20H SPS Dream Tank

nice selections....i know what u mean i have a 190g semi reef that just got up and running about 2-3 months ago just started adding coral and my wallet is on fire!! i want it to be a full reef one day. i will still be saying that in like years to come. lol
 
I'v decided to go a different route with my CLS. It's going to incorperate 3/4" PVC instead of 1/2" PVC. I'm going to be using lock-line, and that is going to be the only visible parts inside the tank, other than the intake. It will have four outlets on a manafold. One on each side, and two in the front. I will secure the PVC to the trim by drilling a few holes in the trim, and zip-tieing the PVC to it.
 
Travis im almost sure somebody asked you this before but why you dont drill the tank???, at least for the overflow, that way you will have even more space and i think at the long run will be better en case you loose power, btw nice tank

looking good Travis....looks like you will have some real nice flow in the tank. The corals you are picking are really nice too....looking forward to more pics!!!
 
Yeah! I got some more SPS, and there's a story...I get to the LFS yesterday, and the owner, a good friend of mine, has just returned from the airport with a new shipment of fish and coral, mostly fish. So I wait around, and while I am waiting, he gets me to help him put some of the bags floating. He got 8 boxes in and each box had like a minimum of 8 bags. So there was plenty of fish and coral to be acclimated. After we were done putting them all floating, there was a huge rush of all different people, some fresh some salt. So, the owner got me to help bag some fish for a customer, but most customers where just eyeballing the new stuff, which where still floating. Most people just bought the unacclimated fish in the bags that they where shipped in. After the huge influx of people, I got to pick out my SPS. I first picked out the Bush Acro, but then the owner offered to frag the Tricolor for me, so I said I'd give him $60 for the two and he agreed on it. Then he smiled, and tossed in the Orange Cap for FREE!!!

Here's the pictures, I couldn't wait any longer lol. The polyps aren't fully extended, but you get the jest.

Orange Cap (Freebie!), I accidentally broke it when I was gluing it, but it's all good.

Bush Acro, this is most likely my favorite piece. The picture doesn't do its color justice, it's really a light, light teal color.

The Tricolor with it's nuclear green PE :D.

BTW, I think the FTS looks like crap too, it's just the camera, not the tank ;)
