Thanks , Ya the fish will think they hit the lottery with all that swimming room

Good Job, Jon! Almost there! :biggrin:

Once the corals fill in the rock work is gonna look so purty!

thanks bud .

I totally forgotten how much work it was to set up a new tank. Every time i turn around the list of to do's keeps growing..

today the wife and I , Built a new screen top, with acrylic lids on each corner.
We Incorporated a Nori feeding rod that slides into one of the lids from the top. Now i can feed nori without getting my damn hands wet. I was really tired of the TLF algae clip.(hated it )

Anyone ever put any coral in there overflow box ?
I need to ditch my torch coral as it is clearly killing my second clown fish. Wife thought that maybe we could put it in the overflow

Jon, good job on the screen and I really like that feeder door you made! Excellent ideal! Guess I should just get you do mine. :biggrin:

Great job on the screen and I guess it is ready for some fish tomorrow.

Just glue your torch to the back glass. Thats what I did, looks cool and keeps it away from everything else :mrgreen:

The issue is , our clown fish is hosting in the torch. He is slowly being stung to death. He is covered in black sting marks. He will occasionally get swollen areas too. We used to have 2 clowns. But came home one day to find the clown sucking on a torch tentacle. He was dead a few days later.

So I need to move the torch out of the tank. Or try the overflow box

Can you get him an anemone to host in?

My clowns host in my torch, no stinging. Maybe it's something else?

I had two clowns that hosted a torch. They did get lots of black marks however they lived a long and healthy life.

Are there any other signs of bad health? Or just the black marks?
