ok now your making me feel like a loser. I have a neptune just havent figured out yet how to set it up(lazy to program it) My system actually isnt that hard to keep track of. I spend all of 15 mins aday on it

Well, the reason why I ask is that there are so many benefits to using it. If you need help, you can PM me, and the Neptune forum is a great place to get ideas. Curt is also super on customer service. My ACIII Pro emailed me while I was at work to let me know my CO2 tank had run dry.
 
just been lazy to learn how to program it with my info I'm sure it is easy. just never did it before

Nice vid and pics. the walk-around was cool but man you have a lot of fish! I guess you had no choice but to get the Volcano. Your tank looks great butI am surprised you didn't go with a Neptune controller consiering the complexity of the system and all the management & alarm benefits of a full system controller.

wow! I thought it looked kinda empty!! I was thinking more fish! A nice pair of angels would look nice in there! Bellus, watanabe or something like that!!

he's got plenty of fish. Some of them are going to get big too.

Hey all my fish are just fine size. Dont be poken fun at my fish they can grow as big as they'd like in my tank.:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
exactly my point. I think I have about 35 fish in my tank and that's good enough for me in terms of large fish. I have to really keep myself in check in that regard, but the LFS around here are so bad I won't buy out of their tanks.

So I am contemplating a large school of very small fish, that's about it. I don't want to have to get rid of fish later on, but I have read recently that some people believe that if you over populate a tank the fish will be less aggressive. I am not sure I buy that, but it is an interesting theory indeed. My situation is that I want to keep my bio-load low through the first couple of years so I can learn more about coral husbandry, and once I feel I have a good grasp of that, then I might add more fish.

Side note that my PLTA has moved front and center again, and this time brought the sebae clown with it, right into the maroon's territory. Interestingly enough, they are not fighting at all, so a total about face on that issue. Animal behavior is so interesting to study. How their attitudes change towards each other without any overt reason is strange.
 
the temp is staying at 76-78 so I havent installed it. I hope to put the cabinets in soon so the cistern shouldnt be far behind

kind of timid during regular time but changes real fast when food hits the water. he kinda scares everyone away and eats like a piggie
