Of the four pipes one is completely shut off with a ball valve. The second is partially shut off with another ball valve then with the third one I have a gate valve to tweak the herbie. Then of course the fourth is an emergency drain.

I already sold it.

I started this thread a while back and figure its time to update things. The biggest disappointment was the achilles not making it. The others tangs stressed him out too much and he never had a chance to settle in. A couple months ago I added a purple tang my cousin wanted me to have when he shut down his tank. He get along just fine with everyone, wish I could have said the same about the achilles. Other recent additions include a tailspot blenny, long nose hawk as well as numerous corals. Here are a couple pictures of some new toys as well as some decent livestock pics.

Looking forward to this frag growing out.

What lights are you using at the moment?

3 x 250W DE Ushio 14k with 22K and actinic T5. The pics look at little dark but I find the coral colors to be pretty accurate. I have always had a hard time getting decent pics.
