Finding Sauce (a lot of tanks in a little time) RSR 250 Nem tank

Yeah it just depends i think they just prefer own space more than anything.
My wife put a pulsing xenia near minecraft though and minecraft starting walking off its disc so def didn't like that.

I love mushroom gardens. I know there's all these rules about who can go with who. I let them tell me if there's a problem. I've got a bunch of discos touching rhodis and rics with no issue

I was wondering about that….

Sorry kids, still fighting a nasty cold. Just woke up from a many hour nap, could have and wanted to stay sleeping but had to get up to test the alk.

Amazing stuff to share, compliments of @F i s h y

So here's we go!

J-Stone put together a Bad Ace little care package for me. Packaging was a clinic, nothing had room to move and the delicate one suspended in styrofoam.
It looked like this

I know nothing about any of these, so @F i s h y may have to fill us in on the back story.

As always, not sorry about dirty glass!

One mushroom hasn't opened up much yet for me to get a good description much less picture.

#2 SUPER bright pink Goni. Interested to see how it likes my tank. Historically I haven't been able to keep gonis happy but I have a good feeling about this one.

#3 beautiful Rhodactis. It looks like it's got White Walker colors. Can't wait to see it lay out.

#4 I'll let this beautiful thing speak for itself.

#5 M.C. Hammer Time

Bi color/splattered looking hammer w THREE HEADS...

I was pretty darn stoked to see the colors start unfolding here.

Even though I'm filled with snot and mucus and a virus wreaking havoc on my perfect complecion.... This box filled me with a lot of Love. Thank you Jason and the Whole Dam Fam.

They look great! Glad you like them @Lost in the Sauce that hammer I was so worried about. I know how rough shipping can be.
The hammer and #4 are part of my stash I've been growing out from @fishguy242 his stuff blows me away. 30% of my tank houses coral I got from him.
When you are ready to throw a higher end sps in there I have a hidden gem, wild acro I got from him. Can't get good pics but it's baby blue and purple... I'm calling it purple haze. I'm growing out 5 peices of it currently so I can have a few to pass around.

SWEEET...POPPIN NOW..

I'm super stoked my man. That mushie #4 is an obvious heart breaker!

I did the responsible thing with acros to test and see . Bought a $150 frag.... Will I ever learn. I've got great pe and the color initially lost is coming back in

Drain configuration has been settled. Going with a trapezoidal overflow, peninsula Style.

Only thing left to decide is what I need done from the manufacturer, for returns.

I know coming up over the back is an option, but one I would like to keep on the back burner unless there are no other suitable options.
I would like to keep the far left side free of plumbing if possible as that is a primary viewing angle.
Where would you expect to see returns here? Half way and far left on the back wall?

need pic, cannot compute...

Fail on my part!

 

[fishguy242]

???

???

So you would go three along the back? Are your arrows showing direction of flow?

Intuitively I would have thought we would want most of the flow moving toward the overflow. Is that not the case?

1" all the way to the bulkheads then could split to 1/2" inside.

 

[fishguy242]

yes ,correct, will create circular flow, then combat that with a mp/etc, on drain wall,create random flow but will keep "should"topwater flowing to weir.

Fx150 gyre planning for the far left top shooting across the top, fx90 gyre about mid tank coming out/down and will set the power heads where needed.

That would be a lot of gear up top on the back wall.

I'm hoping to have a lot more tank turnover than I have now, in the new tank
