ya know what, it is, and i never would have even thought twice about it till you pointed it out. totally slipped my mind, i will be removing that today lol. thank you

so all is going well, no leaks anywhere. i put about 90 pounds of LR and some sand in the tank to start the cycle. my SG is a little high right now at 1.027 but ill take care of that tonight with a water change. i also installed a 9 outlet switchboard and my redsea wavemaster pro to the side of the stand. im a little disappointed with the cut i made, but i was using a dremel tool for it, and its only on the non viewable side so itll be fine.

my 50# order from marcorocks came in. the last picture is with it just thrown in there for now. ill take a better pic when the water clears up and i start aquascaping.

So in the past few weeks ive set up my aquascape and aquired a few coral frags:

platygyra brain from midwest saltwater

free acan frag he sent me with the brain.

a few SPS frags

my LPS area

Scape looks great. That orange shoulder tang looks cool. Did your sailfin die?

thanks. yea he got way too stressed in my 10g QT and couldnt pull through.

That sucks, sailfins are cool tangs. You should get some green chromis for your tank. I have 6 in my 300. I think I need 3 more, they look pretty cool swimming together.

thetonyage · 05/31/2010, 03:41 PM

im thinking a few anthias or something, im not really into the chromis

reeftanknewbie · 06/01/2010, 05:44 PM

tank looks great. what kind of lighting are you running on there? Have you thought of yellow tailed chromis?

reeftanknewbie · 06/01/2010, 05:45 PM

never mind on the lighting, guess I just need to read your signature. See a drum set in the one pic. You play? I use to but haven't in awhile.
