Nice work on the frames Toxic. Glad to hear your levels are constant and good luck with the transfer tomorrow.

Took longer than I thought, especially because scaping the 60lbs from my RSM..

What a mess thank got wifey is understanding.

Here's a teaser for now an empty RSM

Yes the move went well for now. The blenny, jawfish and mandarin pair is still hiding. Buy the clowns are all ove the tank exploring.

And what do don't like being teased?!?!

Well here's another one for you

A clowdy tank. :xd:

 

[xmetalfan99]

Atleast I can see some corals in that one. I'm glad the move went well. Now you can relax and literally watch the dust settle.

man i really need to take some pics... i've been holding out till i get me a DSLR but it seems like mother nature is taking my camera money...

 

[ToXIc]

Ok well I hoped to take my 1st FTSs with my new D3100 but mother nature took care of that...

So here's pics from my iPhone.

Nice didn't know your tank this far along. Keep up the good work. I need to come by and check this bad boy out.

 

[ToXIc]

Tanks man...... (Teehehehe)

But I'm sure it pales in comparison to your tank crammed with LE corals..

Sure stop by anytime. Just make sure to bring some sexy frags :angel:

 

[ToXIc]

better FTS

 

[skinz78]

Looking good, is this a 4'x 2'x 2' tank?

 

[ToXIc]

yipper....

 

[skinz78]

Nice same dimensions as mine!

Have you had any issues with the Tangs in there? I have a Desjardini but I am thinking I want to add another at some point.

 

[ToXIc]

no the tangs love it.. i got plenty of caves for them to swim trough.. got 5 tangs in there check post #50.. the 5th one is a baby hippo..

one thing tho try to pics all the tangs out then add them all at once.. this cuts down on the territorial fights which occur when adding tangs one by one..

Toxic.. Tank looks good. Hate to hear of the issues as of Late. On thing that Im surprised no one else pointed out are the check valves you have on those pumps. you do know they have a metal spring inside that will corrode and fail? a properly setup system will drain down and not overflow the sump. you may want to double check those. Check valves will fail.

Yeah it was an expensive/emotional nightmare.

I got the pumps with the valves from the previous owner. What do you recommend?

Amazing tank! The third seat in your cargo van is halarious.
