That's really cool. I'm not too sure of the likelihood of them hatching, but the article I linked had a good amount of info on breeding them.

I think you should be fine with those shrimp. All 3 are pretty timid shrimp. Now if you had a pistol or coral banded it would be a different story. This is a great article about harlequins. http://www.chucksaddiction.com/harlequinshrimp.html

The oolite is going to be finer than the Fiji. I personally like the Fiji and have used it a number of times. In my new build 57 rimless (36x18) I used 40lbs and have about 1 3/4" sand bed.

Like you said it depends on how deep you want to go. If the tank is a standard 150 (72"x18") I would say between 50-60lbs per inch of depth. It will also depend on the sand you get. The finer the sand the more you're going to need.

That's a great step forward. I wouldn't be worried with 90psi. The to membrane is actually more efficient at higher pressure. If you were at 105psi + I would turn it down.

Lol. I was pretty sure I saw it somewhere had to hunt for it

I've been hears some really good stuff about the acro power. Keep us updated.

It allows air into the drain pipe so that you have a constant flow and not a surge through the overflow. It serves the same purpose as the hole on the top of a durso.

There is a few "brands " of the flex PVC and spaflex is one of them.

I can also help if it's a weekend.

The flex PVC uses the same glue and fittings and rigid PVC. Make a few calls to some pool supply places and you should be able to find it. I know it may be far but I'm almost positive W.W. Adcock in Lakewood has it.

How many of you guys are heading up there? Any idea how long the drive is?

I would say (just from experience with these pumps) it's either going to be the 55 or the 70. If I remember correctly from looking at their system mike and nikki run 55's. Also for plumbing from basement to upstairs I would highly recommend looking into flex PVC. It makes things much easier...

Those blueline pumps move a lot of water. At my bosses house I have the 100 running a 90g corner and a 110g half round on the second floor of the house from the basement and the pump is throttled back a bit. Another setup is a blueline 70 running a 180 in the basement, carbon reactor, gfo...

+1 to both previous comments. I have one on both of my tanks. Never an issue.

Congrats on the upgrade john, can't wait to see everything come together. As others have said, let me know if you need help moving that beast.

Looks great! Can't wait to see more

Nice selection of z and p. Poinsettias are one of my favorites. I'm really starting to get back into zoas and palys lately. So much nice stuff out there.

Dan's UPGRADE 150G +1. As long as the glue isn't clumpy. A little trick for storing PVC glue is to store the can upside down. Make sure the cap is on tight, the glue stays much longer this way.
