Last night was fun, no really...ok, well maybe not fun but rewarding...actually it was just a royal pain but now it is done.

I just haven't been satisfied with the flow around my acros so I messed with it last night. I started out thinking I just needed to move the tunze nanostream pump to the left side of the tank. The area is so small it is really hard to get any flow without blasting stuff. I did accommplish that (I think) and I hope all my corals forgive me. I moved the MJ 1200 to the middle of the tank and aimed it to the left. The koralia is in the far left corner angled to the right over the top of the acros. The return box is between the two pumps. I'm still not sure I like how I have the middle return nozzle aimed. So, in the process I had to rearrange my zoo patch to fit the MJ1200 in this area. And then, move the clam, and the fox coral, and the hammers, and the frogspawn, then the acans, no move them back. wow they are growing up nicely... Several hours later, I ran out of room for everything. I now have my red mushroom rock in my refugium...how did that happen...and another rock with a few lavendar fuzzies, green fuzzies, and orange zos on it too. My red mushrooms have been bleaching for some reason, lavendar fuzzies are trying to melt, so hopefully the rduced lighting will be good for them. They both are very nice rocks. Oh yeah, my really nice orange sun polyps are under the ledge on the left side now and only viewable from the side of the tank. Oh well, I just felt they needed some shade and that was the best place for them right now.

I have a feeling that this won't be the end of the changes, but that was a lot of work.
