Fishytimes 68g reef

Ignore the tang police.

Besides, everyone here is mature enough to know if a fish is thriving in their tank anyway; I say go for it

.

IME, an overhang is more easily achieved with piled rocks at an angle and having one piece dedicated as the "umbrella". Since your PVC provides the structure already, you're in awesome shape and just need to lightly fill in the holes around the overhang.

Post more pictures soon.

Ok the contents of the 20g FINALLY made it into the 68g. Thought I'd have more room for new coral additions, but between what was in the 20g and what was is my frag tank, I didnt end up with much extra room at all.Have that new tank algae bloom happening in these pics , so you all will have to look past that. any questions, comments or critiques are welcomed. Tell me what you guys think.

That's looking really good Doug. Glad it's all coming together! How're the freshwater additions doing?

Looks good Doug but you've already outgrown it.

I keep telling you to take the plunge with that 72" tank of yours.

Its been almost a couple months since I swapped tanks and the corals finally seem to be REALLY settled now(polyps extending fully, etc, etc).I picked up a couple new fish to help fill things in a bit.So in the tank now are 1 ocellaris clown, 1 six line wrasse, 1 royal gramma, 1 flame angel, 1 bi-color angel, and a yellow tang ( I know but hes just wee now so I figure I have a year or two before I need to either move him or upgrade tanks). So a few random recent shots. Now Im gonna barracade myself in my safe room and wait for the tang police to come a knockin.

I have made the decesion to put in a sump. Been slowly gettin all the parts together. Gonna use a cpr 102 overflow with aqualifter, a quiettone 6000 return and a 33g tank for the sump. My family was good to me this xmas and gave me some cash to get some corals. Got a couple millis Green and pink, a robins egg blue stag, and a pocillipora damicoris all from Greg(snappy). Some monti cap "frags" from dannyz( thanks again). From golds I picked up a nice acan and superman monti frags.Also added one last fish to the mix...a copperband butterfly. So far it appears to be all good with him and the only thing in the tank I am worried about so far is the feather duster.It has had a couple "feathers" plucked and has spent the last couple days hiding.Will add pics soon ...just realized I havent uploaded them yet
