Don't like the pumps in the display look, but I am almost certain the waters are to tranquil in this tank. So I'll be adding some any way.:letitallo

First pic is from yesterday. 2nd.pic is this morning. Last pic is for those curious as to what is in the right side of tank.

[pnoyreefer]

You telling me you missed hubby's 60" TV? His pride & joy for the longest until now that is. Now he wants a Plasma.

Not that much, plan to leave it nice and open for the fish swimming pleasure!

Pnoy - No corals in this baby. Angels, puffers hence no corals.

 

[JHOV2324]

Oh yeah your son was telling me about his busted hand.....:shhh:

He said that this 300lb guy was attacking this lady so he went to the rescue and the guy picked him up like a baby and threw him like 10 feet away...he got back up and when the guy was going to grab him..ur son poked him in the eyes and punched him in the head...but of course that didnt hurt the big guy so he grabbed your son and started to thumb wrestle him and thats how he hurt his hand.....:p

 

[pnoyreefer]

Sorry I didn't look at the title... Very nice .. are you going to put more rocks or just like that?

 

[Dj Orion]

Awi the tank looks awesome! I wish you the best of luck with it! What types of fish are you planning to put in there? Are you gonna go hostile on me and stock it with puffers and triggers :skull: I have a huge stars and stripes puffer that has outgrown my tank (hint hint) and it really needs a good home (hint hint) call me up!

JHOV, what happened to my son was that he went and punched another wall. He told me he doesn't plan to continue that nonsense. Anger management issues.LOL Gotta be the Colon blood cursing through his vains! My maternal grandfather would beat anyone for the slightest thing.:smoker:

Hi Dj, sorry no more puffers.

The two dwarf angels I plan to add are; Coral Beauty & Tahiti Flame in that order. Unless the angel gurus advice other wise. I wouldn't mind another large angel that would play nice with the Majestic.

And almost forgot, Gotta Have a nice Black Volitan Lion!

Sorry guys! Many thanks for the compliments, although the tank looks a bit crappy right now. And most of the fish are in hiding.

 

[cali_reef]

Did you tried unpluging the return pump to ensure the sump will hold all the back drain?

The reason I ask is your drilled drain is pretty low and your sump looks too small to hold the water.

 

[marki24]

wow that sucker is big now i know where i can go swimming if i get bored of the water in Far Rockaway. Looks nice. I like the island. Always wanted to do it in my tank but that is impossible due to my tank size.

 

[Awibrandy]

I know Cali, ideally I need a 20g.long(which 1eyeJack is housed in temporarily). That wet/dry only holds appx.17g. Once the turtle goes back into the 30g, then I can commandear the 20gl for a better sump.:biggrin:

Mark, my reef is bigger 155 Bow. And my pool is even bigger 8,000g.:flower:

Coral Beauty

Coral Beauty I can save for you I have a good one in my tank.


Black Volitan Lion- I know, I know.

You should totally convert your pool into an aquarium. Think of how many and what kind of fish you can have! Water changes will be a pain, but the rewards.... :bagfish:

 

[lola]

very nice set up

 

[Awibrandy]

Thanks lola,Dmitry. Yeah I could only if I lived in Cali or South Florida.:funnypost

Wingo, you know I'm gonna want that Coral Beauty. I hope you can get the Black Volitan soon. I have never been without one since I started SW. Lion fish is the guilty party in starting me on this addiction.

 

[Awibrandy]

Ok guys/gals I hooked up three small power heads I had laying around, and I don't feel they will do. Besides the fact that they don't have anything to attach them to the glass with. So before I go out and spend the money I figuer I ask for your thoughts and ideas.

I want to get 4 total, since that is what my Wavemaster Pro can handle. What size, brand etc.etc.... do you guys suggest.

 

[Awibrandy]

No recommendations on power heads?

How many gph should they be? Let's remember it is 120 fowlr, and I intend to install 4 of them.
