40 Gallon Custom Setup

Nice autotopoff setup how much water do you go through per day? Are you planning to have someone feed your fish?

I average about 2.5 gallons a day, so 10 days = 25 gallons... I'll find someone to feed them, but 3 firefish don't really need too much food.
 
Well I'm back down to 2 firefish (both purple), while I was on vacation the red firefish went carpet surfing in an empty house... :(
 
Guess I need to update this... I've removed some of the rock work from the tank (the front corner) which has opened it up a bit. I was able to get rid of the cyano but I'm currently fighting PM with my clams so I hope they pull through, I lost 1 the other day... I'll get some recent pics posted soon. :)
 
Good luck with the clams. Mine had a pinched mantle last month...I waited a few days and it went away. I was ready to do a FW dip if I had to. It happened right after I added a pagoda coral that slimed everywhere when I introduced it. I did lose a maxima last year to a spotted hawkfish that I used to have. Forgot to feed it and it nipped the clam to death.

That stinks, I lost both my Clowns that I had for years to carpet surfing.

My clams get PM when I tick them off, Alk drops too low, fish nipping, major lighting change, moving them etc,... You might want to do a quick check to make sure it is nothing simple. It always seems to go away a couple of days after I fix the problem.

Well, today is the day, the tank will be coming down as of tonight... I'm really kind of bummed but if you haven't see my other threads, we're trying to finish our basement and this will really help us get closer to being done. And with the basement will eventually come a fish room for my next project... :cool:
 
All I have is picture of when I had a cyano outbreak... Tank looks terrible, but it's the last pics I took. :(
