The tank looks amazing as it is, but taking the scrolls out will free up a lot of space. However I do like the look of them and I imagine it will be hard to part with them since you've had them for awhile.

Yeah, the scrolls will hit the buy/sell fourm in a few days, its time.

I'm looking at getting some MP65's.

Thanks,

This happened in my previous tank as well, the yellow tang would graze the side of the power head, and with a high volume of water being drawn in, and their circular body it can spell disaster.
IMO, even a healthy fish would have a hard time trying to free themself, if fully pinned.

so to prevent this from occuring again:

1. clean left hand exposed vortech more frequently

2. added a more central grazing spot

Hey everyone,

it was a good reef day today, I picked up a new coral, and Jay (reefcanada) dropped by to check out the tank and pick up a yellow scroll(thanks), I guess it was too big to fit in his SPS side project, so it made the 200 mixed reef., now i gotta see his tanks, this one piece euro sounds and looks dope.

And a few pics.

new coral from Red Coral pre-order thanks Kevin and Carmen

Sweet pieces !!!

Hey everyone, hope all is well with you.

Its been awhile since I posted an update, work and life has been really busy as of late.

ya know when you start to look at your reef and you want to change it just a bit, well i had that feeling awhile ago, and removed the left and right hand bommies in my tank. So there are a few scattered Sps, soft and LPS corals in those spots now. Photos, of the tank now look very strange, and I am going to try and take a piece of rock from the sump and place it above so it doesnt look so barren.

I have the vortechs set to a wave mode, something I really didnt like at first but its really grown on me, hence the soft corals (kenya tree).

I did some fragging a few weeks back, and an end result was the lose of nearly all my hot pink stylos, I am really not sure why they bleached after fragging as all was inline, so i guess it was that they are a sensitive coral and didnt want to be fragged.

so no new FTS, until I get the live rock back up from the sump. Here a few corals that are going to be removed from my system.

That yellow is off the chart!! Sorry to hear about the stylo's .. that sucks. They're one of my favourite .. too bad they're not that common or hardy apparently.

Hope to one day see this tank in person, or at least a video of it when you're ready.

Do you vacuum your sand?

[shrimpchips]

Is that yellow one a pocilliopora damicornis? It's off the wall!

Looking forward to the FTS - I'm sure you'll figure out something brilliant.
