Sweet looking tank. Where do you buy your zoas ? Online or LFS? If you ever want to frag and ship please let me know. Would be willing to pay. PM me if interested. Beautiful tank!

Thanks
I have a good friend who hooks me up with sweet zoas. He buys from all over.

One of the coolest looking tanks I've ever seen. How are the corals growing with those lights?
I run the same kalk setup. Do you use a checkvalve between the dispenser and the pump? If so, what type? I was running a rubber valve and found it didn't last long. Have a stainless one right now, but people mention the kalk might cause it to corrode.
:deadhorse1: but great little nano. love the zoas and zebra maxima. looking for a zebra myself.

thats really nice, thanks for sharing...
I got my kalk dispinsor going yesterday. Seems do be working well so far.
I'm kinda new to this- so how does this work exactly?
Very few tanks like this and have a few questions as I am planning two that are almost the exact same type of setup.
I have a fishroom that will house all the stuff on the opposite side of the wall like yours. One tank is going above the toilet lol, and the other in a hallway. I wanted to put the one in the bathroom inside the shower with lights peeking through a tile like shadow box but the people that put the tile in the shower were very concerned with the water proofing system they used (schluter system with a seal for the lighting) so decided against it.
I'm curious to the actual iron framing/plate you used. I'm picturing it as just a plate with like L brackets for the screws. I have 16" on center framing and am a little concerned that I may need to open up the wall to add some more nailer studs but not sure if will really need more than three screws holding it to the wall.
I am worried a little about once its screwed to the studs that when the water is added that it will compress the drywall and cause it to lean down. Did you cut a slit in the drywall for the plate? That seems like the easiest thing to do, just cut a strip of the drywall away where the plate will be snug up against the studs.
Any advice/details of how you attatched the plate would be great.
