Oceanic 215 with Solaris Build

[Me No Nemo]

Thanks all! Yes, it's being built in sections so it can be pulled apart if we need to get to the back for any reason. The canopy will also be recessed. There will be some simple crown molding on top and also some wood trim tying all the wood work together. We need to talk soon!

I had a trio of Bartlett's Anthais (1 male and 2 females). One weekend while I was away, the male jumped out of the tank. In less than 48 hours the dominant female turned in to a male.

My tank is doing very well! My SPS are growing and coloring up nicely. All my fish are doing exceptionally well. The only coral I'm having some problems with at this point is one of the two Aussie Elegance and a favia, but I think I just have to feed more as the tank is so new.

This is a killer set-up. Did you build a rack to hold your rock in place, or is it just stacked? Also, what kind of substrate did you use? If I had that much flow in my tank with my sugar fine sand, I'd have a constant sandstorm.

[Me No Nemo]

The bulbs should last at least 5 years.

Thanks for the compliment PPP. have the Carib Sea Sugar fine sand...I've personally found that best. My sand is staying pretty much spotless. We altered the flow so it just barely stirs the top of the sand. I have about 10 Tongan Nassarius snails and 5 Tongan conchs on my cleanup crew. They do an awesome job. I also have two Carribean cucumbers. My rock is just stacked. I love the Tonga Fusion Branch rock as it not only is very porous (I feel you need less as there's a lot more surface area due to the porosity) and the form of the rock allows for excellent stacking. The pieces I got are the XLarge show pieces...most were between 30 and 55 lbs, and pretty much just fit together. I'm very pleased with the way the rockwork came out..nice clean look with lots of space for adequate flow.

Very Nice Paveking! Are these the H or I series?
