And here are some shots of my 75g. I left my orange back wrasse and my baby bangaii in there. And a pic of the wrasse in the 29g.

I havent had any clams in a long time. Two died from some kind of dissease and I gave the other one to a friend. I might get a maxima or a squamosa for the 180 but only one.

Looking good Matt!!!
Which program are you running in the 7095 and what percentage of flow are you letting out? I'm still trying to find the optimum and I'm currently running the pulse on 80%. I need to change the placement of the streams from pointing straight at each other, to be more angled like yours.

Dont have them on pulse. You want the left one on then the right one on. Not both at the same time. Cause if you have one on then the other, your sand wont go everywhere. I have mine on 100% then 0% when the other one is on and so on. So it is sequence1 and I have them alternate about ever 4 secs.

How do you have yours hooked up to the controller... A and B or A and C etc.?

I put it on sequence 1 and then one of the pumps plugged into the plug on the far right and one plugged into the plug on the far left. So A-D

And having it like this gives you a little bit of a wave.
Actually it gives me a lot of ripple and I'm only running it on 80%. I had the streams pointed straight at each other so the turbulence was quite a show :)

What model pumps do you have? I have 6101 and they are at 100% on the little box thing and on the controller.

I've got the 6100's but otherwise the same setup. My controller is 7095. I put in new impellers when the streams went into this setup.

Are the 6100s more or less powerful then the 6101? I tried to look them up but couldent mind them. I do get sand storms if I point them certain ways. But I wanted as much flow as pssible so I do my best to keep as much and not get sand storms.

I think the 6100 is 10gph less than the newer 6101. It pushes 3160 gph per ph.

Well I ended up with 4 carpenter wrasse instead of 3
And I am using my 75g as a QT instead of my 29g. And left my 75g as a frag tank. If I need to treat any fish I will just put them in the 29g to treat them. And this way when I get a tang or two they will have more swimming room in the 75.
Other then that not much has changed. Added a few corals here are there. Alot of the algae is starting to go away. I did a few big water changes yesterday and the day befor and got alot of snails while I was at work sunday.
Here are some pix of the 180 and then some of the wrasses. I plan on moving the wrasses over to the 180 in 3-4 weeks. And then I think the next fish will be a copperband.
