Mp10 on the way! Time to remove the huge koralias! I'll post pictures later of the tank! Hoping to go pick up a turbotwist UV that I'll put inline with my canister so I can get the In-tank one out!

I think one in every 100 nips at corals. I've seen way too many people with a Flame in their full blown reef for them to be consistant nippers.


On a somewhat related note, my Regal Angel has started eating zoas Sad

All the zoas are now in my macro tank.. oh well
