Going from 135g to 300g

[DaveMorris]

I've been doing the foam thing during the big game. Let me know what you think...





I also siliconed gravel onto my CL returns to help disguise them as they will be poking through the rockwork. It may not have been necessary, but better to do it now instead of wishing that I had done it later.

Tons of worms, bristle and others
Tons of snails, Nassarious, Trochus, Astrea, Nerite

Tube anenome (already have him)
At least two or three pistol shrimp/goby pairs

As far as corals, it will be a mixed reef with a lot of SPS.

I was going to mention wrasses but I see that they will turn your harlequin shrimp into an expensive meal

Im sure the tangs will be very happy with all the swimming space

[ambikone]

so far so good. wish i would of thought about the pvc and foam. I just bought all rock, oh well....next tank! =)

 

[L.A.-Lawman]

did you cover the CL intake also with sand.... i would probably switch that out. it might be a hair algae or bubble algae attractant. they look for little nooks and crannies to attach them self too. my tunzes are loaded with bubble algae. i have to clean them often. i can only imagine what the CL intake would look like.

great build. What skimmer are you gonna use?

 

[Bebo77]

[DaveMorris]

Well, since you ask...

The tank is going very well. Here's some shots
