Well the live rock arrived and I have it washed and ready to go in the two tanks. I am going to go with small amounts and plan to build the rest of the tank up with rocks that have stuff on them. These will be my base rock. I know they don't look like much, but I think it will be a good...

sadielynn Sounds like you had your hands full today.....Seems to me like a well thought plan, was accomplished without a hitch. I am sure you are going to be very happy with the results!!! All I can say is WOW about that mushroom, you have!!! It is beautiful..... Good luck with the tank!

Looks like one sweet set-up..... Did you install extra electrical outlets too???

Not hardly..... I am just excited about trying to do something nice, with such a unique size tank.....It is going to be a real challenge to work with such a small volume of water.

I had no idea it was that bad...... Sounds like you are making the right move!!!

hair algae is a nightmare... :sad: here is what I have done and it seems to work for me, might not be for everyone.... I add 3 emerald cabs... 1 lawnmower blenny..... 10 Hawaiian Zebra Hermit.. Keep up with your 10% water changes...EVERY week... Try and get your fuge running...

sadielynn, Just how bad is this cyano problem??? I hope you are not going over board on the cure. These cyano out breaks are going to happen as your tank matures.... You realized that you were feeding too much and cut down..... You realized that you needed more water flow and took care...

First let me say......"Welcome Aboard" The choice will pretty much be, what you like the looks of, what you will want to keep and how much you want to spend. Don't be in a rush to get into the prebuilt set-ups, unless you find one that will do everything you want it to do. They are tough...

All right...a sneak peak of a couple more.... Let just say, some of these are going to find a new home in my 6.6.... :loveface

OK, I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but I am so excited about my order of goodies, arriving today..... here are a few shots of some of the things that arrived. These all came out of the Florida keys and are straight from the ocean to here......

skipm, thanks for the links.....I have quite an assortment of macro pumps in my fish closet, so If the need arises I should be ready..... I have taken the advice of the many helpful members and shortened the inlet tubes of my AquaClear filters. I tried cutting the u-tube to save the...

Nah.....you know those girls....over at nano-reef.... :wh It is going to be a wait and see on the added current. Right now without the rock in, the AquaClears will blow the sand off the bottom, if I turn them to full.....This tank is only 8" high!!!LOL

The main reason was for clearance below the light. Even with the legs on it, it's still very close. Plus I wanted to be able to adjust the flow over different parts of the tank. When you see my aquascape, I think you will see what I have in mind...... Keep the ideas coming, every little thing...

You guys are sooooo right!!! :razz: I can already see some sand building up under the sponges. Here comes the saw!!! I spent almost 2 hours at work today drawing differnt seascapes for the 6.6.....I think I have one I really like. I hope the rock that I get will let me do it. I told the...

Well the filters for the 6.6 arrived today along with some sand so I am finally under way!!! The live rock should be here Friday..... To get good filtration and flow, I decided to go with 3 AquaClear 20's. I placed them along the back wall of the 6.6 here is a pic..... The sand I am...

One thing I like that melev doesn't do is have as much surface area as I can for my algae. I like to have sand and rock as well. I agree with you, most people don't give their fuges enough quality light. I can see you are a master of DIY, so you will be able to figure out how many baffels and...

Way south of you..... :razz: Right where NY, PA and NJ meet.......bout 2 hours North West of the city.

Hey drty811, I was checking out your links.....NICE pics.....NICE tank! quite a story on that 20 long....man talk about sh it happening!!!

I agree with reefman23.... The 20 long is a sweet tank!!! Just don't over load it with rock, it is only 12" deep.....

Great pics.... What lighting does your tank have?
