what kind of skimmer u runnin on that? are you using the flow directional thing on both of those k3's? i think those k3's are fine for that 40br tank, i guess just depends on the placement...

noelskii i'm using a nautilus TE right now and upgrading to the octopus nw-150. the koalias do not have the concentrators because with them they were pushing to much sand around. as of now i have them in good placement nice flow and no sand storm.

Rich thats a Crayola i got from Jhale it was much darker when i got it. Not sure why its color changed but id be lying if i said i didn't like it.

After seeing the tank yesterday. With the amount of room you gave the sps corals to grow will make it an awesome tank in the near future. Those t-5 lights you got are so bright I thought you were using metal halide lighting.

 

[ssmtcarlo]

NOPE no MH just tek 6 bulb and its not overdriven either.

I have to give mad props to Leo and the guys at naCL-H2O for the excelent job drilling the tank and the cap for my durso. THANK YOU. As well as my soon to come Octopus NW-150.

nice job Mat, just be careful with that sump, try not to drop anything since it cracks easy, I have first hand experience, I was cleaning the return pump. good news is, its readily available at any Walmart

 

[ssmtcarlo]

Damn that would suck. I had to ditch my glass 20 gal high sump cuz i couldn't get everything to fit right. this is wider and everything fits perfect. ill be very careful thanks for the warning.
