    How many times have you flooded your room?

    I flooded my laundry/pantry and kitchen something like 8 times while living in Utah. I turn the unit on to refill my jug, forgot about it and woke up to a flood. I was also living on the top floor of a 3 story apartment complex at the time. Now I put my container in the washing machine basin...

    Water Flow in the Aquarium - Experiments and learnings from Jake Adams' workshop

    Interesting, especially considering I no folks that have pairs of MP 20s or 40s on 40 breader tanks. I just added another powerhead to my nano. So I have a k nano in the bottom right shooting along the sand, a k nano on the mid-upper left shooting forward, and a aquaclear 30 on the upper...

    Water Flow in the Aquarium - Experiments and learnings from Jake Adams' workshop

    I'm surprised the MP10s are working out so well for you Rod. I would have thought them to be too underpowered for a tank that large.

    question about frags

    Yes, most corals will cover whatever they are glued to. Branching lps is the big exception I can think of off the top of my head, but they can branch out to shade what the are glued to.

    Sick LED Lighting Pictures - lots of pics.

    Are you looking at these for coral growth or just color supplementation? I ask because the specs on the leds and optics aren't the greatest for growth.

    To skim or not to skim

    imo it depends on the size of your tank and what you are keeping. SPS or a larger tank, then I would say keep both. If it's a nano, then just the macro should be fine.

    Any options on wavemakers not dependent on powerheads?

    Ocean motions would be the way to go. You can also get creative with hole placement in your tank to keep plumbing to a minimum. Vortechs, though technically a powerhead, is pretty nonobtrusive as well.
