because we'll see how many other people will be wishing the same thing in a few weeks/months but we just made a change already a little while ago.

I guess we'll just have to hope things grow like crazy

Especially when things start dying, jumping out of tanks, and running into powerheads....
