The suction part in your sump then the return into your DT, the FX 5 actually does not come with any media, they figure you should put it what you want for your application.

I originally ran an FX 5 on my tank before I swiched to a sump. Would you pull out of the sump and then return to the DT via a spray bar, what are your thoughts on that. They are a good canister, but I also hear a lot of good things with the eheim, but I don't think they make one that big...

What size pump do you run on your sump? Does the water look clear in the tank? Would a sock for a few days help to get the bigger stuff out? Just thinking out loud meowzer. I think you have too much in your tank as well.

A 90 gallon would be great for a few dwarf lions.

Can you say ALGAE SCRUBBER

I LIKE IT !!!!!

Funny you said that Joe, because I have a PH above this monti pushing down, maybe that is the problem.

Relatively fast growth on this one, check out slice's orange monti it is outstanding, more cupping on the growth, must be a different type.

Thanks Luvmyreef

Here are a few shots of my monti corals. The orange one has been in the tank for a while and the green one about 6 months, the green one is finally starting to show some growth. There are two green monti's one is next to the cave I made on my OF - if you guys remember from my build. Thanks...

Oh I wasn't pulling a tang ploice on you, I was just thinking for my 65 reef - but they get a bit too big for that tank. Keep the pictures coming and how about a FTS ;)<

+1 on the pictures Shawn, you have some great stuff there I see a few gate and ball valves you can use. Get some more pictures and we can help you out a bit more.

Looks really good - love the chevron tang - how big do they get by the way.

Whoah - A goes to A - I don't even know where to start

A lot of people use reactors here, just trying to save you some cash. When I built my sump I made the first baffle further from the second and added an eggcrate to spport a media bag, I will send you pictures tonight, just going home from work. To be honest I really don't use any media in my...

I add Seachem Reef Builder to my Top off water, about I teaspoon per 5 gallons. But you have to play around with that this is based on my evaporation rate. They sell this stuff here.
