I thought I would share some new pictures of my tank and its inhabitants. Switched 2 of my T5 bulbs to the new ATI Procolors and I am much happier with the look.
Full tank shots: My GSM finally decides to venture more than 1.5 inches away from his RBTA The three musketeers: You don't want to know what "Tom" the Tomini tang is waiting for the wrasse to do... Well, fish stocking is complete, and so I'm finally going to start to add some corals! I'll post pictures of the new additions soon.

I noticed something in the bottom left hand corner of this picture...almost like a worm or something. Do you see it and what is it ? |

Rockwork also very nice! |

Funny thing, I thought I would have the most trouble with the Maroon Clown, but she has been the most peaceful resident of the tank.

Thanks for your comments, Jan.

The worm crawled out of the sand a few days ago. It's long, very thin and white. It looks thicker because its covered in substrate. I think it's a spaghetti worm, but I'm not sure. It doesn't move very much, that's for sure.

Can you tell me how you reached BRI? They have no contact info on their website, and their phone seems to be disconnected. Since they won't sell direct, I was trying to find a dealer up here in Massachusetts, but no joy.... |

So BRI won't sell direct, you have to go through your LFS or something?

SirJohn,
Where did you end up getting the RODI and 2 part containers. Mainly I like the RODI topoff container, but seem to have issues finding something like yours. I do not mind my current setup with a HD 5 gal covered pail, but If I can save horizontal space, by going a little more vertical, that would make me happy. I am sure 1g rubbermade containers are pretty easy to find. I just received all my pieces for my 2 part dosing, so I would prefer to set it up right, if I cannot find anything I suppose I can just add 2 milk bottles. |

I just love your tank. The rock work. All the nice white sand bed showing and love your fish list. What corals are you going with?

I am going with a mix of lps/softies. I also plan to add a few clams at the top, make sort of a clam mountain or something Work's kept me away from the tank recently, but I should have some updated pics soon.

Great Job on the setup... aquascaping... stand and canopy...actually, EVERYTHING!!!! Husky turned me over to your thread as I just bought a 92 corner as well. Your thread (& his) will be very insightful. If its not to much to ask, I was wondering if I can see your set up one day in person? Congrats on the great tank and work!!

Wonderful setup! Very clean layout. Any update pictures? I just started a 54 gallon version of your tank and hope I can keep it as organized. Larry O |

sirjohn,
I have been keeping an eye on your tank for the past couple of months. It looks great. I have the same tank and a similar stand, that has been running for about a year, however all of the equipment is second hand and we are wanting to upgrade. I was wondering if you can answer a few questions about your tank set up for me? What are the lights attached to? How are the lights configured, are they centered or staggered? Looking in my hood I was thinking 24", then 3-36" then 2-24", or was there a better way to make them fit. Do you find that the t5's are powerful enough for everything in your tank, namely the Anemone? Do you like the vortech's? Do they provide enough circulation by themselves? Right now we have 3 powerheads that are very ugly and I don't think they provide enough flow. We were thinking of breaking down our tank to add a sump, and in the mean time we could add spray bars behind the rock. Or do the vortechs add enough flow behind the rock without spray bars? Would love to see updated pictures if you have any. Thanks, Marcie |

Marcie, keep in mind that spray bars usually call for a pressure rated pump, and usually take a lot of GPH...
Also, I am sure his t5's on individual reflectors are enough for anything, but if you are worried you can always fit a Mh + t5 supplement. I have a Lumenarc Stealth Mini De, + 2x24" T5 and 1x36" t5 on my 92 corner canopy. |

Quick question, not sure if this has been covered before, but where did you get your sump from?
thanks |

The best looking tank I've ever seen (and I read ToTM). Everything is so well planned out down to the last detail -- it's aesthetically pleasing in every aspect.
I love it. |
