    When I broke down my reef I said I wouldn't set up another tank u till I had room for a 400 gallon shark tank. I desperately want a Epaulette shark, in a thousand gallons you could have a pair! Sounds like you're on the right track with the frag tank and a shark tank; have you considered having the thousand gallon and a hundred gallon reef tank? Then you get the best of both worlds without worrying about the Sharks getting stung or eating all your inverts. Have you seen the shark tanks with live plants growing in them?

    1000 gallons is amazing!!!! #GoBigOrGoHome

     

    I'm super excited for you and more than a little jealous. That being said I feel compelled to make myself into something of a wet blanket, a damp blanket if you will... My concern is that a 1000 gallon tank is a huge undertaking!!! I know you have done your research, so I'm sure you know that (it could even be part of the reason your undertaking this challenge.) What I hope you will consider is that by starting so big you are in many ways locking yourself in. If you build a system perfect for large predatory fish it will most likely not be optimal for coral, I would go as far as to arguee that it would almost certainly not be. My advice is simply to entertain the idea of starting out with a smaller system (or two.)

     

    I hope you don't take my advice because I want to see pics of a 1000 gallon build!!! Welcome to the hobby, your going to love it!!!!

    I have some really nice tools I haven't been using since I left the industry. I have a 12" Brown and Sharp non ferris calipers. 0-6" Starrertt blade micrometer with 4" base.

     

    $150 for the calipers (my calipers have the black face, with red needle) :http://www.use-enco.com/1/1/27259-599-578-12-1-brown-sharpe-non-ferrous-alloy-dial-calipers.html

    That stings just a bit.....

     

    Too trusting in the past way too many times.

     

    But on the bright side. Thanks for the free bump Blake! (clap)

     

    Sorry, I guess it's too soon. :(

    It sounds as if there are others in need of this more than I' date=' besides I may have one being sent to me this Thursday[/quote']

     

    Make sure you put him directly onto the hair algae, use a stick if you have to. Even in a 55 gallon they will wander for days without discovering it!!! That was my experience at least. I would just move the guy from patch to patch and he devoured the stuff.

    Wow' date=' just got back from SWF. The line was half way down the block when I got there at quarter to 9. Didn't think it was possible but we got the last gift bag. It was shoulder to shoulder in there. Never seen a shop so packed. Should be a great night for them.[/quote']
