Nixperience Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm really tempted to grow some gsp on the lower right rock ledge I front of the mp10. Nothing else will grow there. Somebody talk me out of it. Quote Link to comment

I just can't think of anything else that will grow there. The flow is strong. Also, I was wrong. The Duncan was 4 heads, not 5, but it has awesome color. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nixperience Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Maybe blue sympodium? Could that withstand the flow? Quote Link to comment

If it was just going on the sand, it wouldn't be a problem. But on that massive rock could become a problem. What else can grow there besides sps? I don't want any sps on that side.

I have the whip about 6" away and it's getting bent pretty good and mp10 is only at 60%. I can't go lower or the middle of the tank will be a dead zone. Quote Link to comment

Weetabix7 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I know what you should do. Put Halymenia Macro there. It LOVES flow and would look gorgeous flowing in the current. 1 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 That Montipora is nice! Things are are looking really good. 1 Quote Link to comment

I couldn't pass that up. Mmm, maybe, but probably not. Dragon's Breath is one of those names that gets attached to more than one kind of Macro. A dead giveaway for Halymenia is that it feels slippery. If it doesn't feel slippery, it isn't Halymenia. Has to be attached with fishing line cause it's hard to get superglue to stick to it. 2 Quote Link to comment

Huh. I'm trying to envision flow too strong for Halymenia. What kinda whirlpool you got going on in there??? No wonder the whip is bent!! Y'know, honestly, I probably wouldn't put anything in flow that is too strong for Halymenia. 1 Quote Link to comment

Ya it's just really close to the powerhead, but it's a lot of rock there to have nothing growing on it. I know something like setosa or undata would work there, but want to keep things soft on that side. Quote Link to comment
Nixperience Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 I'll just stick the green toadstool there and see what happens. Quote Link to comment
Nixperience Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 I did it. I put the toadstool there and moved the powerhead back about 1/2" so half the flow is hitting the rock tower directly and the toadstool is only getting indirect flow. If the toadstool can't thrive there, nothing will. Quote Link to comment
