Why didn't you catch me misspelling his name?

I didn't want to embarrass you.

This question goes to Elliott, jporter, or anyone else that has a superb tank.

How much water are you pushing into your sump per hour? I am concerned with allowing skimmer enough time to do its job vs additional water volume going through the sump. Made a post here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2430558.

Opinions seem scattered and would love to hear from people who really know what they are doing.

I prefer a rather slow water flow through the sump to enable nutrient export mechanisms to work efficiently (skimmers, ATS's, GFO, Ozone, etc.). I keep the sump turnover at 2.5 - 5 times the DT volume per hour.

JPorter, great pictures as always!

Elliot- your tank is amazing! Quick question, Has your S. Hadonni eaten any of your fish while it has been in your tank?

thanks Rippinfrags

the only fish, that I'm aware of, was a wrasse that was actually near death, laying on the sand bed gasping, then would occasionally swim sideways, landed in the anemone and was eaten, which in the end was a good thing, so I guess I've been very lucky in that regard

Beautiful tank Elliott, can we have a fish list when you get a chance?
