Read through this thread and loved it. Wish I had seen your presentation. Please keep sharing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m going to do some corraline scraping off of the glass next week, now that I’ve moved some fish around. I can give it to you if you are close. I’m in Annapolis. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the Zoa pack. I am very satisfied. All look healthy and happy. They were packaged extremely well. I did a coral dip as always and there was absolutely nothing extra tagging along! Great job Supreme Reefs! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you, Capital Aquarium

Thanks. I saw a previous post when you were looking for a sump and was curious what you ended up with. Looks like it fits well.

Love the tank and this thread is giving me some great ideas. Really like the white bottom. Where did you get your sump?

Super nice!

If you can use it, I've got a medium box of previously live rock/coral that you can have. It's been sitting outside for months, so its not "live" rock and would require a thorough cleaning and then need to be made "live" in your tank. I'm in Annapolis.

welcome to WAMAS!

Welcome! I'm also from Annapolis. You will find WAMAS to be a fabulous source of information.

No I didn't get around to it. Life sent me a huge curve ball and the tank was neglected. Good luck with splitting them!

Thanks for posting this! Was looking for something like this.

And as a side, please add the names when you post, so I know what to ask for

Awesome pictures! Ps-all the zoas I got from you are doing great!

I checked HD, Lowes, and Harbor Freight in Glen Burnie with no luck. The harbor freight set seemed pretty coarse and I didn't trust it. I ended up ordering a set from Amazon. Price was right and shipping was quick.

That is beautiful! Reminds me of a FW planted tank, but with so much color. How old is your tank?

I used to snorkel some beautiful areas in Andros, Bahamas 30 years ago. Went back 8 years ago and it was all gone, decimated, with a lion fish sighting every 10 feet or so. The round ups are a great idea and I understand they are quite tasty.

I also have a Tunze. 9002 that I can't dial in (feast or famine), however there are videos on a fairly simple mod. that apparently fixes that. Google "tunze 9002 mod" for video or online instructions if interested. I haven't gotten around to doing it yet, but looks like it would make adjusting easier.

I really like your rock work! It's a good looking scape. Your tank set up and situation is very similar to mine in tank age, equipment (HOB's, no sump), and livestock. I also bother Vince and Steve, but I think they like it I splurged on a Tunze ATO which made keeping my tank so much easier. Worth every penny.

To clarify, I'm putting on the tee's because that is what I've seen online. I assumed that they are the first fitting on the outside in order to provide an easy way to clean the drain pipes (???). The easiest, as well as the lowest profile, first exterior fitting would be an 90 (inverted L) attached to the bulkhead, but I don't see that being used in most examples I've seen online. I have bought a boatload of different fittings and have found that to make the first connection detachable in order to facilitate the possible replacement of a bulkhead gasket and not 8" long with all the adapters (dont want it that far from the wall), I will need to purchase another 1" slip - thread bulkhead vs. the slip-slip BH I have. Plan to make first connection threaded Bulkhead to thread-thread connector to threaded tee. Does this seem right? Apologize if this is confusing in the way I am describing it. Yes I plan to use 90 elbows inside the overflow box, 1 up, 1 down. The emergency drains height will be adjusted up with a piece of PVC pipe inserted into 90 if necessary.

Next question on the Herbie- drain bulkheads are going to be connected to "tees". Does the top tee cap get glued or is it supposed to be only dry fit? Kinda confused by the "full syphon" concept. The cap must be air tight, right, but on the Dursos, they drill holes.

Thanks Crob and Adam! The explanation makes sense. BTW, it wasn't the IC frags that I was referring to. Those frags were so sweet! Multiple polyps (10-12) on a cut piece of rock. Thanks again! The ones I was curious about are fragments that are the size of a singular zoa polyp (not high end), which as you described, would have resulted in a very high carnage rate if deliberately cut that way. I thought perhaps they were mounted in a two step process- polyp to fragment to frag plug which didn't make sense to me in time, cost, and effort. Thanks for the replies.
