Not because of the fact that the shark would eat the fish, rather the face that Triggers generally don't like sharks. They tend to pick at them and sometimes eat the eyeballs out of them.:eek2: Pretty gruesome stuff.

Yep, that kind of stuff happens. If people would actually research the fish they want to keep and the fish that are compatible, this kind of stuff would never happen.

My cabinets are now done. The last two doors were attached tonight and it really looks great. Now I need to start my next project which is reducing my nitrates. Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve been trying a lot of different things over the last several of months with no success. I decided to try sulfur based denitrator so I ordered the Korallin BioDenitrator S-4002. It should be here tomorrow.

Looking fantastic! I agree that the long locline returns detract from the reef. Mounting frags on them is an interesting idea, but if you do you'll need to make sure you're happy with your flow patterns. Once you have corals encrusting over the joints of the locline you won't be able to reposition their direction to change your flow, which defeats the purpose of having locline in the first place.
What bulkheads did you use beneath your locline returns? If they're Sched80 you won't have to worry about causing a leak.
Hope you're winning your battle vs. the 'trates.

My original idea was to have the loc-line stick out the sand only an inch or two. Then I made some changes and now they stick out about a foot. I think I will try replacing the loc-line with a 2-3 inch nipple and schedule 80 45 degree elbow. I am hoping that this will be a lot less noticeable then the loc-line. All my bulkheads are schedule 80 Hayward brand bulkheads. I was planning on testing the change this weekend but installing my new Korallin BioDenitrator S-4002 and a water change was all I had time for.
Thanks for the compliments Mike.

Looks amazing! I love room divders and your looks perfect where it is and size wise.
I agree the cabanitry made it look even bigger, and much better!
Coming together nice, and will definatly be totm material after it matures a bit!

I am happy to report that my nitrates dropped from a high of 20-25 (test kit not accurate at the higher range) to 7 ppm. The Korallin BioDenitrator has been in operation for only 10 days. I thought it was suppose to take 30 days to see results but I am not complaining. Let see how long it takes to get to zero.

Cabinets make ALL the difference in the world!!!
Solar panels are expensive but they can save you money in the long run. You get enough power to run your house and then the goverment actually pays you becuase you have them. So after a couple of years you make the money back and then start making money. So you dont have to pay for electricity.
