This thread is great very helpful ! I agree with keeping your hands out of the tank wish I could do it lol when I got home after a week away my corals also looked great ! I wish I had 2 mp 40s right now have 4 crappy power heads in my 75 I'm hopping to get 2 used mp 40s for Christmas I think that will make a big difference! As of right now I haven't seen one thing in my tank make a huge difference I would say vodka dosing and special blend have made the most impact!

2 MP40 for a 75 G is tooooooooooooo much... One MP40 should be fine.

I am not sure. But I have one mp40w in my 75G and I have it on 50% flow.

I would suggest those of you who are into vodka dosing at least look into vitamin c dosing a bit. Both are carbon sources but the vitamin c seems to have more positive effects and more leeway for error. I started researching vodka dosing and decided against it some time ago but then decided to try vit. c after a friend got some and was amazed with the results.
Just my .02 cents.

kalkwasser, agreed, the best thing you can do for your tank is keep your hands out of it, dont care how well you wash them scrub the ect, just leave it alone and letting it grow. which is hard to say right after a swap meet,

Of ALL the changes I've recemtly made to my 220, closed loop, denitrator, carbon & gfc reactor, more light, etc., the SINGLE most thing that, for me, made me happiest, was removing the sandbed and going bare bottom. I love it.

LED on the BioCube- everything pops and grows- just can't take pics to much Blue!

Barebottom is great, if you can find the beauty in it. Many people don't like the way it looks. I think a nice piece of white starboard or even just the glass looks good though.

My 33 gallon Oceanic cube was barebottom for a while, and it was the easiest time I've had keeping SPS corals, that's for sure.
