Nice photos. Your tank is very unique and interesting. I was wondering if when you have some time, you can snap some photos of the mangrove set up and your equipment set up for me. I would love to see it.
Thanks Rich, it was pretty hard to see him die I wont be trying another thats for sure. I will snap some shots shortly of the filtration systems for you.

In the mean time here are some new photos, sorry Canreef I'm kind of a bandawidth piggie .

Here is the current sump configuration, the main tank drains into both the sump and mangrovefugium while the fuge only flows back to the sump. We will be plumbing a frag tank some time shortly.

In additon to the fish deaths we lost half our mangroves in the transfer, these things REALLY dont like to be moved.
