I’d be up for that! Love to meet some of you folks in person!

Death rock included? ;-)

I was in Reefco today and was blown away. Best coral and fish store I’ve been in…ever. Everything was clean, the guy working there was knowledgeable and personable. The fish selection was outstanding and the coral. Wow!

Maybe it’s because my tank is so small and I am fallow for the moment, but my three shrimp are always out and about… the emerald is kind of reclusive though.

Ok, so figured I'd post up my build, as it progresses. Found a deal online for a $150 Oceanic 90 gallon bowfront with two (semi-complete) sumps, and Coralife T5 hood. stand, yadda yadda. On the way home I stopped by Ocean Gallery, where I made questionable purchasing choices and left with $340...

What the heck is that?

Ok. That’s a great answer. Ha. Thanks!

Tried that and didn’t have much luck. I only used a foot or so. Maybe I needed more? I put a valve in when I was messing with it today and closed it a little and now she is quiet but the filter sick looks like a skimmer.

Me too!

If that grows anything like the green slimer (lots of polyp extension), I'd be interested in that, too! :)

As opposed to a nipple on the top of the standpipe? Hmmm...interesting. Thanks!

Understood. The nipple isn't quite the right size for the RO hose. Is the premise that the hose should go down into the water stream? Why would a hose on the nipple be important? Thanks!

Ok, so am thinking about replacing the drain hose with a pipe...it's pretty much a straight shot to where the sump is, and where I can mount a filter sock. Would the pipe terminate above the sock, or in the sock? In the water or above water level? Thanks!

Can you explain this a little better for me? I’m slow. :-). Thanks!

Thats interesting, actually. I think I might be able to test that pretty easily. Thanks! :)

The sump is getting a filter sock/holder soon, and eventually will have a skimmer...don't think I need it until the tank is at least cycled.

So this is my first time having a sump setup on a tank, and it is a little noisier than I'd like. It seems the overflow is pulling a lot of air down through...so in the sump it's like a kid blowing bubbles in his drink with a straw. Here is the setup in the tank: ...and here is a quick...

Gunna set him loose on your death rock? :)

Man, i am just filling my new 90 gallon tank, which I believe I'm going to go FOWL, and would LOVE that fish for the tank...would make it the centerpiece. BUT, the tank isn't quite ready....and he ain't fitting in the 13.5. ;-)

Figured it was worth an update. All of the algae that was growing on the top of the rocks has seemed to disapear. I dare say I'm skipping the ugly stage. hehe...time will tell I suppose. I set the tank up on Feb 5th with all live...well, everything. The only algae I really have is in the...
