April 23 Update (cont.) Water clears up after 3 days; temporary rock formation for cycling purpose Test drive of aquascape My 40G freshwater - some of the goldfish have been with me for 8 years

April 23 Update (cont.) Filled with Caribsea Seaflor Special Grade sand and saltwater Plumbing: drain pipe (left) and return line Ball valves for drain pipe (left) and return line

April 23 Update I finally found the time to move the tank inside and did some housekeeping. Photo updates follow: Stand in position Tank and stand GFCI - already paid off a few times over

Good looking corals. I'll come a-knockin' after the tank is done cycling.

Standard plumbing, through the overflow. I'm going to implement your idea of the siphon effect on the drain line with a Y split. I have a bulkhead that appears to be of the same size as the drainage hole, but is actually a little smaller. So I plan to go to the LFS to find the bulkheads, plus...

I got mine, courtesy of Andy (ItsAllGood). The starfish travels all over the sand bed, from one end to another. I don't think I need my nassarius snails anymore, since the starfish is doing such a great job sifting.

Hey, Adam! Love the tank, man. It's almost filled up with water now. I'll begin plumbing this weekend, hopefully if I have time. Kimmy, good to see you buddy! The free frags you gave me look good, with the exception of the xenia that didn't survive. Solus, you're way ahead of me. I need to move...

So after starting out with a 14G cube, I've become addicted to this hobby. Within a few months, I added a 24G cube and a 40G breeder. Now, at the six-month mark, more or less, I'm looking to consolidate these. I picked up a really clean, reef-ready 90G tank last Sunday from a fellow reefer (on...

What's that coral with the long tentacles? It's wicked! Impressive.

Another sweet giveaway on this forum? Groovy...

Yellow assessor, just because it's the most expensive fish in the tank, yet so, so tiny! Well, actually, the upside down swimming is awesome to observe.

I have the YWG/pistol shrimp pair in my 24G cube and Randall's goby/pistol shrimp pair in my 40G breeder. The YWG has this permanent scowl on its face, while the Randall's is smaller in size, but has big guts - it raises its top fin anytime another fish wanders into its area. Both pairs are fun...

Thanks. I bought it from RapidLED. Two are blue, and three are white, but I believe it can be customized. Electric bills are low, no need for chillers, infrequent topoffs, and spotlight effect. The softies love this light, but so far I haven't had a lot of luck with SPS. I plan to add more bulbs...

I have the same cube, with removed lid as well. I use a PAR38 LED bulb. I had other corals in it before, but right now there's only a haddoni carpet with a mated pair of maroon gold-stripe clownfish and a pair of pistol shrimp and yellow watchman goby. I actually have to use a heater to keep the...

From my experience of using distilled water bought at Walmart when I set up my first SW cube, it is not the same as RO/DI water. I had a bout of red slime, bubble and green hair algae. After buying a used BRS RO/DI unit from a fellow reefer, I haven't seen the algae come back at all.

This is a great deal. How big are the snails? I might have to look it up.

Got this guy from Andy (ItsAllGood - Thanks, man!)... ... and these two, a citron goby and tomato clown, from Tong's... ... in addition to some nassarius snails, some bright green zoas and 3 chromis from Coral Oasis. That should do it for me for a while (until the urge comes up again).

Mine doesn't bother the corals. He usually swims near the top and follows me whenever I'm near the tank. At night, he fits snugly into a nook and sleeps.

Not yet. I'll get her a small, cute guy (hopefully) Wednesday on one of those wholesale runs.

Thought I'd share: my tomato clown & her playpen
