my mExi turbo Snail destroyed what hair algae i use to have.. he would leave just enough on the glass to grow back then mow it down a little while later..
dual overflows or a single? 1" ID pvc is rated for 600GPH at gravity flow. you could even get a little more by using thin wall seeing that there is no pressure on the drains. you could keep the sea swirls and get rid of the other two lines. Maybe get a used MP40w because i dont think your gunna...
if you want to keep the over the back stuff then you could use a Flow Changer such as sqwid and just have the hammerhead pumping it. My reeflo Marlin pumps plenty upstairs to my 120 and i have it less then half open.
As for the rock i would cycle it again because even though it has sat it will...
the best thin i have heard for the APEX is to get it to where you can go online and do everything.. it has a Built in Web server and its own web page so you can name everything and control it from anywhere.
i would trim it do a water change and run the skimmer wet..

I run this tank as a mixed reef like the big one was.. pretty much anything reef safe gets put in the tank. Plenty of shrimp starfish crabs and numerous fish including two small Hippos. We feed heavy so noone goes hungry and the corals get food . For some reason my MSX just isnt producing like...
i'm thinking of going a different route with my skimmer. I have a MSX250 with the 2 Sicce 2500's and i cant get it to work properly anymore. Maybe because i dont have the volume 300+ gals i used to have and the bioload. anyways i'm going to run a airline outside to draw in fresh air and see if...
Alot.. a decent amount falls to the sand but once the Vortech kicks back on it goes into the water column again.. I have a decent amount of fish and lots of shrimp/crabs too though
