New pics + manifold showing flow


Full Tank shot.. Better colors for I had the flash on.
Notice the PVC elbows shooting to the back.

Flow on left side of the tank

You can see the flow nozzles in the back

Middle of the tank

Happy fish

Acropora garden on right side of the tank.

Obviously there is too much blue in the photos, I ordered a new sony 12x50 zoom 6mp camera so my new pics should be Better.

I just wanted to show you guys what kind of flow 8 dollars in PVC can provide. Manifold fed by dolphin 3600, 2-400 gph coming out of each nozzle. + 3 mjmods running... One is shut off ( not working right.. I dont even know if I need it. )

You should see the little vortexes that are forming right over the coral... Pretty cool... Still stupendous growth.

Even though my blue slimer is complaining since I changed flow, oh well not everyone is happy all the time.

The corals seem pretty happy since the change...
