Hey Bill I have a question.  I see your hammer on this last pic is darn close to the caps up on top there, since they are in easy reach of sweeper tenacles do they often get stung?  I tried to sort of aquascape similarly to you and if my corals ever grow up like yours I guess I could end up in...

Hey looks like you did a good job, fuge mods are nice touch IMHO, but wouldn't add any other fish(not suggesting you were going to). I can understand the worry that some people have but....but...if you are careful and watch your water parameters, don't overfeed...you can continue to pull it...

Welcome back .... find someplace to hide the fishfood so the little one doesn't get into it. ::) Like mine did yesterday.

Yes sounds like scrolling coraline, would personally say that is a good thing.

Couple of us have bought the Catalina Aquarium T5 lights and are happy with them. Though I would suggest replacing the bulbs as you go, I found some of the other bulbs have better colors.

Well first welcome aboard great to see a newcomer with a super first post. I am a T5 person, I would say for your tank 6x54W would be good. Given normal shape tank right? I will point out we have a couple guys who use VHO bulbs for LPS ...check out blange's tank thread you may have more...

I am not really argueing ... think it may depend more on the type of clam. For sure as Wendy pointed out some should go way up there. I was just stating my personal experience.

I have a derasa clam on the bottom of my 120 about 20 inches down with T5 lighting. I do keep a fairly long photo period, feed phyto, and he stays on the sand. Derasa clams are more sand bed oriented and don't attach themselves to anything. I have had good growth got the typical 2 1/2 inch 40$...

Nice custom build on the hood, looks better then anything you could buy. Thanks for that tale to go with the tank.

Looks like you did great without us. But welcome aboard. Hope we can improve your reefkeeping experience. Can you give us some history? James

I was looking for a healthy NJRC member to do some work in the garden. ;D

Great idea...I added my stuff. I agree the more info the better.

Tank looks really great. I wish I could have helped/watched you make the move I am sure it would have been a lesson in tankscaping. Really just amazing.

Looks great. How are the lights working for you? Any other equipment upgrades etc?

A brief warning ... beware the heat that CP bulbs add to your tank. They are not as efficient as T5 lights and they tend to drive me nuts. IF I was running my 24G nano again I would try to Mod it for T5 lighting or LED lights. I really hated the heat obviously.

I think we have a sponsor over towards Trenton too LFS that does pretty nice job, never been there. Check out our sponsors. Good luck with the trip. You could get a couple battery powered air pumps for the trip. Welcome to NJ Reefer and all that. James

Check out Wingo's threads he has some here but posts more in Manhattan. http://aquaprobuilder.sunsun-usa.com/ http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/wingo-led/40645-leds-please-moon-light-moon-light-spy-light-sale.html http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/wingo-led/

It still looks great. There are some fish that eat them right? Maybe your tank needs a new tankmate? ;D

Congrats what you going to do with the 40G sump, fuge, stand alone?
