well i moved the last of my sps today and mounted them "Permanently" so it shoulld be the last aquascape change for these pieces....pics soon

Still just the clowns in there as i am trying to take this slow...... at some point i wil be adding my 3 flame wrasse so i want to make sure the tank can handle this (chemistry wise) as they are getting quite large...

Forgot to add that i dropped my Snappy's Multi colored bird and ended up with some small frags... 5 total... drop me aline if interested.

Unlike quite a few people around here your bird of many colors has many colors. I'm jealous as hell that it such a bangin' piece. Tank's off to a great start.

Little hardcore with the Zalman huh? love it.

zeah but it looks pretty cool and really wasnt that much when compared to a chiller..... between the zalman and its fans (under $200) and a 6" over the sump my heater runs on a hot day as the tank is well cooled.

Thanks man... i also have 4 small frags of that bird as i dropped it when moving to into this tank...

Next time you do a skimmer cleaning take apart the pump and check the magnet on the impeller. Sedra's are one of the kind where the heat of constant use causes them to swell up and eventually they lose their shape from being a perfect cylinder to something that bulges out a little making it a tiny bit egg shaped. If you notice any deformities you'll have your answer. Luckily they do sell replacement impellers. I noticed I got about 18 months out of an impeller when I had Sedra pumps in use.
