I worked for Aquarium Concepts for years and we got one or two every 6 months or so. They are called black sun corals (tubastraea micrantha) and are really a poor poor coral choice....pretty hard to keep but there are a lot who can keep the orange ones just fine. They are not photosynthetic...

It is there for oxygenation mainly for use with undergravel filters. No need to hook it up at all on a reef as long as.... 1) circultion is good... 2) you don't have a hang on overflow box that would use it to suck the air out to create the siphon. Using it also increases evaporation...

It's just a buck or two a pound at a local store. It'll cost you more to pay someone to ship it than it would to just get some at a store. Cameron

I've ordered from them multiple times....xlnt on every occasion and their specials they email out are great... Cameron

They are 3/4 pvc conduit parts with slip/slip couplers connecting the riser to the 390 pipe. There is a slip/thread coupler from the 90 pipe to the regent hood. Ran about 4 bucks for all the stuff. Here are some more pics of the tank with rock, sand, fish, and a top off system...

If you guys are into DIY projects you can make a 70w kit for around $150 to $200...just as good as anything you can buy. You can also make DIY 150 and 250 setups. Cameron

How long did it take? Usually doesn't take too long as long as you have the right clown to anemone match. We want pics 8) Cameron

Hehehehe....top off is drying :lol: I'm not sure about dividers....no real need for them. I'm a bare bones kinda guy and don't run skimmers or anything so I'm not sure if I'd benifit from dividers. Also, considering how flexible the sump is I'm not sure if they'd hold. Cameron

My DIY light hanger...this setup will allow me to move the light up and down, along with the ability to swing it out of the way. Her's another sump pic. Now I've got some water in it, my heater and my return pumps. I chose to use 2 old MaxiJet 1200 pumps. I have a ton of them so why...

Well, UPS dropped off some of my goodies today so I set my 20 back up and it's totally mobile...I can move it anywhere...lol First off I places my 20 on a rolling kitchen cart which I used heavy duty casters on. BTW, this cart has a butcher block top on it :D. Next I got a rubbermaid...

.....for some new lighting. I had to get a few 32w pc's to replace the ones on my minibow and since I'm gonna revamp my old 20, I picked up a 70w 10k Aqualine bulb and a IceCap 70w ballast to get my Regent fixture retroed....I'm looking forward to it so I thought I'd share 8) Cameron

I've seen that before but not many have that now. It's a great thing to make sure of. Zip ties have millions of uses in tanks...it's amazing :D Cameron

What is your bio filter? You don't have an undergravel system do you? Is the hang on filter a bio wheel or just a cartridge? Most scavengers don't count so much in the fish rule but it sounds like if you want a school you need a bigger tank. Could you elaborate on what filters you have...

There are too many variables to take into account BUT generally speaking 2 is it IMO. Cameron

I've been using if since the first beta release. Only has gotten better. No pop ups, smoother running, and no funky os interfering in my browser. Def. a good upgrade. Cameron

If you're talking about the plastic ring that surrounds the top of the tank than yes, you can remove it but you lose it's purpose. The tank will have nothing but silicone holding the glass panes togther and it you fill it full I'd be prepared for a cleanup sooner or later. You'll probably want...

Wall, that is why I said it's a good starting point. It's def. no great. Most newbies who would delve right in would be looking for advice on MH and therefore would likely be informed. It's a good starting point but hardly realistic in a lot of apps. Cameron

Without getting into the complexities of lighting, the watts per gallon rule is a good starting point for newbies and for poeple trying to get an idea on how to light conventionally dimensioned aquariums. With researching, coral selections, and every other variable I've seen that rule broken...

Yeah, I DON"T recommend it...lol. It was ok but due to my schedule at the time getting a water change in was too hard. I try to avoid going any longer than a month. Cameron
