Yes it does look better than I expected. the branches kind of interlocked with each other without glue. look for tank breakdown sales on FB you might get lucky.

Tonga should be great with sps. But I want an easy softy tank with a couple of LPS mixed in.

Scored some rocks. I have a variety of different types of rocks to play with. Have not seen Tonga branches for a long time.

From what I watched on youtube this is quite difficult to do when the tank is running and you would need to do it yourself. You will need the tank on its side and the glass strip properly supported while the silicone is curing. And glass can be expensive at this thickness and dimension.

Thanks @redfishbluefish @mnat @diana a @redfishbluefish - haven't thought about the possibility of a 3 way valve. The drinking filtration system is great not too difficult to add another canister for DI. @diana a starting to look at the 60w nicrew on Amazon thanks for the suggestions. I have...

I see. Thanks for sharing the experience. I like your pump approach something I have not thought before. The included reservoir is small. So I almost definitely need to have an external one. Maybe on a cabinet next to the tank. It can be temporary, only used when I am out for extended period...

Interesting. My new tank has built in float valve for ATO. I was gonna ask if anyone has used a passive ATO system. I would have a reservoir higher than the sump to feed the ATO. For mixing I used similar setup. Just 29 gallon tanks and use small pumps to transfer water. The rectangular tanks...

@Juano908 Thanks bud. all good. Stop by when you're coming this way.

Ordered a return pump. Looks like jebao has cloned the vortechs and nicrew has radions while I was out so that’s going to make it affordable :)

About 40 gallons. I wonder if RO without DI will work. I have RO for drinking water and the TDS coming out of it is about 7.

Well I have been out of the reef hobby for a while but a recent visit to the Musée océanographique de Monaco really piqued my interest. Here's a few videos of that visit. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpma7JMl9UzSidMkiybaPKtW9QCfPW405 As soon as I came back I found this gem of a tank...

Please do. I can stop by in the weekend. Thanks!

I could definitely use it. Do you still come up north sometimes?

Tropiquarium was closed a few years ago. When it was open we didn't know how good we had it. There was a clam about 2 feet long in one of the big tank. I visited there frequently. Their FB page is still up so for those never been there, to take a look at what it used to be...

Wherever the air comes in. Looks like the silencer has a small hole on it.
