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.

baffles are the dividers in sump/fuge.

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

Baffles also help in keeping bubbles from entering the pump bay when 3 are placed together like that.

I have the parts and I just woke up.... time to finish her off!

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

Okay, she's ready for water..... once we figure out where on the wall we want to place her... in the center... off to one side. Decisions Decisions.

K, I got my standpipe all built.

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!
