Went through your thread. Very cool. And only a 10. Sweet. Think I'm becoming an acan lover. That multicolored one is sweet. Also like the ricordeas. I think lps is so much more entertaining than sps. Great build brother.

The sweepers on that stunner don't bother anything?

joshbbert · Feb 26, 2015

Thanks man! Flow carry's them opposite the monti and there just barely out of reach of everything else. A snail bulldozed it into an acan so it has a nice bit of flesh missing now

Nice acans, how's the overflow working? Any issues occur since the change?

joshbbert · Feb 26, 2015

Thanks! Only real issue is top offs if the water gets too low I get a gurgle so an ato should fix that but my water surface is crystal clear so its awesome. I'm working on a new home for everything new sump stand etc

My stunner is crazy resilliant. I got a good sized piece. 2 smaller pieces fell off. The smaller one fell onto my meteor shower. I picked it up. It fell on my blue candy cane. I picked it up. It fell on my torch. Etc.... then it disappeared for two+ weeks. Found it a week ago.under the live rock in the dark. Its almost back to color. Lol and its only a half inch piece. Nice sps though.

Lol that always seems to happen to me when I glue things. Ya I'm hoping it comes back I really like it so well see

Very nice. I used to have a few sexy shrimp in a 5 gallon, and I think you just convinced me to get some more. I forgot how cool they are.

joshbbert · Feb 26, 2015

Thanks wiz really appreciate it. My sexys are awesome they've split into 2 groups one owns the Xenia and the other the frogspawn its pretty funny its like a westside story dance off when they cross paths lol

Little bit of an upgrade today swapping out the 10 for 20g shallow with a glass holes overflow and new stand hopefully its a smooth transition

joshbbert · Mar 4, 2015

Water is in!! Took a few days and a bit of modification to the stand but I'm almost done. The overflow is a bit noisy if I'm honest but overall I'm happy with the glass holes kit and it beats the old setup. I put the old 10 underneath and am using it as a temp sump while I work a few things out. Some pics of the build

have an aquaclear hob on till the sand clears up

the girls building the stand

the sump area in shambles lol

joshbbert · Mar 6, 2015

Live stock is in and I picked up a remora skimmer for the sump still playing with the rock work

joshbbert · Mar 11, 2015

Update FTS got a lot done this weekend

added tons of new corals from my brothers tank breakdown some happy some not so much also put a kessil 150 in the sump area and picked up next reef 13g sump haven't put it in yet

as you can see I'm rocking the old 10g temporarily lol and if anyone can identify this bad boy,
