wailingspike May 27, 2008 May 27, 2008 I have a question which might end up being a dumb one, but coming from someone who has lost multiple longnose hawkfish from jumping out onto the carpet even while covering the top. How do you keep your fish from jumping out? Are you just careful to select none jump prone fish or do you know some magical trick that I don't?
Vader June 9, 2008 June 9, 2008 (edited) Got my fan today. It pushes a good amount of air, but I think I should of went with the 4 fan version for a 4ft tank. Where did you get that fan assembly from? Looks good. Found it, never mind. Edited June 9, 2008 by Vader
Gadgets June 10, 2008 Author June 10, 2008 Not much to update. I added two fish because many of my corals have started to lighten because of lack of nutrients. I added a Sohal and a Yellow tang. Here is an updated shot.
ctenophore June 10, 2008 June 10, 2008 Looks great, Chris! Do you put any coral food in there? Do you have any sort of refugium to generate live food? Are you going to keep the back scraped clean? It looks so nice like that. I call dibs on that sohal in 6 months. You'll see why I miss mine from FL. He was in my old display and now patrols one of the greenhouse tanks. 16ft of room to swim and is still a jerk to the other fish in that system. He will push himself half out of the water to get some food, and has even learned how to jump the overflow to eat the algae off the pump intake strainer, then jump back. I want another one for up here.

Man I love this sohal! We just got him in at BRK last week and I saw him for the first time on Saturday. By the middle of the day I had him eating nori out of my hand. I knew he was a winner after that. As he gets bigger so will my tank. Already thinking of the next tank. 72"x36"x20" But that won't be for awhile. Edited June 10, 2008 by 143gadgets

scott711 June 10, 2008 June 10, 2008 Where is the Home depot gift card that is blocking the corner overflow from fish jumping out?

schulzjp July 3, 2008 July 3, 2008 Tank looks amazing! Great colors! Do you have any pics of the sump?
Leishman July 3, 2008 July 3, 2008 Tank looks amazing! Great colors! It's all photoshop. His corals are all bleached and washed out.
YBeNormal July 3, 2008 July 3, 2008 Not true. He has a large reef poster taped inside the front glass of tank. There isn't any water in the tank at all.
Gadgets July 4, 2008 Author July 4, 2008 Thanks Jason!!! You all are crazy. LOL All of the rock has become covered in coraline algae. Here is an updated pic.
dmward99 July 10, 2008 July 10, 2008 Hey Chris tank looks AWESOME!!! I was wondering if you had any full tank shots with the canopy,tank, and stand?
Gadgets July 25, 2008 Author July 25, 2008 New shots from tonight. I REALLY need to bring home my macro lens. You like? Hulk Milli Green Base Orange Polyp Monti New Piece Showing Some Potential Gotta Love This One!!! :D
amay121 July 25, 2008 July 25, 2008 I would actually like to see the full tank shot with the sand as substrate now.

amay121 July 25, 2008 July 25, 2008 Rik, Ain't right that you'd post up FTS shots of Chris' tank on RC, but not on here. Looks great Chris.
