Monster Reef and I put together the QT system. Looks good Ill take pics once its painted and set where I want it. I had the original idea that I had from Gimmito, but due to the fact I ended up needing to be able to get behind of the QT system since its in front of a window that I will have blocked. When I say blocked i mean from sun lite. Also Im not sure if i will stick with this design. But for now by the end of the week or mon of next I will place a fish order to fill it with.

Since the system is running, I am waiting for it to cycle. I figured by the time it has cycled, the fish will have been in QT long enough. Once Those fish get introduced I will order again and do the same to that batch.

Tangboy, is that your personal experience with a Foxface?

I've got a large Foxface in my system and have never had an issue with it nipping corals. To be honest with ya, I've never heard of that with a foxface before...
