put maxi-jet in


oops
well first I put it in without deflector and it slipped toward the sandbed... that made a bit of mess
then I tried another direction but still low in the tank, deflector wasn't on fully and flew off.... more mess

anyways
deflector on and it's putting out some serious flow as to what my tank had before... I'd still like more though!
can't wait to upgrade and have a CLS!

what was cool though was all the little tube worms shot out their filaments to catch all the crap floating by

anyways it's clearing up...

Leave everything flowing all the time. The ocean currents do not shut down with the sunset.

I personally have 5 Maxi 1200's and the return line from my sump in a 75 and is never shut down. And I still don't think it's enough flow!

I'm looking for a bigger tank myself, but I'm also going with a couple of these instead of the Maxi's:
