Awesome work Justin! A lot cleaner than before! What size of vinyl tubing are you using? It looks pretty small. Just make sure it can handle your return flow.

What happened to your desk?

Its 1", same as the output of the pump. Usually I have used 1.5" PVC with this pump but I couldn't find any vinyl bigger than 1". It was fine during the test, so I don't see why it would be a problem.

Maybe I should find bigger vinyl?

My desk is on the other side of the room now. I will put together a 360 degree view of the room once the lights come on.

Few pictures with the lights on. I would say about half the coral browned after the move Hopefully the color will come back with time and good water. Oh and ZEO of course...I know that will help get this thing looking good again!

The newest additions.

First a Goby. Not named yet but I think we have narrowed it down to a few.



And...A Copperband from a member here (Johncody). I wasn't going to try another until I found one that I was more certain was not cyanide caught but when he told me hes had it for a while and its eating well, I couldn't resist. It really is a healthy fish. Eats Nori even! Very friendly little guy. He was nipping my hand last night when I was moving things around in the tank

Hahaha....yeah its just a wave from the wavebox. Man that would suck if the best I could do with leveling the stand was that. Actually it would suck even more if my floors sloped that much!

I am getting about a 1.5" wave right now.

I actually got it up to about 2" but felt that was a little too big...yes I know how that sounds

Eats nori even! Wow, awesome!

And that's a freakish wave dude, serious wow, what can I say, man it looks awesome. Does the wave get any interference from the other powerheads?
