I love your Joculator! How long have you had her?

 

[rkaragozler]

Thanks, they are 1 of my favorite, I've had them since 3/2011. They have matured and showing signs of mating.

Everytime I see your updated tank pics, the corals look better and better!!! GREAT JOB!!

 

[rkaragozler]

It's been way to long. well it's been a hectic couple of years but I managed to get thru it.
I removed about 400 pound of rock, and about 400 pounds of sand. The tank has 8 Rapid Onyx units running at 100% intensity for 8 hours a day, I am in the process of adding dimming to it.

Geez Rich, good to see you're still alive and reefin!

 

[rkaragozler]

Long time no speak, Albano, all is well, just taking it one day at a time. As for reefing, I don't think I can ever give it up.

I looked at your link for the suction cups and love them! The link says they will support 330 pounds. I've looked at similar handles before and still have this question: is the supported weight cumulative? Will 2 of them support the weight of my 180 I have to move in a couple of months? That's based on an empty 180 weighing ~450 pounds

 

[rkaragozler]

I would recommend 4 for a 6', trying to move a 6' tank with 2 people is a little hard.
But yes to answer your question 2 will be okay, but remember to clean the glass, and the inside of the suction cup with plenty of alcohol and make sure it dries well before use.

It's been a while again, but I am slowly starting to like more and more sps.
After 3 plus years I finally finished enclosing the tank.
