How are you liking the tank @HotRocks? I need all the reacon I can get

 

[HotRocks]

I have a couple updates.

My idol decides to turn my 6" Maxima clam into lunch. Clam closes on his snout. My wife calls me in the middle of the day freaking out. She had to pry the clam open in order to get him free. Took him a couple weeks to heal, all is well now. The clam didn't outlive the ordeal.

I have a few new fish additions. Coming soon almost through QT. I will post pics once they hit the DT.

I have a GHL 4 pump doser I need to install but I'm always busy QTing all of @4FordFamily's fish! Ha!

Now we have picked up his new wall tank and will be starting that project soon. So that may be the more active build thread here soon! @Antics !!!

 

[Antics]

New fish! I want new fish! My build thread is a desolate wasteland of updates, so no shade being thrown here!

I love the tank. It runs great. It's beautiful, simple, clean. One thing I wish I hadn't skimped on was my power heads. I use jebaos. They keep going out. This winter when work is slow and I have free time, I want to start adding some SPS. So I will get the doser installed and then decide if I'm going to go with gyres or MP40s.

Awesome to hear. Were going with 2 gyres on ours. It's a big purchase so I like hearing it's a nice tank. Lol

Thanks!

I can get some. Other than the initial build pics I don't think I've had much of a reason to record or photograph the sump!

Yes that looks like them!

My 180 acrylic was light compared to this thing... at least twice as heavy!

It's only as hard as you make it!

If I can do it so can you! This tank is nearing a year old. I've been in the hobby as long as the tank is old!

Wow what a list! Do the powder blue and brown get along?

They get along fine. My Achilles is becoming more aggressive towards my powder blue.

 

[elisa h]

Good to hear. Not sure why that posted again! Not sure how to edit it.
