Added a vertex in-100 skimmer today (Thanks Red Coral) after reading the reviews on WWM by Bob Fenner. This thing is huge, had to revamp my sump a little by removing a baffle and making a stand for the 8" water level as my usual level is 11 inches.

Also bought a small purple crocea clam at RC while I was in Calgary visiting.


Will add more pics prob. tonight or tomorrow.

My inverts (corals, nems) have really taken off since I upgraded to this 70.

for a bit of safety id throw a hoseclamp on that return line where it stitches to the black hose, cause you know that hose will get hard and end up popping off when your not home

Was at J&l yesterday and picked up a few new additions.

Bought a small orchid dotty. (whos made friends with my hi-fin goby)
A tail spot blenny,
Emerald crab to help out with my bubbles.

In another post I asked about the Powder Brown tang. After much deliberation and reserch, (and the fact they were the only tang J&L had) I decided to get a small one.

Not even 15 min after going into the display he was out swimming with the clowns and sixline. Being worked over by the cleane shrimp,(ich free so far)And eating like crazy! Absolutly gorgeous fish. Will keep ya'll updated on his progress..

Also grabbed some PE mysis, and frozen formula 2

As for the Vertex, Im impressed. Its producing about 2 cups of skim a week (that will increase with the new additions). Fairly quiet, easy to clean, and I like the drain port feature.

Will post pix when I get em.

Its pretty small right now. About 1" but it's making the odd appearence. Staying on one side of the tank and only seems scared of the clown fish, the other fish dont scare it. He's swimming in and out of holes in the rock I didnt even know were there.
