Thanks Terry, yes I am planning to use three for now, but it could go to four, I am very undecided.

Aquascape is nice and low...hope you grow out some massive colonies.

And where on earth did you get those cutters?!

well they are preforming pretty well, just ask the sand bed, lol.

in my previous tank, i had 3 vortechs on full gas 24/7

this time around with the open areas of the tank, i turned them to be on sync and anti sync reef crest mode, i have found this way I am still getting the flow I need and the sand is not blowing a storm.

I do think that when I start to stock thing up with coral, I could return the setting to full gas as the flow will be reduced with all the colonies.

and I got the cutters from a green house in the Bowness area about a year ago. Support the cause.

I am sure Doug knows the name of it, as thats his neck of the woods.

John looks awsume so far. So open & neat. Whats the time frame before adding the stock ? Maybe some fish first ?

[lobsterboy]

I can add the first fish on tuesday, and a few non sensitive SPS.

the cycle has started slowly, only today there is signs of diatoms.

The skimmer also came into check today, and its already pulling out thick foam.

my girl friend and myself had the pleasure of seeing this amazing set up in person today and i will say daaaaaamnnnn extremly clean set up and i am very excited to see it when all the coral is back in and what john does with this. good job buddy.

p.s tks for the rock

With all that white sand, id consider a sandsifter goby for your 1st fish.

[lobsterboy]

well the first fish was not a sand sifter, it was two clowns that orginally came from Cory (alberta reefer) they had been at Teatro for the past while and i had recently caught them to bring them home.

I have since added a few SPS, a zoa frag and a toad stool leather frag.

and my two fungia plates.

all seem to be doing well, polyp extenison is great, color is still a bit bland after all the moves which was totally expected as well the algae bloom, haha.

Nice fishys, let me know when you would like your 6 line back.
He likes my smaller tank, but he would love to be back in yours.
