I concur, it looks absolutely fabulous.

Thanks,

I can see the imperfections and mistakes. But for my first project of the sort, I'm happy how it turned out. It gave me something to work on while the tank was settling out.

That is a nice piece of furniture. You may see the imperfections in it. But I sure don't.

After about 8 weeks in QT, I moved my PB Tang and some clowns into the display. A few flared fins with the other tangs, but so far everyone is behaving.

Looks very nice. And if you need to relocate that Powder blue I have a place for it

Well, starting to see that my DSB in my sump is going to be hard to keep clean. So, I'm going to try the RDSB in a bucket. Had to buy some black PVC tubing, otherwise its all stuff that I had. Here it is before I put the lid on to seal it up.

I'm going to build a small stand for it, otherwise the salt bucket is doing a fine job.

Rose City in Richmond had one like that, But they used Bio-balls. Did you put a Plenum in the bottom of bucket?

Just a bucket of sand. The goal is to move water across the top of the sand, but hopefully nothing settles on the surface of the sand. This is only supposed to be the denitrifying portion of my filtration. Hopefully the 5 gallon bucket has enough surface area. Also, if it were to become fouled......just unhook the hoses and go clean the sand outside, without risk of contaminating the tank.

Yeah; Rose City ended up with problems in the tank they hooked up like that. It was the boiballs, after several months.

Very nice setup Paul!

Great build thread. Let me know how your grow out does using LED's.

I would like to go that rout but I'm apprehensive to leave my MH VHO setup.

Cheers

And Since the frags are just too small to see, here are a few.

Great pics.

Lovely frags, and they appear to have plenty of room to grow and fill in!!

lazylivin · « **Reply #223 on:** November 25, 2012, 00:09:32 »

Looking good Paul

Love that tank! Look forward to seeing it fill in.
