Cool.

That's basicly the whole point of threads like these.

There is absolutely no way my setup would look like this without the info I get from RC!

Update:

I picked up a Crocea Ultra!



I decided to setup a QT tank for my GSP because I noticed a bristle worm crawling on the LR it's mounted on.

haha, Oh well. I'm sure you'll eventually get some more, although it seems like you don't want them.

You got me.

They are UGLY and I was not sad to hear they are good for my tank after it was gone.

haha You could always put them in your fuge so they would be out of sight. Not like you have sand in the display anyway.

I decided to build a silencer for my skimmer today.

I don't know how anybody can live without one.

I used some clear tubing with water bottle caps for the ends.

That works? Great I'm making one.

Question: Your sump is pretty full, whats to stop an overflow if a power outage? I set the level of my sump so that any back flow there would be enough room in the sump to handle it. I live in sunny Florida, I have to think of these things!

2 questions about the GSP.

1. How much did that cost?
2. Do they grow fast?

I woke up this morning and my temp hit 85!!! My temp is always a solid 80.

I thought these sequence pump don’t add heat? Yeah right!

I am to the point that I think I might need a chiller.

Boy you sure can tell why the tangs require a large long tank when you see him take off in the first video.

I got two true percs on Tuesday.

The first few days they would fight but now they are best buddies!

My powder blue tang could care less about them.
