Nice I'd imagine that the flow was excellent in there. Well I'm not a cube kinda guy but that looks very clean. Thanks for sharing. Tim

Yep nice and steady. I have two 5 gallon (food safe water containers) that will be for pre-made water. Just make sure to aerate it again and get it warmed up. Tim

Thanks...now I'm hungry. :razz: Tim

Hmm maybe take your water to a LFS or two and see if what their tests tell you. Maybe your test kits are bad? Tim

Ouch. Yeah, well that will kill that idea real quick. Well maybe a new stand would be a good idea. Tim

Awesome! Maybe a pic? Tim

I love the setup! Can't answer your questions as I no nothing of SPS. But I have an idea for your "sump" setup. How about the water coming from your tank split into a T and have one section go over a RDSB bucket and the other into a skimmer but and have both of those drain into a single 20g...

Yeah, we love to see pictures! :D Tim

Does it have red hair like stuff coming out of it? If it does it's probably a flame scallop, either way I would treat it like any other bivalve and target feed it micro plankton once in awhile. HTH. Tim

Well LOL I have to wait for my house to be built before I can take part in any contest. I have all the pieces for my tank...just no livestock and it still has to be put together. But! I close on my house on the 13th :cool1: Tim

Use LR rubble instead. JMO. Bio balls are indeed Nitrate bombs. Nice looking sump. I will be building a sump out of a 10g in a couple of weeks myself. I will be using a RIO1300 for my return pump. With 3 foot of vertical pvc and one 90degree turn I should be about 230 GPH. I will have a T...

I've seen people using a 150w MH for their tank but they had it almost 2 or 3 feet above the tank...seemed like a lot of overkill. I think the 70 should be just fine. Tim

Yeah the little white dots are the live creatures that show a healthy tank. Simply a piece of the ocean in your own home :lol: Glad to see everything is coming together nicely. Have you thoght anymore on what you want to put in your tank? Tim

Umm, not sure, maybe the stuff that works on windshields? Tim

I vote for the 3x36 only because if you want fish they may jumpers and need some kind of hood. But not sure what kind of coral you want to have. I pretty sure you won't have clams in that lighting but you should be able to have LPS and maybe a piece or two of SPS up high (check with others...

A couple of hermits wouldn't hurt but shouldn't you have a couple of Nassirius (ok I can't spell) snails to stir up the substrate. I would test the water to see what is out of whack. Not sure but maybe there is too much food left over after feedings? Also flow might be a problem. Tim

Yeah happy B-day. Maybe just mabye the ich will leave for a birthday present :D Tim

They cybershot will take pictures that are good enough to show us :cool1: Just turn off the flash. How big do the cocoworms get? Tim

For us mere mortals that don't have a LFS 250 feet away from us :angnot: I really think that a refractometer is a better investment than a hydrometer. Tim

How new a tank is it? Sounds odd to have fish in the tank with no cleaning crew? I'm guessing take out the fish, bump up cleaning crew, reduce light, and maybe the phosphate sponge. JMO. Tim
