Thanks for the kind words guys!

- Water is pumped from the sump to the main tank.
- It then overflows into the overflow box, which has a total of 3 bulk heads.
- One is a back up, one leads to the sump, one to the refugium.
- Most of the water is flows into refugium which in turn flows back into the sump.
- A smaller amount of water flows through the stand pipe directly back into the sump.
Hope that helps!
if you havent seen the FTS, scroll back through... this display in the most incredible zoa garden you will see
(edit) oh wait, i think we have a jacker lol...
Haha wrong thread maybe?
I sold the Cheato channel when I switched to the new tank. Scroll back a few pages and take a look a the Youtube video, it shows my much larger cheato river with the mangroves. Thanks for the post!
All and all I can say the swap has been pretty good on everyone, certain strains are out growing others but in general everyone is happy. That being said I certainly have had my losses (A couple larger and older colonies to boot :hmm5
. Not quite sure how to do that? Thanks for the compliment.
Uhmmm, heres a few shots:

Just insane... I patterened my humble little 50g after you tank. I was hoping for a good SPS zoo mix but it seems as though SPS doesn't want to do well in my tank yet. I think it's just still too new, I started it in January. My zoas on the other hand, are doing amazing so I'm taking that as a small victory for now. Thanks for the inspiration!

Beautiful tank!
I applaud your keeping up with all the questions (some asked 4 and 5 times) and comments. Lots of patience and hard work for you and very informational for us!
After reading the entire thread, I have not seen anyone ask about placement of your zoas. When placing your frags/colonies, do you have any "rules of thumb" you follow regarding vertical or horizontal location in relation to your lighting, such as lighter colors go under more light or vice versa? For instance, Purple Deaths seem to be a polyp that can lose its coloration very easily if it isn't in the optimal lighting, so did you have a spot you thought would be good for them in particular, or do things just seem to work out due to your excellent care and husbandry?
