Did you sell your big tank? What kind of fish are you planning on putting in this one?

Slick Fork · #2 07-08-2010, 05:29 PM

still no firm plans on how to stock this one yet, a goby or two for sure. I think I'd kinda like a whole bunch of tiny fish darting around and being active rather then a few larger ones

looking good you cam put some egg crate on the cutout with the use of silicone. you can also reinforce the overflow box side with some 1/3" glass and silicone it to the glass that is there That would help with stress or in the event you have any micro fractures they should not run.

Looking good Chris, if you are worried about the back of the tank and the weight of the OF a eurobrace would be your best insurance better safe then sorry

.

If all goes well your stand will be built and painted tomorrow.

It's nice to see you decided to go with the larger sump... firefish like to dart around a bit... maybe a few of those with some little gobies like some of the prawn or shrimp gobies. Maybe a small school of 5 chromis. Just some suggestions

I'm not an expert with skimmers but I have heard people having success with having 4-12 hours on the skimmer.

That's awesome! What do you drink? I think a bottle or case might be in order

I did order the glass for just a rear eurobrace. Like you said, better safe than sorry and at only an inch it doesn't take up a whole lot of real-estate.

I had a firefish before and he was pretty cool, definitely on my short list. Don't think Chromis are though. My wife is gunning for an anenome and clowns though so we'll see!

I would probably get both a pair of clowns and a small school of Chromis of some kind like the sunshine in the pic below. Or some other smaller schooling fish. The problem with say a Cardinal is that they tend to not move around much but Chromis tend to dance around the tank. Especialy if you have 1 of the smaller algae eating tangs to help them to dance a little.
