You mean like the Pink Smoothie?
I just found out Ben still has the old Blue Argon.
Those sound nice. What about the starbright?

Did you guys ever decide on a name for Johns purple table? Did "tubs last supper" table stick?

Why does everybody ask for that thing? It was a Tonga wild coral John got it right before the Bay Area heat wave two years ago (or last year). He might have snapped some off before it died, but not to us.
Not enough to go around of that thing right now. I bet it looks awesome in John's tank.
I also saw the purple table in Eriks tank. It is a really nice piece. Dakan said he would get me a piece next time, but that was like 5 times ago. Sometimes its more hassle than its worth just for one piece with 6 hours of different dips and then inspecting and then gluing it down. I think he has three pieces for me, so I might need to collect here soon enough.

Hi Mark-
Yes I do have this piece. Paletta and I were at Johns house soon after he got it in and he hooked us up with frags. It is a really slow grower tho. I must have got it two years ago and its only 3" now. Lately, however, growth has sped up.
Glad to hear you located the skimmer. I apologize for not getting back to you on it. I never heard back from my contact. I need to order another myself so i will give him a call again.

I am finally getting a MP40 Gen 2 Vortec tomorrow.
I was wanting your suggestions on placement,
I was planning on putting it on the left side in the middle or so and removing one or 2 K4's.
I do not know if you remember my tank setup or not,
if you do what would you suggest?
If not, it basically has 3 k4's,
one on each side and one on the rh side of the back panel.
I was hopping to remove both rh and lh k4's and leave the k4 on the rh side of the back panel and placing the MP40 on the lh side.
Do you think this will provide enough flow?
Or should I just replace the lh k4 with the MP 40?
Also what is a good setting to start with on the wave driver?
Thanks a bunch in advance for your help.

Chris- I don't really know how much help I can be.
Flow is a tank by tank experiment. Vortechs will have a lot wider flow than the koralias. I use yellow, which is reef crest, but I also use pulse mode, which is blue.
The main thing is to make sure your polyps have enough flow. I like to see the polyps on each coral aggitated by the flow.

psss.. tell me where you get all your lps.
hahaha. please?
:lol: That is why it is called collecting Jay. You must collect them from different places. Besides, if I told you, there might not be any left for me
Just an update on my PO4 problems. I do believe that I have some PO4 bounded in my rocks or in my aragonite sand bed. I don't know if its correlated at all, but as I am bringing down my phosphates, my PH is climbing a bit. Today at the end of my lighting cycle, my PH is 8.5 
Tonight's hanna reading .23, its gradually coming down. I am hestiant on using any more media as I am afraid of a sudden drop will cause some rtn/stn.
Edit: I just tested my effluent and it was .12 :mad2: I guess I will need to add some more media this weekend.
