Interesting tank shape it'll be cool to see it all set up.

Jon, not sure what I am going to do with my rocks yet. I gotta dig them out of that Rubbermaid that has dust on it.

LOL zoaElite! (Is your name Evan?)

Thanks Laurie!

Here are some teaser photo of my Zoas/Palys. Don't mind the cyano in some of the pics...those pics were taken just after Christmas when my tank sitter was overdosing some Zeo additives by accident.

Oh lala! I put water and rock in it! The overflow is running. This is just a teaser post though because I left my camera cord at camp so I can't upload from my camera to my laptop!

I'm not happy with the overflow...the water level in the tank is too high. I'm going to try a smaller pump since the overflow is only 3 1/2" wide - currently have a MaxiJet 1200 running the overflow. I'm hoping a smaller pump will lower the water level enough. It is currently only about 1/2" from the top of the glass. I would prefer it to be about 3/4". The MaxiJet 1200 is about 295 gph, so that is like 15x turnover through the sump. I have a MJ900 (230 gph), a MJ600 (160 gph), or a MJ400 (106 gph) I can try.

I also bought a Hagen Glo 2x24w T5HO fixture for the tank. I don't have any bulbs for it yet so I stole the lights off my quarantine tank to take pics. I will pick up T5s next time I come back to Saskatoon. I ordered a UVL 454 and a UVL Super Actinic from The Reef Shoppe.

I'm thinking I might put seahorses in the tank...not sure yet. I would like to catch the Blue Assessor out of my reef, and put it in this tank, but I can't catch it.

That sucks that you forgot the camera cord, looking forward to pic.'s when you get it back. Hopefully you can get the overflow under control and get the water level to were you like it.

Also it was very nice to meet you at Blue World when you where here a week (or so) ago. I enjoyed chatting with you
