Your tank is amazing! Just one thing, there seems to be a lot of current in there, is that normal?

i love the hammer coral

 

[Phlex]

Thanks guys.. yes theres alot of flow in the tank, and i can definately tell the polyp extension on the corals has not been as full as in the past.. However it doesn't appear to be affecting them growth wise, and eventually they will adapt to the flow.

That look great. What did you put in the blue bucket in your sump as filter media? it looks to the untrained eye to be simple sponges.

 

[Phlex]

Yah, they are plastic sponges that i picked up from the dollar store. 4 for a dollar. Works pretty well for collecting larger particles..

 

[Phlex]

Ok, well today I recieved my order from reefcleaners.org (thanks john maloney) Really well packaged and everything seems to have survived the trip. Heres the small video!

Heres another video update. My daughter did the filming today, and forgot to clean the glass ahead of time. Cyano has taken over, so a rebuild is in the works.
