I like the dimensions of your tank,need to clean your front panel from coraline algae,its hard to see inside.Isn't an MP40 little to much for this tank?

Too much is right. Not so much the raw power, but more the tank's height. I keep the pair running at ~75% to keep the sand from flying everywhere.

There is no "front" panel, it's scaped to be viewable from all 4 sides. Or it would be if I actually could get in there with a scraper. I need to sell or mount the rest of the frags on my racks. Mobility in there is low low low. For now I actually turn off most of the flow and take off the mesh screen lid and just have lookdown sessions.

Just some pics of my minicolonies. I need to get some time to sit down and take pictures through my underwater viewing tube.
