monkiboy September 18, 2013 Share September 18, 2013 I'm very limited as the tanks overflow is in the center back of the tank and only 2 holes are drilled.... So I am using the previous owners version of the durso.... you could do a herbie and run the return over the top to a sea swirl or drill a hole for a return. if it's worth it to you for the increased flow and silence. was just curious. i find that plumbing really starts to allow one to glean what kind of tank owner you got, haha.

smallreef September 18, 2013 Author Share September 18, 2013 The inside of the overflow has no space for another hole...and the top of the overflow box is actually aattend ed to the euro brace...so not much to do there...I'm just going to have to mess with it, there is an airline in the cap of the second pipe so that should help keep it fairly quiet...we will see....

smallreef September 20, 2013 Author Share September 20, 2013 Someone asked if I had a fish list...ummmm So I have a few fish already in the tank.... Pair of percula clowns, 1 mean tomato clown, Pair of Lamarcks angels, Midas Blenny, Chalk bass, Cardinalfish, Jawfish, Shrimp goby, Bristletooth tang.... And a Weird little goby Plus my 4 crazy peppermint shrimp, 3 big emerald crabs, a bunch of hermits and other misc snails..of course,lol So what I want to add is a yellow belly tang, desarjini tang or sohal tang (depends on how small of one I can find), A foxface.... Possibly a trio of female anthias with one male or flasher/fairy wrasse pair? A trio of firefish? Or zebra barred dartfish... Possibly add to my lonesome cardinal fish to have a trio... And a mystery wrasse... I think that's it,lol other than I'd LOVE to have a crosshatch trigger but can't make myself spend that kind of money when I now il be moving in 4 years back across the country,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshifer September 20, 2013 Share September 20, 2013 (edited) you gonna be selling the 50 later when you transfer everything? or keeping it for frags and etc. ? foxface is a poop factory, i watched one for about 5 minutes the thing mustve went about 5 times once per minute. and it aint small either Edited September 20, 2013 by Joshifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallreef September 20, 2013 Author Share September 20, 2013 (edited) Lol... No I think my husband may have traded the 50g for a reloader and a whole bunch of rounds...we'll have to see if that trade comes to fruition.... I had a foxface in my last 150g...though that was a fowlr...I always liked him...especially since I can't have any of my triggers,lol See him in the middle...he was cool...till he got swallowed by my gulf toadfish, whom choked to death or died from the poisonous spines..and the foxface died also...ugh...that was a bad day...had him for almost 4 years...started in a 35g up to the 150...him with all the triggers...
