    Thinking about going with that Hygger powerhead in my 25 lagoon,  what do you think of it?

    Do it, the footprint is small but the flow and spread is amazing.  I’m a big fan of that pump, it’s the best bang for your buck you can get in my opinion.

  2. 1. Learn how to ship corals(so I can flip your holy grail torch on R2R for double shh don’t tell anyone).

    2. More baby talk to my corals, it makes them grow faster, it’s proven science.

    3.  Name my own coral, price it way to high, and buy a new car with it.  (I have some made up names and extra high price corals if interested).

    4. go to a frag trade if 2021 allows one

    5.  Stare at my wife more than my tank(she sponsors this message).

    6.  Buy less grow more

    If we're talking nitrifying bacteria, I feel that the sand, along with some rubble in the sump will be plenty. 

     

    With that said, I've seen some traffic on here about microbiome, but I'm not up to speed and don't understand what the impact of this rock vs something like reef saver would have.   I suppose only time will tell. 

     

    When I was cycling these in a brute can, I did get some bacterial film on the rock like I have in the past.@Aerixxare you seeing a similar effect on the stuff you have going? 

    If I’m being honest I’m doing a poor job of growing a lot of bacteria, I’m a year out so I’ve slacked on it.  I’m ramping it up now.  I preparing to go bare bottom so I’ll have to ramp it up.  I’ll let you know.

    I meant more in the bacterial carrying capacity. Is it good at the biological media part which in turns has a lot to do with coral health

     

    I have some like that stewing for my next build, it seems less pourus than regular rock, I’ve wondered the same.  My plan was to put a bio brick in the sump to combat it.  It is a great looking rockscape, looking foreword to the update

    I fragged the torch today finally. You’re getting an extra head cause it was easier to cut than the three head I was initially thinking of fragging. I hope you’re ok with that :)

    Holy crap that’s going to be amazing, I really had my heart set on 3, but I guess 4 will do, if you made it 5 heads I may have passed....Really can’t wait to get that in my tank, hopefully it doesn’t lose its color acclimating
