I wish I had a better camera! I got some more live rock today approx. 85 lbs so I have close to 110 lbs now. Found two crabs and three snails also I think there may be some aiptasia at the top of the back rock which is cool I got those two heaters in my tank trying to get my tank to proper temperature I got two 100 watt submersibles and a 250 watt submersible. I am most likely going to move both of my heaters down below after I get the tank to temperatures.

Took some new pictures of my tank last night, having some brown diatom issues very minor, now that I got some Hydor Korolia 4's. There is lots more circulation. Had my berlin sock back up and had a gallon of water on the floor ahhhh the pleasures of learning. Got some cool christmas tree worms they a doing very well considering the brown diatom.

Hey there...nice set up!

Looking at pics of your sump I noticed 2 ABS 90's on your returns. I believe ABS is a no no in the aquarium world.....am I right fellow reefers?

Nice fishes! I love tangs (and tanks big enough to keep them in).

I've seen ABS used occasionally, I've never heard of there being a problem?

From my understanding all Powerheads, and Mag Pumps are made of ABS plastic. ABS does not handle pressure well though.
