thanks bud .

I totally forgotten how much work it was to set up a new tank. Every time i turn around the list of to do's keeps growing..

today the wife and I , Built a new screen top, with acrylic lids on each corner.
We Incorporated a Nori feeding rod that slides into one of the lids from the top. Now i can feed nori without getting my damn hands wet. I was really tired of the TLF algae clip.(hated it )



Used the home depot DIY screen frames etc. Used netting from buckerfields.


was our first working with acrylic , was fun.



couple of coral shots



Anyone ever put any coral in there overflow box ?
I need to ditch my torch coral as it is clearly killing my second clown fish. Wife thought that maybe we could put it in the overflow

Just glue your torch to the back glass. Thats what I did, looks cool and keeps it away from everything else

The issue is , our clown fish is hosting in the torch. He is slowly being stung to death. He is covered in black sting marks. He will occasionally get swollen areas too. We used to have 2 clowns. But came home one day to find the clown sucking on a torch tentacle. He was dead a few days later.

So I need to move the torch out of the tank. Or try the overflow box

My clowns host in my torch, no stinging. Maybe it's something else?

I had two clowns that hosted a torch. They did get lots of black marks however they lived a long and healthy life.

Are there any other signs of bad health? Or just the black marks?
