looking nice bro - looks like everything moves around till they find the right spot.
You could use a nice clam.

 

[masterswimmer]

Looking very very nice.

How long have you had the flame scallop? They are an extremely difficult bi-valve to keep successfully in a reef tank. I hope you have more luck than most.

I usually try to find the sweet spot for everything when I see them happily opening up and flourishing i leave them put.
Scarface: from thousand island aquariums on utica and ave N.
What tube anemone?
Alhra:What clam?

hey bk did ur acropora on the right in the picture come with a porcelin crab?

 

[tozebeach]

Type of LR?

Nice tank! It seems like a very cost-effective way to start up (compared to buying skimmer, HOB refugium, lights, etc). I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of LR you ordered from Premium Aquatics? Is it Marshall Island? Thanks.

 

[Cshradr7]

I've been following this post for a long time now and have had the same question about which rock you ordered. I ordered this same tank last wednesday and am still awaiting its arrival. I'm debating whether or not to get the Marshall Island rock from PA or the Nano Rock. (much cheaper) How many LBS did you put in the main tank and the fuge?
Thanks
Colin

 

[bklynreef]

Pinoy: It should be $450 at PA

RGM: how did you know a porcelin crab came with it. I didnt even know and I spotted him a few days ago by accident.

Tozevbeach & Cshradr: I bought 30 LBS of the nano marshall island rock from PA. Very nice rock might I add. Lots of holes and crevices.
I also bought for the refugium from indo pacific sea farms their 9 for $99 deal. Rock rubble, cheato, calurpa, red tang heaven, ampiphods & copapods, sand clams, mico hermits,wonder mud ect. This kicked the crap into my system and was like nitrous oxide for the reef system. i used only live rock and live sand. My system never got a spike, I just had to wait about 2-3 weeks before adding the indo pacific stuff. In my fuge I just filled it with the rock rubble, wonder mud, and the cheato, calurpa, ect. I did not put any sand in the fuge just the wonder mud. There was tons of life in there crawling around. make sure you adjust the flow in the fuge to a minimal, just enough to get some movement in there.

I'm hoping that you can answer a quick question for me. I am going to make a stand for my tank just like that which i ordered and havent recieved yet. I'm wondering if you can take some measurments for me so that i dont mess up the size of the foot print. When looking at pictures of the tank i noticed that the frame sticks out slightly from where the glass is. Can you please measure the legnth of this black frame piece and also the width of it also? I dont know if the 24 L x 18 W includes this framing or not. Thanks a ton
