My current marine reef aquarium aquascaping

   Ive been spending a lot of time thinking about my current aquascaping recently and the more I look at the tank the more I dislike it.  My green sinularia is filling in nicely and I can’t keep up with fragging it.  The date stamp on the picture is wrong, I took this pic back in march and I used it for my first blog but the tank still has the same aquascaping.

  The first thing I am going to do is increase my flow with two maxi-jet 1200s that I just ordered on Ebay from a trusted seller for a nice low price of $30 for two of them brand new in box.  I am going to remove the current powerheads which are an Aquaclear 20, a Powersweep and a modified Jebo pump that are currently on the back of the aquarium.  I am going to place the new powerheads on the left and right sides of the aquarium and I am going to aquascape so that all the rocks create on island in the middle of the tank.  The reef will look long and short. 

   I am doing this to increase the grow out room for the corals and anemone while providing more room for the fish to roam.  This will also benefit the tank buy making the flow more stream line so that detritus will be suspended longer as well as providing flow to all my corals, something that I’m lacking with my current setup.  Hopefully I will receive my new Powerheads in the mail before Tuesday, which is when I plan on making the change to the aquarium.  As of right now I’m creating extra Ro/Di water just in-case something bad happens.
