Some details:
- 115g cube (30"x30"x30")
- single 250W DE pendent, 14k lamp
- tunze 6100 with singlecontroller for flow
- Rio svt something-or-other for sump return (I don't remember anymore )
- dual overflows, with a T off to feed a ASM G3 mod'd for recirc
- About 60lbs of rock, 60 lbs of sand.
- Have had the ritteri anemone for nearly 5 years now.

Looks great Tony. Are you going to put any clowns in ?

Eventually. I had a pair of ocellaris in there that were displaced when the anemone was moved. They moved into a carpet for now and I kind of like it better with them in there instead -- they can be seen now whereas before they were the incredible invisible fish. I'm thinking a pair of akindynos or chrysopterus would be nice in this setup -- but I'm not sure how hard it is to find any of those.

Well this may end up being the shortest lived tank setup I've ever had.



I'm not sure if this is a scratch that I hadn't noticed before, or if it's a crack that has appeared today. It runs 3/4 the length of the tank smack in the centre of the rear panel. I can't get a close enough look at it. I cannot feel anything with my finger. Where I've circled the line, there is a discontinuity that makes me *very* concerned that this is a crack and not a scratch.

I don't know what to do. For now I've marked the end of the scratch line. If it grows, then I know it's a disaster waiting to happen. If it doesn't .... well then I'm still not sure what to do.

OMG, the luck you have Tony, I tells ya. What a nightmare! So its on the back panel of the tank? I wonder if there is any way of stopping it? It isn't leaking at all is it??

Could you please post a pic of the T and plumbing into the skimmerand maybe one of the mod to the ASM... as I am thinking of doing the same.
My only worrie about this mod is I will only have one 1 1/2" bulkhead in the overflow returning ~ 1000GPH.
Thanks,
Dan
EDIT just saw the above post... hope its a scratch ... sorry to hear that though
