Great for the update.

For your CSD, how's it for putting bubbles in the display?

Hi Mark,
Not so bad, I'd say. It drains at the surface so I think that helps. I tried putting the outflow lower in the tank but the back pressure wouldn't allow for a complete syphon break. I'll add a video of it down the road.

Here are some more Fauna shots (sorry, I'm a lousy photographer)

This is a Staghorn sculpin



and some Three spine sticklebacks




An Aggregating anenome



and this is my sun star. Keeping one of these was the inspiration for this whole set up. I'm afraid he is raiding the cookie (mussel) jar.



So far all of the Fauna has taken readily to frozen mysis, bloodworms and clam meat as well as phytoplankton, rotifers and cyclopeez for the barnacles and mussels.

awesome...
can you post some more pics of the whole set up?
I'd also love to see a video or more pics of your sunstar.
really cool and original set up man.
props.

Thanks Whatigot.
Rather than reposting pics, here is the link to our thread on RC (the pics should start on the last page):

amazing tank! i'm actually looking to do something similar although not quite as big since i don't have the room, but i'm thinking of a 30-40g with a diy mini fridge chiller, but what is there for bio filtration? i'm sure live rock wouldn't do at all in those temperatures, i think i would have to theme mine around a few abalone to match the 9 holes in my reef, love those guys!! but any tips at all would be awesome its hard to find too much info... i was thinking on my next trip to the coast i could just scoop a couple buckets of sand and a few rocks
