Got a custom truvu acrylic tank about a month ago 32x18x18 so its 44.88 gallons ;) I got this tank for two reasons one, jumpers are really starting to bum me out and two im sick and tired of dog hair in my tank so its pretty much sealed off as you can see. I have a stocked 20g long that i plumbed into it today and will transfer stock here and there once I decide on an aquascape and then ill use the 20g as a frag tank. Sumps an eshopps 3rd gen r-100 skimmers a reef octopus somthing or other and I havent really decided on lighting yet has a china led over it ATM to cycle the sand also set the fuge up today with some LR macro and a mangrove I found at the LFS more to come soon I hope thanks for looking :)

Nice tank. Does your snowflake eel ever bother your fish? I would love to get one but all my fish are going to be smaller type species so I worry the eel would eat them all.

@divergirl, i actually watched my male pom pom punk the eel out of his hole she's extremely docile and doesn't bother anything. I do keep her well fed (three feedings a day with rods fish only) that may play a roll in her peacefulness. A joy to have :)

Yeah, great looking tank. Nice variety of corals, you do not see a lot of Porites and Leptoseris ,Psammocora. Good selection of Montipora too.

Also its my understanding that morays are in the pebble tooth family so snails hermits invertebrates are their normal diets I think its out of character for them to hunt fish I would imagine if the opportunity presented itself tho and she was hungry bye bye fishy :/

Reactor is all hooked up with some help from a few members I believe I have it set right, been about 12 hours and things look normal so yay. On a side note I wanna say I love my freakin jebaos! Goin on a year with these two and not one problem. Can't beat that for 40$ and when they do break I'll fork over the 40$ for new ones. I have the 2 mp10s in ecosmart mode and the little jeboa's on wave mode in the back so the tank has a nice rock to it. Love those pumps lol k I'm done

Looks really good man! I love the size. I always like to see what others do with a tank around the size of mine. I'll be following along on this one.
