Let me introduce you to Manny and his gorgeous, 8 foot, custom, mixed reef tank.
Sporting a great range of fish, some beautiful corals and some unique approaches to reef keeping - it is one not to be missed by novice and experience reef keepers alike.

Ok, he is running 1 RTN pump on easy mode, I have a pair of COR20 running pretty hard, but they feed reactors and refugiums, so I have some loss. Yeah that’s why my flow is probably 2x easily. Hey how much is a replacement roll down under? I got cheapest SK5000 $29 some place in Florida

@@emmanuelkarras289 excellent. So I’ve removed a brown to stop the madness and reintroduce… it made no diff. They remember. They will pick up right where they were in the process when separated. My cure was to section off the tank (I can do that 8’ long) and let the new guy start to feel like some of the rocks are his. It give the fish a few hrs to identify a hiding place. Your tank is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations I am envious.
