    Aquascaping question

    I see all these great designs and I may want to redo mine. My question is , I have some epoxy that I got from my LFS for gluing in frags. Is it a good idea to put a little on the rocks to keep them in place or is it really not necessary. Right now everything is just stacked.

    mp10 question

    I have a 75 gallon reef and I cant afford an MP40 right now. I only keep lps and softies presently. Nothing "high" flow. Could I get away with one MP10 until I can afford two. Ecotech says probably but I was hoping for practical experience?
