I like the contrast between the bottom and the rock. Is your starboard attached to the tank with silicone? How much space do you have between the glass and the edges of the starboard? If you have space, do you trap detritus on the edges? 
 

Yes, I worry about the pressure points. That is the main reason for starboard for me. I was thinking of filing it on pavement. I did it to a couple sizable pieces and it kind of works but if I use cured live rock that is attached to each other through epoxy and whatnot, that will fall apart. Band saw is a good idea.   I was also thinking marine epoxy and a small piece of acrylic for the areas that are touching to the bottom. 

I like bare bottom but I don't know about the insert on the bottom if its not completely flush,alot of crap can get under it and who knows how hard it would be to clean later down the road with rocks,corals on top of it. There is black Hawaiian sand also. You can also try a belt sander or even take it outside and scrape it on the concrete til you get it to how you want it. I had a couple nanos that I started bare bottom without a insert,about 2 months later I added sand to about a half to full inch.you can also try filling the rock with coral epoxy and setting it in place to form your own flat bottom. Idk. It only lasted a couple months, benefits to not adding a insert is you can just add the sand later.

Hey so yeah, BRS is buying marine depot and marine depot is having a really big sale with 40% off of almost everything (except the stuff you would be really excited to get for 40$ off).

Still though, some good deals to be had on stuff. 

Thx alot,I just spent some money again lol 😆

@ShoeCrew I have the custom acrylic and the CWT sumps left.

I'm in Oregon City

Still have tha $20 acrylic sump? Pm inbound

Hey everyone, I've been eyeing this petco 150 gallon tank,its a topfin 150 gallon 48L 24W 24D,but im having trouble finding out if it tempered or not with online info.i asked topfin and they haven't got back to me.ive heard of the polarized trick but unsure because I've never done it so I'm reaching out to you. Does anyone have this tank and have plumbed it? I want to drill the back glass not the base glass because I think it takes up less space then running a intank overflow box,and I want to keep the space relatively simple and not having to worry about my aquascape hitting the inside overflow box. Thanks in advance. 

Aquascape changes because LPS tentacles extensions. 

Hi everyone, tanks roughly 4 months old now.

40 breeder

20 long diy sump

Jeboa 4k pump

2 460ghp powerheads

Split line lock return

3/4 drains and 1/2 return 

I'm upgrading to 1in drains pretty soon

Milwaukee ph monitor 

Diy mesh lid

Viparspectra 300w, 150w black box, 4lamp t5 HO. Currently using black box because LPS dominant. 

2 old heaters 

Diy stand

Been running for about 4/5 months and been doing pretty good but found my t5s not enough power (24in over a 36in) then got the Viparspectra 300w which was great but found that it is too much power and no low par areas in my tank unless under a rock. Got a few freebies from Hayes and the blk box and Milwaukee was one of many.i did spend $200 on cleaning out his hammers and other shut down corals.so I'm running that for now.i have it plugged into 2 different smart plugs for timing schedule. Blues all day and white lights as a spike from 1pm to 3pm. I also have a uv light I took off my green machine and just mounted it in sump its working great.i need a skimmer next.or ill be upgrading bigger either a 75 or 125. Still checking my options and seeing alot of used stuff just havent pulled trigger yet.i got into the hobby because I used to spend every other day on the ocean when I lived in Socal,but been living here in Vancouver for the past 4yrs so I brought the ocean to me instead .I have my breeder and 2 nanos.

Breeder stock...

2 reg clowns,scopas tang,6line,cleaner shrimp,2 peppermints. Random snails lost count.i try to buy snails everytime I buy fish or corals to make up for a CUC for what I've gotten currently making phytoplankton also to cover some of the costs and feed my stock. I love SPS but I need to upgrade equipment like a doser,skimmer,socks to help with stability. Manually keeping it stable is pretty hard by hand without spikes.also need to setup a auto top off. Well thats about everything. My nanos are kinda species specific, 1 is my nem tank and overflow corals, 2 clowns,3 nems rainbow blk widow morph,rainbow purple tip,and a rainbow pink tip.all bubble up.and the other nano has 2 blue damsels,and a bunch of random zoas.thx for your time ,here's some pictures...

Lol this post is so confusing, why not delete everything thats gone instead of still listing everything pending and sold. I got money to blow but don't know whats going on in this post lol.

So my Nemo out of nowhere started to get a white piece of what looks like bacteria or something on his eye? Should I be worried? How should I act? Put pictures of other side to show differences 

Are you sure its not the angle of the lighting?

Wow nice job of treating them. Wish you nothing but the best.

Also I think it is developing blue along the sides of the original plate. 😆 im getting old and im pretty out of it atm. Blew out my back about 30mins ago moving my mini fridge,stubbed my big toe about 3 days ago and its killing me,might be broken or gout flair. And my ptsd meds have been messing with my head,been feeling daised and confused for past 3 days like im in a dream.idk im just gonna try and sleep

Looks like an Oregon Mummy Eye chalice. 

Oh your probably right! It kinda rings a bell lol I just forgot because I bought about 8 other things and they were all new to me that I never had before lol I appreciate that!!

Need help with ID on my chalice/favia? I bought it along with a bunch of other corals about 2 months ago and this one i just could not remember the name/type for the life of me.  Its covered the cut frag plate and I have added it on top of a bigger frag plate.thanks in advance. I just like to know whats in my tank so I can have a better understanding of care thats needed.

I've got a pair of ocellaris ORA (Premium?) Black Snowflake clowns in a 15ga tank. I guess they're getting too big for the tank and one of them has turned female and is acting as a constant aggressor to the other one.

 

The non-aggressive (male, the one on the right in the picture) has started losing some of his coloration and his fins have become a little bedraggled over the past day. I'm looking to rehome both of these guys to someone who has a larger tank that could accommodate them. They both are still eating just fine and are otherwise completely healthy. They just need a new home with more space 

 

If anyone is interested, please send me a PM or send me a text 8137865106. I live in Portland. Willing to trade the pair for any frags/pieces of coral or possibly other stuff. Looking for someone to grab these guys ASAP.
