  1. Clowns will feed the anemone scraps, but you should target feed the anemone twice a week with it's preferred food.
  2. The strange things one finds late at night shopping on the interwebs... I bet my Grandfather would just love this!
  3. I wouldn't be upset if my flame angel just vanished one day.
  4. The sump was an option offered with the kit from Cadlights. I bought the tank, stand, skimmer and sump as a package. The sump is 30" x 14". It doesn't leave much room in the stand for equipment. I put a union valve right on top of the gate valve so if it gets gunk in it, i can reach my finger in there and clean it out in a snap. The fuge light is a clip on thing. Its never on because I need to get some macro in there. That may be a while because I don't drive. The vent fan I custom installed. It's a Noctua 120mm cooling fan for computers, but with a fancy cabinet mounting kit. Got that from Coolerguys.com. They sell awesome custom cooling stuffs. This is what I came up with to divert flow from my return pump to my media reactors. The aqualifter on the left feeds rodi water to the kalk stirrer on the far left. The aqualifter on the right feeds straight rodi into the return section. The skimmer is awesome. I have an almost sterile tank and it pulled out that much gunk in 2 days. And finally this is my empty fuge with my Ph probe and 2 temp probes. My float switch is on the far right corner of the return section.
  5. Sure. I'll stick my camera in there when I get home from work tonight.
  6. I hate that fish lol! I bought this guy a year ago in my old tank and he brought Ich in that killed all my other fish except for my clowns and himself! He gets bit by my clowns all the time when he chases them out of their "corner" apartment! And he sure does nip at my corals, but only new ones when he's trying to figure out what they are. I also see him eat his own pooh all the time... lol it makes me laugh... and cringe! (nutty)
  7. Thanks guys! and yeah i don't know why i pushed the light up so fast. I'll stretch it out over a few more weeks.
  8. This is a Tyree pink Lemonade. He gets the whole rock to himself! Sanjay's leprechaun beard.
  9. This is how my tank looks today. I have been acclimating the coral I received from Fantastic Frags for the past week. Ramping up the lights about 10% a day. All the acros have been completely dormant with No PE. I'm waiting to see how long they will take to start growing/coloring up since the lights are now back to their high settings. (sorry in advance for the bad photography. I blame my point and shoot! (scratch) ) The bleached coral on the right is an Aussie 3 color that didn't make it through shipping (sad) This guy I got from SWF This crab looks as if he's guilty of something.
  10. I'll take some current tank shots tomorrow. I got a big order from Fantastic frags last week that I want to photograph.
  11. Here is my "command center" lol the jugs are for my dual ato setup
  12. Thank you! The mount was like 15 bucks from Panavise and works really well. The RKE buttons are hard to push, so I thought the mount might wobble and flex alot, but its pretty rigid and hasnt torn off my cabinet yet lol! The locline hose I made was from side outlet nozzles I got as pieces from marine depot. About 30 bucks or so worth of parts, but I ended up getting extra stuff I didn't end up using so it could have been cheaper. My only gripe is that its reeeeealllly hard to adjust the nozzles without messing some up on the other side while tweaking it... So after 2 hours of messing with it, I got it to look straight and flush to the water line, but now every 20 min or so I get a big vortex from one outlet and lots of bubbles! My fish love chasing them so I have left it that way for their enjoyment lol!
  13. actually I am planning to get rid of one of my Hydnophoras and some frogspawns and a few other things. This tank is too high flow for some of my corals and I've been collecting alot of acro frags. I just need to take some pics to show everyone.
  14. Thanks for all the kind words everyone! Im glad I found this forum!
  15. I want to post more, but it's getting late so I will take a break till tomorrow.
  16. I ended up picking up a magnetc fake rock to attach to the back wall. I have since removed the Hydnophoras, but at the time that was the best place for them while relocating my other coral.
  17. Here are some shots of right after i transfered from my old tank.
  18. The skimmer is the TIA 1150 from cad. Its rated for 160g, but took almost a month to break in then it started foaming at the mouth like Cujo!
  19. I suspended the light using arms made by Current usa. They were the only ones I could find that were long enough from front to back to be able to center the fixture dead center over the 36x24x20 tank.
  20. This is the light I have been using and so far it's Awesome!!! Maxspect Razor
