Oh yeah, it's going to take awhile to fill all those nice fragging spots. I see you got the Pyramids. How are they doing?

Great aquascaping Brad, those islands ended up turning our really nicely. Should make for an outstanding SPS tank, any idea on a final stocking list yet?

Agree about the balance between swimming and coral space that's going to turn out nice.

Looking sweet Brad! Didn't you learn anything from the last clownfish you had in the 150?

That was a tomato, and yes, I will never have one of those again!! Stupid fish, I hated that thing.

Thanks. No idea on final fish list yet, but I may have a Naso coming when she gets herself caught, and my GF wants some red fish

I have five Pyramids, so they'll hopefully be the fish centre piece..

Corals will be mostly SPS, although I have a torch and a hammer, and may add a few more LPS for movement.

Looks nice. You make me want to redo all my aquascaping though, so, I hate you. Er, I mean .. it looks nice.

Notice you're using Suregrip magnets to mount the Tunzes. How come not the Tunze magnets themselves? Do you find that they give you more degrees of freedom for aiming?

I like them more because they're smaller, while still strong enough. One of them has come apart over two years' use, but the dry/wet sides are interchangeable, so I should get another 2 years out of it.

What model Tunzes are those? Planning anything else for flow or will that be good enough you figure?

Aquattro · #10 12-15-2010, 06:27 AM

They're both 6100s on a 7095 controller. Combined with the return pump (outlet each side of the overflow), I figure it's enough until growth gets more full. It's the same set up I used in my 150 with good results.
