Renee - I wish I had known you two and half years ago and you had lived closer....I could have donated my mantis to you! Because he scared the be-jeebies out of me!
A little off topic, but can someone remind me what the baffles are for?
Also, David, i was looking at the pic of your sump/fuge and i was wondering which way the water flows. Does the water start on the left (with the macroalgae) and move to the skimmer last? I thought you typically wanted to skim the water first.

the flow in Dave's tank goes from the outsides in wards to a center compartment, to make sense of this check out his sumpzilla thread, i think he has a diagram in there on how the flow works

Oh okay i see. So the split is to divide the denutrification work between the algae and the skimmer? That makes sense now.

We have to.... there's a mantis on my mantle where the stockings and the poinsetta are suppose to go. Hopefully it won't take too long to cycle. He is going to be so bloody mad!
