Very nice fish! Tan looks great, post up some more pics

So are we supposed to wait and take the picture tomorrow? mines already grown since I got it in the tank, by tomorrow I'd guess another 1/2" easy

How do you use it, filter container or?

Looks good! can't wait to see it with water in it

backflow valves are fine I've used them for years, if they are clear wrap them with electrical tape prevent algae growth. I've used them mainly to prevent so much draw down when you shut the pumps off, your sump still should be able to hold all the water once the pumps are shut down. Even siphon holes can become clogged over time so there is no 100% guaranteed method to prevent overflow if your sump can't hold all the water. BRS sell valves with unions on both sides so they can be easily removed or cleaned, I have a complete set (5) on hand to swap them out sometime, I'm on my second year with the first set and no problems.

I was just making a list! I'm in

Looks good Jeramy!, yeah mine live in the tubinaria, never shown any interest in the nems. Looks like you need some coral in there, let me know

Looks good Rashaan, Can't wait to see it up and running, Great choice on the light have seen some awesome sps tanks with that lighting. I would feel better with a piece of plywood also, maybe not necessary but if the ends and front/back bow on acrylic I have to imagine the bottom will bow as much if not more.

Just checked mine and I'm up to five and one baby!

Nice map, Thanks

Picture taking SKILLS?? have you looked at some of those pics! How's this, shadows from the polyps, the discrete little serpent star, the sunset in the background........come on! This is in the Bag!

2/20/12 three polyps, will be in my 55g sump under 175w Radium Mh

I think you need to upload them to photobucket then copy from there

Looks good, really nice colors, looks like things have been growing!

Looks good Frank, really like the rock work!

That didn't take long!, cant wait to see it up and going

cant wait to see it! Always a great meeting

Nothing wrong with a Softie tank,looks good!

Nice little set up, are you going to make a wave with the 10

Always nice to see a "new" tank, doesn't get any better than that! cant wait to see it all set up, keep us posted!

My Green one spit like mad, I had it for years and had 5-6-7 at a time while giving them away almost monthly, had a really high nutrient tank though(dirty) which they love

That's going to be quite the tank!, really looks good. However, picture #4, sorry but that is one ugly clown fish!! (8:25 pm Post)

I'm sure you are good where you are to get it from Eugene, PM Impur he is handling it while it is down south, haven't seen a list for awhile so it may be available

You bet, let me know when you'll be down in this area Steve

Yep, the snails and sally lightfoot crabs like to go back and forth, lots of food back there, a fish does end up back there on occasion but not often. The drains are screened so nothing can get into them, there is no dead space, the screens go from top to bottom so there is full water flow, there is no detritus in the right and left sides at all, it does accumulate around the drains but can be siphoned out or just stirred up and it will go down the drain and into filter socks. As far as the size if I remember the original BeanAnimal designs were on smaller tanks, I did a 24" with a 3-4" overflow, as the design got bigger and flow increased in the larger tanks I increased the size/depth, the water level is about 3.5" above the siphon drain or it will suck air and about 1" below the weir line to reduce the water noise. Another good reason is just more water, the overflow holds 14 gallons, good place for macro Algae, etc. If I were to do another tank I would do the overflow exactly the same as this one, there are a few other things I would do different but I very happy with this design
