I bumped up the flow again......I decided to replace a Koralia 2 I had hidden behind the rockwork with a Tunze 6045.....the K2 is rated at 600gph and the Tunze is rated at 1200gph....I have the Tunze pointed from the back of the tank through an opening in the rock towards the front of the tank....the increase in flow has severely irritated some hairy mushrooms that are in the vicinity

I had a near miss the other day.....I came home from work and looked at the tank for a couple minutes and hit the computer as usual......I sat at the puter for a few and went to the kitchen to get a bevvie....I came back in the living room to find my flame angel on the floor.......my flame angel jumped????? WTF!....Ive never heard of an angel jumping before......anyway, I scooped him up and back in the tank he went......I didnt see him for about an hour and then there he was.....chasing my neon dottyback like nothing had even happened....Whew! I briefly thought about putting him in the sump to give to a friend that probably misses her flame.....but this was the third fish I bought and has been with me for over two years.....

Doug your tank looks freaking amazing. Are you happy with the 110 or do you wish it was larger? Im still looking for that perfect size Aqarium. and still brain storming what i want to set up. my 90 is on its way out the door so ya must decide on what size i want to have.

Thanks man....

I would honestly love to go bigger....my dream tank would be 24"Tx36"Dx96"L (360g)......but alas, I rent

......so this tank is still somewhat manageable to move.....
I say go for length....the first time I saw my regal blast the length of the tank, I was like....I need to go longer!

So I found what I am going with. 48''LX30''Wx20D thats the size that will fit in my office so pretty sure thats what it will be. Now need to find the proper lights for it. do you think the 8 bulb new tek light would work for this?

Amazing how quickly you become attached huh?
The incident has got me thinking hard about the dynamics in the tank....I need to re-home the big boys....the angel has always thought he was the boss of the tank.....and Ive recently seen him challenging my naso.......perhaps that's what happened...the naso is a bit of a turd hisself...maybe he showed the angel who's boss....
