invincible- the skimmer needs to be cleaned
out, I have yet to clean it top to bottom from the day it got water,the sumps and tank need to be syphoned also-been concentrating on the system components more then maintenance-  46bfinGA- no worries on the alum. diamond metal it will hold up for this application just fine-the specular clear sheet was actually a gift from a local metal supply house-the sheet had 6" cut off of it for a sample so they just gave it to me which left me with enough to cover a 96" pc. of plywood-lumenarcs are made of the same material from what I understand. |

what is that? It looks like a black tang but with the body form of a scopas. Is that just the juevenile form?

update-with the 4 day weekend, I'm gonna
start moving corals over from the 450. I plan on doing a 10min. tmpcc dip to all the acro's before they go in wether they need it or not-good idea? Three acanthrus tangs-chocolate,powder blue and achilles have settled in over the past few weeks,besides the pair of african clowns still in the old tank, I need to decide what to do with the others-3 purple ,1 chevron, 2 hippo tangs-sargassum trigger,cb butterfly,fairy wrasse, tail spot bleny, janze pipe. The 450 is gonna be fowlr and there is 3 puffers-mappa,porc and stars/stripes- in my 150g /deep sand bed connected to the 700 waiting to be moved over.Lots still to do

Im big into aquascaping and check this forum for inspiration.
The latest aquascape looks like its better. I was going to say whats the point of paying so much for reef ceramic if its just going to be covered up? the tank was looking too full of rock.... your robbing the fish of swimming space. Nice work so far

funny how you can have so much room and
too much rock. I had some real big pcs. and got a little carried away,since I have done a little thinning out and when all the corals are in, there will be more to thin out I am sure. About the corals, moved a few frags/colonies today. Meantime a real bad thing happened-worst nightmare- my brand new achilles that has settled in/eating everything-some how got his dang mouth full of superglue while I was mounting frags-dang. I do not know how the heck he got in it, I have always worried about that happening- very discouraging and might need to re-aquascape just to catch him. |

life is good!!!!!!!- Yes the fish had a beard
of glue and his mouth was glued shut. I fed and he tried eating but could not get his mouth opened!! I wake up today dreading to have to catch this fish, but whatever happened overnight between him the rocks and the other fish, dude's mouth is clean of all glue and he can actually eat everything I throw in the tank again.He does have signs of cryp/ich but if my mouth was glued shut I would prolly get stressed also.I will feed well today and hopefully he'll battle through.

well I would guess that the fish's ability to slime probably played a key role.

Having that tank in a room with a pool table would scare the ... out of me. An errant ball could send it crashing, major flood. Wouldn't want to lose a reef like that.
