Some diatoms going on now. So far everything is acclimating well.

Oh yeah, won't be long before your tank is settled and it takes off!

I keep looking at corals I want to add. I have to keep telling myself ‘AP700s first!’ :D

 

[Flippers4pups]

Decisions, descisions........ Do lights first, if that's what you want, then corals.

 

[GoVols]

First thing I see when I walk through the front door. Just makes me smile that it’s finally running. Looking forward to adding coral.

That is so nice.

Dsnakes,
We're proud for you and you did a great job.
That was the perfect spot for your home.

I'm pushing one AP700 and two over your tank will be perfection.

Thank you so much!

I couldn’t help myself. Participated in my first live sale tonight - A Reef Creation. So we will have a few new corals to add next week :D

Task of the day - Retrieve clownfish from back corner overflow... any tips? I don’t know if it’s possible.

Can you pull the pipes out?

 

[Dsnakes]

Can you pull the pipes out?

Yes, and I suppose that might be the only way. Little fish will probably go for a ride and end up in the sump if I go that route.

I've had to get them out of a wet dry before.

Thanks to quick thinking by @Flippers4pups the Clown is safely out of the corner. Time to fabricate some covers!

 

[Fudsey]

Well..... What did you do ?????

Your welcome!

 

[Flippers4pups]

He pulled the up flow panel of the overflow out of the tank. This gives about an inch for swim room out of the overflow.

He's got gate valves on his drains. Closing them allowed the DT to fill higher and the clown to swim out.


He needs to build something similar to keep them out:

Nice man. I'm in the works on a 125 perfecto as well.

Well done so far!

Some zoas and palys moved. The zoas have their own rock and the palys are each on their own away from rock work. Hopefully keep them from taking over ;Nailbiting

They will find away to relocate, even on their own rock.

;Drowning I didn’t want to hear that.

I agreee they likely will. I did think of that when moving them over, but thought, “that will never happen to me” ;) we know how that ends! :p

Yep, they done that to me. Spread throughout the tank. Now I have to live with them.
