what do you have for daily weekly and monthly matanince after 2 years? as i heard that the older it is the more self sustained it is

[makana]

so the canister wont even be usefull with diff media in it? will i needthe canister at all if i got the powerhead, or is it possible to turn the canister into a refugium?

If you have enough flow from the powerheads you don't need the canister. Since you have it though there are probably some articles floating around on how to mod it into a fuge. You could also toss some carbon in it when needed.

well i got good news and bad. ,good is that my cycle was almost done and bad new is when i tried to "modify" the brace it broke BIG mistake. I did however want to change the suger sand stuff to a more course live sand like http://www.bigalsonline.ca/BigAlsCA/...ckreefsand20lb so it was a good thing. i checked aquagiant in edmonton, SS store said NS store does custom bracing. thinking of getting a glass brace put in, mabey a small eurobrace / center brace idk though calling tomorrow see whats possible. 2 weeks from now should have tank fixed, sand in, filled, cycling and get fish and coral in no time. Just a little setback BUT i do have some pics. but i got plans for the top to have a tab inside the tank, for the lid thats in the pics to sit on. once its all set up i think it will be a great tank to look at.
oh and i know its in front of the window but were getting a heavy black drape to hang and sealing that window for the winter. while i had it running temp was stable even after it snowed no flucuations.

So i got a price quote on the glass brace install and its 30 bucks. went to blueworld today, nice place a bamboo shark just hatched. going to get some indo pacific black live sand ordered in. i want a tank with some lps, bubble, hammer, brain, is my current 4x39w T5HO (single reflector i think, idk if that matters) good enough to house them.

I have the same tank,sumpless,4x39watt T5HO nova extreme,I currently house,squamosa clam,frogspawn,green star polyps,bubble coral,toadstool leather and 3 different kinds of mushrooms,had them all under pc lighting for almost 2yrs until I upgraded my lighting.

well that is what i want to hear :P i want bubble, frog, brain and a couple sps plus my current fish list is in the order i want them Dragon goby, 3-6 months later since i need to get my sump/refugium built then ill get a red scooter blenny, then 2 clowns with a bubble tip, and last flame angel open to suggestions. been reading flame angels are prone to nipping coral anyone have comments on that.
