well i accumulated in a small container with a slow drip so the water replaces 100% a little faster and did it for about 30 slow then 15 trickle so it seams really good, just 30 seconds ago found him eating a pod :p

also not sure if there the left handed on or all the same i think they are as i just got them to pick a few out of there tank :p

You can run but you can't hide, we will hunt you down:twised:x2

:biggrin::lol::twised::twised:More pic's:boink:

seriously was that not enough to hold you over for like two days cmon!

tank is looking good chase. what kind of light you runnin on that?

a single 20K 150W MH and two T5-HO actinic (one blue, one purple)

looking to change to a 10K MH and two blue actinics

nice is that a fish-need-it fixture? have you tried the 14k bulb?

no its a CAD i purchased of a fellow reefer it also has built in led moonlights :D

haven't tried any lights besides the 20K MH looking for a really white one....

oh right on, im a fan of the more blue light, makes the colors pop more in my eyes. well it looks pretty good dude good work. keep it up

im also a fan of the blue but i thought if the MH was white the actinics would create the blue i want?

i know with my 250w mh and my dual pc actinics there isnt much diff with mine. the pc's imo dont do much in my tank till the halide goes out. i have a 14k in there right now but i want to go with something more blue. if there was one between 14 and 20 id get it. i just need to replace all my bulbs to know whats gonna work best

well there was a really nice 14K at AI i was looking at for $85 i was thinking about :P

thats a pretty good price i think.

Still need more PICTURES!!!!

And yes that is a Candy Cane.

i know its a candy cane lol

and whats this? a candy cane? :D

Hows that overflow treating ya? was it hard to figure out flow rates for your return pump?

the overflow was pretty much plug and play, added a ball valve to the overflow to quiet it down, that overflow is rated for about 600GPH and my pump is only around 300-400GPH so its not hard, thats why i have the ball valve just turned a fraction

This morning i put my hand into the tank to play with one of the corals and my cleaner shrimp came out and felt me a bit with his feelers then started to eat off my hand :P

Unless you have an emergency overflow, I would not restrict your drain at all in case your drain somehow gets clogged. This happens and many people have had floods because of this. There are other ways to quiet the drain down. Search durso, or stockman standpipes. These are a couple of ways to quiet the drains down without restricting the drain. (Just don't want your mother ticked off about the hobby cause of a flood on her floor :biggrin:)

lol im not to worryed as the ball valve is only turned 1/8th of an inch from the fully open position otherwise it makes a really loud sucking noise

the problem with restricting the overflow at all with a ball valve, is that if something like a snail or fish or anything large enters your overflow pipe it well get caught on the ball valve and then block or restrict the overflow.
Without an emergency overflow to then take the rest of the flow, your return pump will drain your sump, overfill your tank, flood your parents house and possibly burn out (from running dry) your return pump.

it has a strainer and a sponge on it

hopefully i wont get anyone poking me with these :p (you know who you are)
