I wanted to put a post on here to thank (Justin) Ctenophore for all the time and work you put in at my house today. I also wanted to thank Brian Ward for coming by to help as well. Here are some pictures of the revamping of my 180. You can't see the great work in these pictures but you can see the hard work that went in to it. I'll post some more pictures once the water settles.

good thing you decided to stay

Looks good, Glad to see you decided to stick with it. I still think you should pick up a lion fihs. Oh. and sorry I couldn't make it today.

What else can I get if I have a Lion Fish? I wanted to have Triggers, an Angel, an Eel, and a Grouper. Would that still be possible with a Lion Fish?

Rule of thumb - anything larger than the length of the lion fish (anything that won't fit in it's mouth)

glad to see you decided to stick with it scott, I actually had a heater blow up in my water change bucket while I was in the bahamas last week. Luckily I have a submersible one on my tank. It left a nasty battery smell in the bucket and I ended up throwing it away since I didn't want it to contaminate my water. No more glass heaters anyone!

I also am very glad you decided to stay in. I'll boost your thanks to Justin and Brian for helping you.

Here are a few more now that the water has cleared. I wish I could take good pictures. These pictures don't do anything justice.

Dude - The top rock on the left stack keeps sticking out of the water. Why don't you let me hold it in my tank for you for a couple of years until your tank gets stable!! :clap:

 

Seriously, the tank is looking great. Can't wait to see what you put in there. Keep the pics coming.

Wow, that cleared up fast. Looks great! I think a few small rocks stuck or putty'ed in the joints between the big ones will give it a more finished appearance.

 

What was the water temp once all the water was pumped back in? All the corals look happy so it couldn't have been too low.

 

Won't triggers bite the tips off a lionfish's fins? Angels will too, I've heard.

 

Anyway, glad to help out. I will try to catch the wrasse this week and will give you a call if/when that happens.

yea, lionfish don't really do well with the other fish you want to keep. the lion will get stressed and die. it looks good. sorry i couldnt help more, just had too much stuff going on that day. LMK if you need anything else.

The water temp was in the 60's when I pumped it back in so I stuck a heater and the lights on and it came up pretty fast. I waited until later in the evening to put the corals back in.
