Thanks, I'll check it out. Oh, and I just finished installing the Mocean. Pics coming later.

Ryan here's a few pics of the Chromis and the eggs. Other than feeding time he/she will stand guard over these eggs against all comers. The Kole Tang is the funniest to watch: pretending to go about his own business cleaning the rock and glass all the while edging closer and closer to the eggs, until he passes the imaginary line and the Chromis dive bombs him and drives him off. I've tried numerous times to catch this on video but when I get the camera out all the fish get camera shy.

Here's a crappy video of the the new Mocean I just installed. Needs a little tweaking yet: I have the 1" outlet on it and about 900 to 1000 GPH running through it. You can see some bubbles and crap in the water due to the Mocean current hitting the Vortech currents and boiling the water surface. With a little bit of fiddling I'm sure I'll get rid of that. Over all I'm quite happy with it. It seems to be made well and is dead quiet. You can program the speed as well as the degree of rotation from 360 degrees to stationary. I was able to eliminate a couple of flat spots I had on the surface. (click on the picture)
(notice Bubba the Trigger hangin' in his own personal little flow there in the corner).

ROUND AND ROUND THE ROCKS WE GO

Finally managed to get a short video of the Kole trying another of his ploys: He swims around and around the rocks pretending to ignore the Chromis and the eggs. When the Chromis is looking the other way he swoops in and trys to grab some eggs. The Chromis and eggs are just above and to the right. click on the photo
