Energy, first of all, sorry some of the information I gave on you tank was not completely accurate. Most of it was pretty close though.
 Second, you mentioned removing the red sea sailfin tang because it was nipping the stingray's tail. How did you go about removing a fish from such a large system?

I'm not sure about him but I was trying to catch my yellow tang and I put food in my net. My red sea sailfin is such a damn pig, he went all the way into the net. Now my yellow tang is not as dumb.

Since he was a little more brazen and aggresive he was easy to catch. I use a small critter container with an opening in th etop. It's clear so the fish can see the food i place in it. They swim through the opening in the top which they can swim out of real easy as well. The trick is to reach in and grab the container as their in it. They panic and don't want to swim up towards the hand that is reaching down towards them. Pick the container and fish up and their you go.

Sponge refugium: this is a very simple design. It is a 75 gallon unlight tank which gravity feeds into the main display. The water is slowly pumped into one end where it is forced up to the top by a baffle. The live rock with seed sponges are placed in the center of the aquarium where Ibuilt some racks for them to grow onto. The opposite end of the tank has the over flow for the water to dump directly into the tank. Again the trick is low flow for the cryptic sponges. I like the gravity option becuase it provides live food 24 hours a day. Crytpic sponges are easily aquired through live rock. All of my rock was in tanks for years so the ones that had the most sponge growth went directly into the refugium.

Styrofoam in a can: 90% of the information I reviewed was from Reef Central. Their are a lot of old threads talking about using it. From what I gathered it all breaks down. Their was pictures of the black "pond" stuff breaking down from exposure to the sun. The material is inert after it dries. I used the epoxy resin to cover it for two reasons. One was to act as a barrier against the lights to an extent, but the main reason was to get the sand to adhere in an even coat. Once the sand sticks to the epoxy resin on the styrofoam not much styrofoam is left viewable to break down.

If any of you have them, I would like to see more photo's of the fish room. As nice as the tank is to look at, I'm very curious about the the area and setup behind the beauty.
I'm in the process of designing a fish room (on a slightly smaller scale) and would surely be able to learn a few things from this one. Great tank!
