You could put the refugium in one end or the other instead of the middle. Go refugium, skimmer, then return pump.

I still have our Nemo from Phil, he is the smallest yet strongest fish in our tank. Real survivor. Now is paired with a new clown.

Don't worry your fish are all small. If you decide later to add a bigger fish then you will have given the tank time to mature and build up a bacteria base. If you test and you have any ammonia etc I would add some bacteria in to jumpstart the cycle.

I wouldn't worry about it to excess. You have added live sand and live rock. You are moving to a bigger tank so my suggestion would be to move the least aggressive fish first and then the more aggressive fish next. That will help establish boundaries and also give your bacteria time to catch...

I don't think the rock is too much...if you wanted you have a nice couple of rocks with some holes that you could move to the right and make one larger island off to the left...I did it cutting and pasting but it appears that I cannot upload from work. Will send it home to try to show you what I...

Different sort of water movement....so I don't think you can say just one is the perfect solution. Most of us have some multiple pumps in the tank so this is a great addition to the scene.

Has to do with member vs non member, to eliminate spam.

Brandon sorry you lost a fish, how is the hippo doing? On the bright side your fish husbandry is 10X better than in the past.

Dry side looks smoother, I would guess they have updated that side and the controller is nothing new just color change. Wet side I doubt they can do much "new". Reminds me of the old stirrers in a lab, I would guess that is how they are made generally...

Thanks Mike.....I like snails...40 years of picking shells on Sanibel makes me some sorta snail geek.:D

Sorry to hear. Do you have good water circulation? What is the temp of the tank?

You have left out pics of the snails :D I understand I may be the only person who cares.....where did you get them?

I just read that etching your rock in acid might help burn away the outer layer that would have been the most copper intense. Not sure any procedure is worth the hassle for some old rock. That is up to you I guess. Be careful because what may be no issue now may become one again when you...

Not sure but maybe there is some sorta liquid you could add to rock and let it soak?? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?aid=659 http://www.marinedepot.com/Seachem_Laboratories_CupriSorb_Copper_Remover_Copper_Remover_Chemical_Filter_Media-Seachem-SC3271-FIFMCHCR-vi.html

I think some combo of LED T5 will eventually be my choice. Does anyone else have issues with MH giving them headaches?

The sand is in bags right? So set up the rock and figure out what you want to do then you can move the rock over from the other system...BTW you have had some copper problem right? You might want to avoid the old rock or really treat it well to remove any copper that remains in your old rock...

Add the rock first and then the sand. This will keep critters from toppling any rockwork you might have. I put down cutting boards on the glass to protect it from the rock others use starboard. Build your rockwork first figure out what you like then add the sand after you are VERY happy with...

That trumpet coral is a great pic, you should have saved it for monthly photo contest.

That means any raise in salary will go right to Will haha.

If you cannot go through go around...that sounds like a good plan.
