that piece was added so he could add a piece across the top so a fan could fit in there and attach to the bar that heads behind the tank

Don't jump to fast to sell your setup bud, it can't be that expencive to run. Switch to IO Reef Crystal for salt, it's cheaper & a bucket should last you a good amount of time.

its between two hobbies this or hunting, and those pups in your yard would be a great retrieving dog.

I think it looks great

As for the anemone the tank is still young I was told that its tough to keep nems in younger tanks

UPDATE - well i didnt sell and good thing some stuff died.
anemone is dead clown fish past away. i have 4 pieces of birdnest
brown with neonreen polyps bleached all for a tip which is doing well
pink which is slowly dying
i think another neon green one but polyps dont pop as much but its doing GREAT!
i raised it for the second time and upped the diming to over 50 percent and the polyps are doing the best ive seen yet the are loving it.

i also adjusted rock work to give me more space for rock placement and less of a big shaded cave. ill add some pictures later.

GRIZZ what is your high point light levels at?

Man that looks fantastic! Love the rimless look and the live rock you have. I did notice that you are using the same overflow as I am! One thing I have found that will massively increase the capacity of that overflow is to put a T at the bottom and instead of having one open pipe, have two. One is lower and is your main overflow, and the other you put at your max level and is your emergency overflow. Using 1.5" PVC I put through about 1,300Gal/hr without any issues at all. I could easily handle more.

The other thing I do is put an aqualifter at the top where it goes over the rim of the tank and then back into the overflow pipe. It sucks out any bubbles that might get in there and really helps with sleeping at night. With the double overflow, you really need to make sure your pump can handle it as to little flow will cause it to suck air.

Love the tank! Thanks for the pics! =D
