Bignose's 95G reef

Our tanks are very similar indeed I have the dual return on the sides of my overflow as well but after a while I just took off the lockline and nozzles becuase they got in the way more than anything.

Ok here are some more pictures.


Candy Canes left one is orange/green and right one should eventually be pink.


Leathers don't know the ID of these yet.


Orange/green Candy Cane and Crocea Clam I think (girlfriends but I paid for it)

I'm starting to figure out Adobe Photoshop. I'm adjusting my pictures now and they are starting to look better. It's funny how reefing is starting to improve my picture skills. Never seen this coming.

Now I need to find some SPS.

Nice coral scores. Looks good. To soon for a clam tho imho.

Thanks for the compliment. I asked before I bought the clam if it would be ok and he said yes. I'm not going to name the store but it is a reputable store. I'll hope for the best because it was expensive.
On a different note this is where the hobby started for me. Here is a couple pictures of my 10 gallon nano.


This is when I had this tank in its prime. You can see in the back it was skimmerless


When I moved the tank crashed and it never recovered I lost almost all my coral.

So I thought to myself start a NEW TANK!! It all started with a thought to upgrade to a 30 then a 55 then a 75. One day a 95 showed up on Canreef.

I made the drain pipe for my herbie overflow but when I installed it it made a loud sucking sound. I put a piece of tubing down the hole and it got rid of the sound but it goes through my valve. How would I get rid of this sound?

Without it I have the water level close to the top of the overflow with no sound.

what's wrong with the level near the top of the overflow as long as the secondary is dry? Up high there's less noise from the water spilling into the chamber.

I only wanted it so there was less water draining into the sump if the power went out. I've tested for power outs and I have no sump overflow problems so I scrapped the idea.

[Rbacchiega]

huh. Most people use Herbie's to quiet down their systems, especially if they are in living rooms or bedrooms. I have one tank that isn't set up as a Herbie and although it isn't THAT noisy, it's still noisier than my other tanks...and it's a little annoying LOL

[digital-audiophile]

I've actually got to bring up my emergency drain as I get too much water drop and some spalshing, the only problem is I did an anti syphon loop in the return so I need to deconstruct a little bit.. and as you know with your tank its a PITA!

While researching what to do yesterday I did find my missing baby regal tang.. he is sitting DOA at the bottom of the overfglow with no way to really get the corpse out.. I guys I just need to let the family of brisyle worms in the overflow do their work.
