AHHH!!! Now I see you understand what I feel when I see my True Blonde Naso tang is growing some scalpels.

I forgot to talk about the dimension. I feel the dimensions are perfect. It allows you to get that deep aquascape and yet not be a pain to clean. Your looking to get a peninsula will be less effected by the depth, so you will be even better off. I feel 30+ in depth or width in your case is the best starting point.

I'm also 6 ft tall. My current 120 stand is 36" and I still had to buy a Gorilla step ladder that's pictured to be able to get to the bottom. What height is your stand?

I would have to measure, but, its a standard CDA steel stand. I do have to use a ladder, but a 4ft ladder will work.

 

[fishybizzness]

I think their standard stands are also 36". Thanks for the reply

I just turned back on my AWC. I changed the amount on my Versa's from 8 gals a day to 2 gals a day. So roughly 14 gal's a week, or roughly 20 percent per month. I will do a 8000ml a day AWC vs. a 40000ml a day AWC.

I always find it funny when you add snails and they disappear. I added almost 400 snails last Friday and I only see a handful...LOL!!! I guess they went on strike or something, LOL!!!

That's not horrible. I bet it was pretty cool too see them all get dumped in

I was grabbing handfuls at a time of Cerith snails...LOL!!!

I am trying the natural approach to dealing with my algae issue currently. I may add another massive batch of snails.

I always liked Leopard wrasses, but, was put off because I thought they were hard to keep. After getting my Divided Leopard wrasse, aka, Blue Star Leopard wrasse, and having her for a few months, I am realizing that they are no harder to keep, you just need to understand what they want. Now I am looking at adding another Divided Leopard wrasse, that way I will have a Male and a Female.

I have an ornate leopard in my 75G. He is certainly a stunner and is so fun to watch. Personally, I would go with a different species. Your tank is big enough

I would like a male and female Divided Leopard wrasse, as they look completely different. I would like to get other Leopard wrasses, but, I would like a male Leopard wrasse and not have to buy a actual male.

Trust me when I say that there are several other Leopard wrasses I would love to have, but, I get tired of taking that chance that several hundred dollars just go's swimming down the drain.

Originally I was looking at getting Jeweled Leopard wrasse.

And the DOWNFALL OF @Bulk Reef Supply begins!!! First, after the buyout, BRS's own plumbing fittings were excluded from the 5x so called preferred reefer program. NOW, GHL has no points. I am getting close to sayin some strong points of action. I will email BRS to see what they say first before I say anything else. I am extremely disappointed in BRS!!!

OHH, and I just checked, Coralvue Hydros have no points as well...HMMM!!!

I switched salts for the simple reason of not being tied to a single vendor.
