Well if I could help you out I would, but last I checked these things need water. And I am a ways away from having the "right stuff". But I could guarantee that the would be no fragging. What about at tank at the store for the time being?

Well I suppose the store is an option, but I wouldnt have control of who ended up with it. Its really important to me that it goes to someone that A) knows what they are doing, and B) someone who values the size of the thing. Ive also noticed that my red blastos havnt fully expanded since the addition of the vortech, so that may be another one that may have to be re-homed. Im gonna try moving it around to see if I can find a better place for it. The vortech is great and I really like it but its creating all kinds of havoc with my overflows. The stream is too powerful to leave going when I feed the tank, but when I put it in feed mode my overflows go all crazy and I have to re-adjust them. Oh the problems we face

I was looking at those Vortecs at RC the other day, pretty insane. Id like to see the flow it create, has to be fairly large seeing the under toe/current they say it creates.

Maybe you should just keep the frogspawn and donate the Vortech to a good cause... like someones bigger tank..

I'll have to swing by sometime and have a peak at this thing..

Water change day, so that means clean glass and happy corals.

Nice birdnest! I have a recent fascination with the different birdnests lately... When I worked at J&L there was a shipment that came in where the birdnests were bright pink, and the polyps were NEON purple/blue. They were RAD. Sold in like 2 hours.
