I usually put them on to hand size pieces of rock. I just take the frag i want dry off the bottom with a towel and dry of the spot im putting the frag on the rock. It also helps for the rock to be a little holey so the epoxy has something to grab onto. I get teh stuff at Home Depot for like 3...

Im guessing he has the maxi's on a alternating power strip. But nice tank i must say makes me kind of jealous.

I have seen them but you need a large pump to get enough current out of them. I just think they take up to much water flow i say just go with a sea swirl they are a little more expensive but you dotn lose as much head pressure.
