240 gallon build

You can talk to Jay about where he got his long USB cables from as he ordered his from somewhere other than Neptune.

This is where they (Neptune) recommends to get cables from: USBFirewire - Search results - apex

Thanks for the info!

Nice. I have a vlamingi tang and sailfin tang that are paired up as buddies and can't wait to get them in my 240 build.

Wow, those are some big tangs and they look tiny in the 240. Awesome man!!!!

I ran 4 15ft standard USB cables between 2 tanks. It works fine. Just make sure you get one cable that has male connections on both ends.
Nice looking tank.

Thanks for confirming the 15ft thing, Planedoc. I personally much prefer 4 $2 cables over one $70 cable. :)

Holy what, it's been two months since I got the tank up and running, here's a little update and some pics.

Got pellets (thanks Bob!), GFO, and carbon up up running for about a month now. Amazing how much the carbon helps with water clarity.

Ok bad news first. This may utterly shock and awe, but my regal tang got ich. Unfortunately, my naso was not able to handle it and passed, but the regal fully recovered and no one visibly showed signs. As for my other casualties, my black clowns got a little too close to the power heads and got stuck before I noticed. The talbots also picked each other off.

Ok good news, almost all my coral are doing awesome and showing lots of growth under the reef radiance LEDs. The fish are fat and happy and the red cyano I was fighting all but disappeared while I was down south.

Couple pics

Sorry to hear your Naso didn't make it. :-/

How much GFO and carbon are you running in your reactors?
