Some have had success with it, some, like me haven't. It is up to you.

Looking great man!!!
What kind of CL pump do you have?
On Jans 240, the CL is the exact same way. We found that it is best to have the loclines facing the glass. Otherwise there is just too much flow and you cant put corals anywhere near them.
Too bad you had to bail on the tank tour. It was the second stop on the trip.

It is a DART and I have been playing with the idea of facing the glass on a few of them..

Adam I have maybe 40lbs in the 40b and as you already know I have a cheapo BAK PAK skimmer. It is all how you maintain your tank bro. I would like to see some new literature written up regarding the advance in equipment and so forth and reevaluate the old school way of reef keeping. Innovation has came a long way in this hobby in the past 20yrs.

Cool gotta get that 10 lbs of lace rock out and get replacement stuff now...
To add to that we are seeing more and more of people removing rock from their systems to accommodate for coral growth. If you have ever seen danno's tank you'd know what I mean. He has huge colonies and very little rock. I certainly didn't have 1000lbs of rock in my shark tank and a messy shark is a huge bio-load. SalmonSlayer is constantly pulling rock out of his tank as his corals grow to new heights and widths.
The efficiency of the skimmers these days has changed the rules, as has the water purification systems and the salts that are now available..... IMHO!
lbs of rock per gallon may soon be like watts per gallon, if not already.

I attempted to eat it. It was a ten stacker. I threw it up within a half hr. But I got my name on the board as the only one to do it.

I ate a 20 by 20 stack when I was in Cali. Only to have my record broken in two days by some guy who ate 25X25. I did not eat for two days after I did my 20 stack. Maybe I should come over and take a chance at that one. What is the record?

looking great adam, why do you think you need more mag? your levels look good. I'm loving the sump setup, you could even put some decent lighting over the fuge sections and grow frags out in it! lol

Have you ever seen how many pounds of rock is in some of these "less-rock" systems?
Many who promote less rock typically have 100s of pounds in their system below the display. Salmonslayer, Danno, Fragman, etc each are running with 100s of pounds of rock. I agree that more open displays are possible, but have too often seen reef keepers pull out a bunch of rock and start a systemic crash. Seen this even with old salts who have been doing this for many years.
Adam, your tank and mods are totally awesome!

thank you, I'm now running at about 150 lbs of rock as soon as I can put the two top pieces in from my other tank... (they have LPS coral frags on them right now..)
I am still on the look out for ONE nice other centerpiece type rock for behind my double arch..
