Junior's Reef

[intyme]

I have 2 powerheads, One blowing across the top of the tank, and the other one about 6 to 8 inches above the sandbed, my gsp is right in the middle of the tank on the bed. I wonder if they aren't getting enough flow

Hi Gary,

How much nipping is that Semi doing? Are all the polyps in on your acros?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Hey Ed- semi is definitely more nippy on polyps than other Chaetodonts I've had but the fish isn't killing any corals or even slowing down their growth (as far as I can tell).

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Messing with resize. Stinks.

Amazing tank. Very impressed with the butterfly.
Thinking of introducing a naughty butterfly myself...:uhoh2:

I guess with enough big colonies he can spread the nipping around???

:wave:

impossible to see in this kitchen side view

main gyre flowing -----> from left to right in this pic.
MP60 is set to oppose this flow every 5 minutes and shoots UNDER the main gyre located at the surface.

None of the corals are new...I've had them all for a very long time...except for the Milka frag from RandyO
