Thanks. I have 100 nassarius snails, 5 Turbos, cleaner shrimp, Green serpent star, 5 emerald crabs, and a couple hermits crawling around. The red and green algae is rock hard-I've tried scraping it off and it won't budge. I have a tiny bit of hair algae but between my turbo's and my molly-its...

Well I cant have y'all doubting me so.......

Well I pulled the trigger and went with Green Torch

Are you running with a Durso (?) pipe? If so, I think you would be ok. Mine has enough water to keep a large heater fully submerged even if I lose power. Does your overflow drain out completely if you lose power?

"I don't use bioballs but beads" at a quick glance I was officially laughing my ass off (though there were 2 "T"s there for a sec). I ditched my bioballs along time ago in favor of rubble rock.

I think Im going to go with Green Torch. When people say moderate flow-would having #1 Koraila (spelling ?) pointed just above it costitute "medium flow"?

Im still in preliminary stages right now. In a perfect world, I'de have all of them but for now Im ashamed to say that price may be a big factor.

How would Torch Coral compare to the original three?

excellent-I like the way coral looks on rock an just sitting on the bottom anyways. I think I have the perfect spot for them in mind.

I have 4 bulb 216w T5s

Thats great to hear-er-read. Speaking of placement, would I need to put them in the upper portion of the tank for more lighting or are my t5's enough to put them anywhere?

Oh no no-its listed as: Frogspawn-expert, Hammer-moderate, Bubble-easy.

I see on this web site that they are listed as expert, moderate, and easy. Is the care for them really that much different?

Im thinking about adding a new coral in a week or so. Right now I have Xenia, shrooms, and a tiny piece of orange Montipora that seems to be hanging on. I really like the looks of Frogspawn, hammer, and bubble coral. Of those 3 which would be better suited in my tank. Its a 75 with 216 watts...

Cool-I do so love the "dont change anything" plan of attack

For what its worth, I had one in a 55 for 2 years, until I broke down the tank and sold it all. I found that getting them to eat frozen/prepared food is the hardest part.

75 gal with 55 gal sump/refuge. Rio 1000 gph but I know Im not getting anywhere near that.

anyone one else want to weigh in?

Could you silicone some magnet cleaners to the back and mount it that way? Thats what I did with my powerhead.

I feel like a newb for asking this but......... Would I be better off reversing my sump? Right now I have it draining straight down (about 3 feet) and flowing from left to right to the return pump. My return line is about 6' long and raises 4 feet with one 90 at the top. Would I be better...
