  1. I really appreciate the input. I totally didnt think about the height when it came to cleaning the top tank. The top tank is planned to be just rock flower nems and was going to make a minimal rockscape that slopes in the middle, but a top down view would be awesome of them. 

    What do you all think if I dropped the over all height by 12"?

    Thanks again everyone 

  2. So I have been thinking of starting a frag tank to tie into my current system (reefer 250). I first found a little glass IM 6 gallon tank with frag rack that fits perfectly. Was going to drill it and put it on a shelf next to the current tank. Shortly after getting home with it I found a 20"x20"x12.5" acrylic frag tank with over flow on here. Swooped on that as well. I was talking with my kiddos asking their opinions and they asked why can't we do both? So I thought yeah why not. My oldest decided he wants to make the small 6 gallon tank to be a rock flower nem only tank and then the 20 gallon frag tank for fragging and grow out. So here is a rough sketch and a couple of pics of vague positioning. Thinking of building g the stand out of steel and making magnetic panels to cover underneath. Also I am going to plumb it into the sump of the reefer 250.

    Great idea! I've been wanting to drill a few holes in my rocks just for this purpose but I never knew what kind of drill bit to use. I have a lot of these types, are these similar to the ones you used? What size?

    Spade bits like that are probably not the best idea. They will get caught on crevices and stop the drill in its tracks, it will hurt your wrist pretty bad. Masonry bits would be the best (silver ones below) but standard bit can work too(gold bit below).

  4. The Tank:

    Reefer 250 with Gen3 XR30 for lighting. Icecap Gyre for flow, Bubble-Magnus curve 5 protein skiller and current eflux DC return pump. Most of the rock is from Cuttlefish and Corals, it's the man made rock they carry. It and the other live rock from another tank cycled in a brute tube for 3 months before setting up the tank. Tank has been running for about 2 months. Fish are 2 clowns, a pink spotted watchman goby and tiger pistol shrimp pair and a cleaner shrimp. There are other various corals and plenty more to come 😁🤑!

    Acan is placed on a small Reefing Art frag rack on the left side of the tank. There are the 2 main polyps and a few little ones on the backside.

    Pic was taken with Samsung Galaxy S9+ with Reefing Art 20k filter lense.

    I will get a few more angles including the top down tommorrow the other pics turned our really fuzzy and I didnt notice until now and the lights are off 🤦‍♂️.

  5. I have 6 small rainbow bubble tip anemones. The far left one is NFS, but the other five are. Smallest one is hiding under the lower right corner one that has the most reds in it. The sizes are about 1" maybe slightly bigger.20200311_171507.jpg

  6. Have  some live rock that I ended not moving into my new tank. Pic is of all the rock in a 20 gallon brute tote.  Big piece on the right has couple of cool green mushrooms and a small green toadstool. Located in McMinnville, but can meet more in town. Take it all for $6020200227_175820.jpg
