Looks good, you think you got enough rocks in that tank?

Not sure. Do you think so? I can add more in the sump if you think there isn't enough biological filtration.

ummm I meant you have a lot in there

IS that the tank you got from me?

Sure is! You like?

WOW!!! :OMG: I would never have noticed! I thought that you bought another tank! Man... You have done a GREAT job with that tank! :clap1:

Looks good, great start.

Do you plan on adding any powerheads to the display to improve flow?

Did you do anything to secure the rock together?

How about a pic of the sump.

Thanks! I'm just now beginning to add coral.

I did have a MaxiJet 1200, but I think it fried up and quit working, so I'm going to wait until I get some money and buy a couple Tunze 6025s.

Rocks are just sitting there; no epoxy or anything.

I'll take a few pics of the sump today. It was too dark last night with the storm clouds rolling in.

You think I do? Which ones do you think I should take out?

Thanks! It's amazing what $100.00 and three weeks can do.

what do you plan to put in there? coral wise?
you need to give everything room to grow.
lps like hammers, frogspawn, lobo's get big.
you already know sps get huge. and some softies get huge as well and not just encrust.
if you like it keep it, but i would try to get creative with my scaping, make it more functional.

I would like to do SPS on the rocks with zoas and GSP growing on the back and bottom of the tank. Maybe I'll create a split in the rocks to allow more room for the SPS. I'll just have to play around with it. I already know I want to get rid of all the rocks with pallies and rics, so that should give me some more room.

The tank looks great Treston. You are only 15 and so dedicated.

When I was 15, I had a 10/g tank with 2 gold fish in it.

Thanks! I first started out with a 1 gallon tank and a goldfish about 10 years ago.

J/K! Felix. LOL!

 

[flexrac]

[fishboyt]

Homeschooled, and mom is pretty relaxed with letting me browse the web every once in a while.

 

[Mark L.]

Man you and Felix both have it made! Ha!

Do you have to cut off the return pump to change the filter sock?

 

[fishboyt]

No, I just pull the two blue hoses (drain lines from the tank) out of the sock. The first sock I put in there clogged up in 4 days.
