Well i ended up just putting the bucket on the floor, even when the aqualifter was above my top off container it would still keep siphoning. The outlet tube is above the water line as well

It looks like some colonial tunicates I've seen, but I'm not positive...

How fast did it appear? Does it change at all (expand, open siphon holes, alter colors) throughout the day?

Never really got a good ID, people just agreed it was a sponge. Doesn't really change at all, stays the same colors, and stays put in its spot.

oo flyguy it looks great though stay focused on school.

sslak · 02/07/2008, 03:53 PM

I'm just working on reading through, but it looks great!

Keep up the good work!

I think the Acropora T- is a Tenuis. I like your 90 gallon. I just read the entire post. I have a 46 bow and I want to upgrade now too. Our reef keeping taste seems to be similar. I have the same equipment and coral minus the leathers. I will take some pics of my 46 and post. BTW I have 1 Koralia 4 and a Koralia 3 in it for added flow. I wish your tank didnt have all the soft corals so you could add some crazy flow.

bryman · 05/06/2008, 10:39 PM

Wow, your setup looks great! I'll be keeping it in mind when I build my 90g. Thanks for all the pics!

cardiffgiant · 05/12/2008, 06:25 PM

I picked up your thread from the thread with the pans for the frame of the stand. Really nice work on the whole system! I'm going to use a similar design for my 75.

hey whats up guys, sorry i haven't been around a while, been kinda neglecting the tank a bit other than the feedings and water top off. But now that my classes finally done, i can finally put some work back into it. I'll update this thread some more later on. Thanks for looking

tcgreaux · 08/03/2008, 09:46 PM

any update pics?

flyguy7150 · 08/06/2008, 05:14 PM

nope nothing new, been working on other things. Did lose a chromis though. He just dissapeared

. Also lost 2 of my sps corals.

flyguy7150 · 08/25/2008, 01:41 PM

Well I lost my blue tang...not sure what happened to him. He had a bunch of scratches on the body like he was beat up and now he's gone. Can't find the body anywhere.
Old pic..

Grew to about 3-4inches from about 1.5in. Was my favorite fish

pRadaaaaa · 08/25/2008, 07:40 PM

This thread has been excellent from day 1. Keep up the good work. I love your aquascape. Imo though, I think you should find another place for that new piece of rock in the middle. The 2 island was nice but that piece just throws it off. Anyway, Sorry to hear about your blue tang. I lost mine a couple of weeks ago. It was my favorite as well.

maxheadroom · 09/04/2008, 09:15 AM

Nice job! I have a question, though. I have the same tank, still working on the stand and sump, but when you turn the sump off, how much water are you losing into the sump from the overflows?

Rosseau · 09/15/2008, 01:29 PM

I love the tank.... great work here for sure.

I'm sorry for your tang....

Also, good idea to put a FTS on each page! I read the first few pages and went to the last to see what it looks like now.

really not too much water, maybe 1-3gallons, probably closer to 1gal. Sorry for the late reply, thanx for the replies guys

. Want to get a new tang, not sure what to get, leaning toward the powder blue.

rkw01 · 01/25/2009, 09:00 PM

Hello! Just finished reading your entire thread. Great tank!

I was wondering if you could share your maintenance routine. Such as how often/quantity of water changes, etc.

Also, where did you buy your tank? Does it use starphire glass on the front? It seems really clear.

What did you replace your tang with?

Jhnamie · 07/30/2009, 05:39 PM

Just found this thread in stand build thread. I like how you did your undercabinet set up. im curious is that a canister filter next to the fuge? Sorry bout my ignorence im kinda new at this. I was told canisters are bad in reef systems, they build up nitrates. If is is a canister what is it use, isnt the fuge good enuff? If its something else whats its purpose? Sorry im a pain in the a** Thanx in advance

i started reading this from a stand thread also. I just bought a 29gal. I am hooked, and already looking to bigger after only 2 months. My wife thinks i need to wait.

I enjoyed the thread nice to the start of a new tank.
