I'm about to order one of these because RedSea is dicking around with their REEFER system shipments. How did you deal with the plumbing issue on these since they use metric bulkheads and piping? Did you use some of their flex tube and an adapter at the bulkheads or were you somehow able to hardplumb the whole thing?

Yea I saw their stands and I'm not too keen on then with that big center brace they have

I was wondering where you got your stand? I'm looking at setting up the same tank but still have to order it. I made the mistake awhile ago fo trying to buidl my own stand and I ended up having a 40 breeder that wasnt sitting flat. Thanks for your help and beautiful tank!

I don't think I;ll be using sand at all, I just see it as a trap for detritus and the like :( - I need to find a way to get light reflecting off the bottom though. The frag rack on the bottom with the zoas is still in, but the one hanging off the side is out :D - I plan on going home and getting my 2 pieces of shelf rock and putting them in so the zoas can be mounted I want to make an acrylic frag rack as well... that way it is clear and the corals will be floating, not to mention easier to harvest SPS

Got some new corals, and cut the Birds Nest up into two colonies (wish I didn't now) I'm going to be taking the tile out I think.... It does reflect light but I'm not sure about the detritus in between them. New Corals - ORA Roscoe's Blue - ORA Borealis

I think I know where you got that tile idea from and that bellus lol

bunnyhead? lol

Pics of the tang having fun!!!

Renato - Thanks! I love the tiles too... they give me some light reflection but I do still get some detritus trapped in between them. However I have no problems keeping my lvls down I guess its because of MB7 & the skimmer...which is working great now even w/o the mod. I will stop by sometime so you can mod it though :p I'll bring you a frag of the neon green birdsnest as well. the tubbs is also already growing!! the tips are splitting and branching off even more! Dave - How is he doing? Has the little retard tried playing hide and seek with you yet? He also likes to get your attention by pecking at the glass when you're watching and will eat nori from your hand if you hold it steady. Update: I got 3 Green Chromis and a Cleaner Shrimp today... the cleaner shrimp is in the back corner :( I'm still looking for.... 1 Lyretail Anthias or Sunburst Anthias 1 McCoskers Flasher Wrasse 1 Tricolor Fairy Wrasse or Solar Fairy Wrasse 1 Midas Blenny too much??? I plan on adding more rock for hiding places :p I don't want to lose my double arch though :(

HOTT HOTT!!!! I saw a 70 cube today at AquaOne... it had a bunch of clams in it :D

I need money for a better camera too lol

any sunburst anthias?

Oh I apologize for that, sorry. I appreciate the time you spent though into making the connection. Thank you very much!

Never got the pm yesterday. If you guys want the yellow eye kole tang for a school the following is going to have to happen. I would like it to go into atleast a 75g (a 55 doesn't have a big enough footprint for this little guy, he was cramped in a 50 breeder) I also cannot deliver, pickup needs to be made (I live off rt. 1 in college park, md) Thats all I require, I just would like to see him go to a good home

Is that also why my membership application hasn't been processed? Just wondering because I sent out an email sometime last week and I never got a response. Thanks

cool!! I want those zoas BTW whats your fish/invert stocking list right now? I see the anthias, does she get fed enough/have enough room to swim?

No prob. I could have sold tank, stand, sump, and the base light :p Would have helped with enclosing it as well. Just ask next time I try to break the american norm and be helpful lol

What footprint of a tank?

Ok well If I need to get rid of it either you or sam are getting it. I beleive Doug was initially going to buy my setup but I never heard back from him

If I can sell my 50 breeder I would like to donate a 2.5" Yellow Eye Kole Tang to a school that has a large enough tank if possible.

I hope to get a solana soon someday! I'm actually trying to sell my 50br and downsize to it! How are the tek lights doing for you. Do you get enough of a spectrum and ability to adjust it? I was looking at the ati and tek fixtures but couldn't decide.

if you have 2 clownfish that shimmy is a sign of submission, your male or smaller one is submitting to the bigger or female clown. If you are feeding daily knock it back to every other day. Amonia is caused by the breakdown of the fish food/poop and dieoff

don't dose what you don't test for could be a zoa eating nudi, could be zoapox/fungus
