I hope I won't have the urge to change tanks again soon.

This is the biggest tank i've ever had.

I love the all in one systems, because they are clean looking and easy to operate.

You need to take Seabreeze up on her offer for some pointers on how to run and maintain your tank, really! Have her send you a pic of her tank and you'll understand. She'd be tank of the month/quarter easy if only she posted some pics

LOL gonna need to owe you a frag for that Hung LOL

Pic to come when I figure out how to post it LOL

One thing I do suggest (RSM reps please close your eyes and cover your ears) ...change out the skimmer. I went for the Deltec MC500. You only need to do a very tiny adjustment to fit it in. Did it myself and you couldn't notice anything. Picked it up from J&L.

Much much better skimmer if you plan on SPS

There's a few clips on youtube... here's one

Any yes a bit of a vinegar soak will get everything looking like new

hey Cousin Ken!
You need to post pictures of your 500 gallon tank out in Campbell River.
The links in your website do not work for the tank.

I need to drive out there to see ya sometime!

The tank has been up and going for almost a month now.
I have a bit of algae bloom on the sand. (Brown parts)

I bought 12 astrea snails and 10 blue leg hermits for clean up to add to the 4-5 other hermits i had remaining.

I hope they help!

Not much of a tank update.
I picked up some dry rock from Rishu Pepper a few weeks back. The rock is in a heated, cycling bucket in my garage. I Will wait a week or so more to work on adding the rocks to my set up.

I just wanted to show off a new addition to the tank.
I put an order in for this little Rainford Goby about 3 months ago. They finally had one in stock last week. He was visable for 2 days, then went MIA for 3 days. I thought he was dead.



I love his colours and how he picks at rocks and sand all day.
I hope he'll find enough food to stay healthy because he didn't go for the mysis i feed the other guys.

Seabreeze, yes please post photos! I would love to see the tank.
i would love to get a deltec, but I'm not willing to spend the $ on it yet. Its definitely not cheap!

One thing I have noticed is that there is a lot of evaporation. i need to buy an ATO soon.

Is Tunze the only way to go?
Anyone use the JbJ ATO?

Or other brands?
