Thanks Carmie !
Wow...I got a little behind on watching updates. Now that I'm all caught up, Is there any fear of copper leaching into the water from the pipe? Or does it get removed through the filters? How is the coral growth? And whats on the wish list for future corals? To bad the nem went walkabout. It was quite an eye catcher up front and center. Keep up the good work and updates.
Hi Salty,
No problems with copper leaching into the make up water. When you think about it, its no different than
piercing a copper pipe for a traditional ro/di unit. Coral growth is okay. I'm having more success with softies and lps to be honest. As far as future corals ? Elegance, bubble, gorgonians, whips, and the like. I'd like some branching sps near the top of the atolls. Yeah, I was bummed the carpet moved, but it really opened the front of the tank (and makes the tank look larger). I'm thinking of getting a rainbow anemone and placing on a isolated rock on the right side of the tank (hopefully it stays put).

Jim, I like how the aquascape looks. And, as I was watching the video I thought to myself that there is so much color and movement that it looks like a kaleidoscope!

Cool! Did the red one come out on its own or did you have to coax it.
After it moved from the original spot in front of the tank, pinky then got partially stuck in a powerhead behind the rocks. I did move it to its current spot, but I think it likes the combination of light and flow. There's actually a undertow that brings it food when I feed the tank.
Hope the blue one comes out to show itself. And not in the back of the tank. How big will the blue one get?
I'm sure the blue carpet will come out a bit more as soon as it gets more acclimated. As far as how big it will get ? Pinky is a good 15", but the gal I bought her from had a purple and green carpet that was a good 3'. I think it depends on tank conditions and how much you feed.

What does one do with a 3' carpet?
