Doug,
Looks great so far, also is that a coral covered bottle at the middle section of the reef?
I really like some of the shapes of that rock

Thats correct about logging on to the gallery guys. Thanks Sam, I never though that was the problem.

The tank is a 75g. 30in.L by 24in.H by24in.W

Yes Jack, its new. I will post a pic of the new empty tank tomm. {Must go to the big city today. } Its lit with a 400w Radium, powered by a Bluewave pulse start ballast.

The contents are whats left from the 225g, which is sold. I only kept sps corals and for fish, my green chromis, the old fat mandarin, the large female clarkii, {which is from a friends tank where my cinnamon pair now reside}, and a home born baby bangaii, raised in the 225,s overflows.

Doug, you will never see any debris on the bottom of that tank. There is current from the two Hagen 800 ph returns, the powerfilter, and a Tunze 6080 stream pump, {I even had them both running at one time. }.

Yepper, thats an old coralline covered bottle. Found it in an lfs several years ago. Except for the large queen conch shell on the bottom right, the rest is all Fiji rock. I do have a piece or two of some old Florida rock I have had for about 13 yrs. The piece on the bottom left, with the brown digita is one of them. The bottom has some beautiful old sponge growth.

I will take a pic of it all for you Steve. Its about 34in.L by a ft. wide. by 9in.H . Please nobody ask for detailed measues and pics. I wish nothing to do with all the lawsuits that went on in the US, regarding this type of scrubber.

I can barely read that one Doug. FWIW, my son and I had three different Rio pumps fail, back in the mid 90,s.

Steve, without getting into it, there was a suit involving the use of Adey,s turf scrubber patents. There were several threads on RC about it. Perhaps a search under ATS, on Erics forum may bring one of them up.

and my thanks to you Arty for the video post. You will have to show me how you did that someday.

Here is the new tank being put into place.

Cool system Doug.

Glad to see you were sane enough not to get into that Rio debate, lol
