Thanks! I can't wait for some of the frags I just attached to grow into colonies. I just added a green turaki, strawberry shortcake, oregon tort, paletta pink tip, ORA blue polyp acro, and GARF bonsai from the frag tank. I've had them all for several months, but was waiting for them to color up in the frag tank before adding them to the display.

i had lost my garf bonsai months back all i have is a frag of it... it is a beautiful piece. good luck with all your new additions.

ora blue polyp acro??? the german blue??

Thanks everyone! I downloaded a program to let me take video with my SLR (not an option on the XSi), and decided to make a quick video. Be sure to watch it in HD and enjoy!

Thanks! For flow, I'm using two MP40s and two MP10s. I'm considering adding an MP60 to one end and running both MP40's on the other end in anti-sync, but I need to save up some cash first.

btldreef · Aug 30, 2012

I run 4 mp40s and was running an mp10 on the back glass. I know everyone has said how did I get the mp10 to hold.... It just does.
Anyways, after seeing your vid I have changed the settings to Reefcrest and antisync. Right away it started kicking up more debris.
Thanks for the info/ inspiration!

Glad to hear and thank you for the kind words! I forgot to mention... the German blue polyp is still just a frag, so it'll be a while before I'm ready to frag. However, you may want to contact some of the R2R sponsors to see if they have any frags available. I got my piece from Adam at Battle Corals and it was a good size frag for a very reasonable price!
