I wish I have room for a tank like yours. Once the tank gets filled with all your favorite corals and fish this tank will look awesome!

Wish I had the space, time, energy & $$ to upgrade mine to a 300g display but that's just not in the works.

Looking forward for updates in the future.

Thanks Anthony, it doesn't cost as much it seem if you spread it over a couple yrs to build like I did. As for the "PATIENCE" thing, I have none and have a few things on the way for the tank today.

Its really looks great now that all my fish are in, even the engineer goby that usually hides all the time is out and swimming.

So now I have the 165 dismantled I was able to get the chiller all cleaned up. Built the manifold off the middle pump on the right end of the sump to feed the chiller & 3 reactors. I don't like the look of the vinyl hose but it will have to do for now until I get something better figured out.

Chiller & 2 out of 3 reactors running, GFO & Carbon.

Now that is different! The spawns/hammers get along like that?

Generally you can have Frogspawn, Hammer, and Torch touching as they are all the same family.

I have a bunch in one spot in my tank and they all touch, but I do notice that my Torch occasionally causes issues with the others.

what do you think of the skimmer so far?

They are actually one piece, they grew together. I have had Hammers/Frog/Octospawns in big bunches before without issue.
