Are you saying that your puffer is reef safe ?
I am shutting down my FOWLR. I like to keep my puffer but I am not sure if its a good idea to move it to the reef tank.

Fkshiu – I’ve only had it a week or so. It has not come on yet since my tank generates so much heat, I only need heaters in the dead of winter. I also cut the heater element of a won bothers and put a three prong plug on it and plugged it into the Aquamedic so that may alter it’s performance.

Van-rookie – They are not RS but I took a chance that he would not nip at the corals and I lucked out. He leaves the hermits alone but has gone through all my snails.

Hello,

Very nice my friend.

Well it's been a year since I started this thread and I figure a good time to give a update. The tank is just over two years old now so here is a pic from Jan 06,07 & 08.







I have to do a scrape of the sides and back and will be changing a few things so hopefully in the next few weeks I will get some better pics up.

Nice changes! I'm really impressed.

I keep getting confused between this thread and your thread on RC!\

In regards to the lighting is it all just changes in bulbs between the years?

[cprowler]

Yeah it can get a bit confusing when people have threads on both

Yes it has changed, a few months ago I changed the VHO to T5. I forgot I have not updated this thread with the lighting change. I hope to tonight sometime. So the lighting on the first two are the same and the last is the new combination.

Here are some pic's to compare the new lighting, all T5 - 5x54w & 1x39w. Instead of the 4 vho and 2 T5's supplementing the MH's. It looks better in person, I need to adjust the white balance. As I mentioned I will be doing some other changes and will update them in a few weeks when I get them completed.
