PM feature has the same rules as the forum. You can privately e-mail each other though.
Very nice pieces, I like the Acro and the Mille, of course. As stated earlier, the SPS need lots of flow, good (stable) water parameters, low trate, low PO4, good Alk,Cal,Mg(I try to keep these on the higher side), and very good(intense lighting). It should grow pretty fast if it is happy. Try not using the flash on your camera, it helps a bunch. You can try the tips in the Photography forum sticky. Good luck, I hope everything goes well.

Sounds good so far, but like teen posted flow is a big factor. My flow is roughly 35X's tank volume. Some of my shrooms don't like it all that much, but they are just shrooms to me, I guess. They get blown right off the rock, or move themselves trying to find a lower flow area. I have a Kenya Tree that doesn't really like it either, oh well. Everything else loves the flow.

I had it full blast befor but my sand was piling up.I guess I will have to figure something out to solve this without compromising flow.

Yes, mine moves around some too. The funny thing is, it sort of moves back into place after awhile, then some mounds appear again and so on. Good luck.

I just ordered 2xSEIO 1100 Pump 1100gph I am going to get rid of the rio sump and put the 2 in the tank they say they use less electric and are cooler to.Anyone have these that could give me some feed back on them?
I looked at all the coral and they have little tenicles coming out so it can be that bad I don't think
Also I have a little giant pump and a ocean clear filter system If I run this and take out my magnum 350 will this make my tank cycle or would it be ok I would still have my wet/dry runing.If I do do this I might as well hook the chiller up to since it is just collecting dust in the closet.
