Dudester - I do to sometimes but I don't miss the hassle.
asnatlas - No I haven't seen any improvements other than less hassle. I hated watching the sandstorms whenever a fish would swim low. It's been over 4 months and I still blow sand out of the crevices in the rock.

Nice tank...
What kind off eel is that?
I do like the look sand more than BB as well... just My Opinion... but looks great none the less... and the idea about the GSP to cover the returns from Victoria was brilliant, might have to try something like this on my new tank in the works.
I was gonna ask too, is that egg crate fastened down in any way? Or just sitting on the tank? Seems like if one of those triggers get enough head going, could give a good enough nudge to jar it a little and maybe make it out the on the next jump... but maybe just imagining things... just thinking about my Jack Dempsey and how powerful he is, and that your triggers are quite a bit larger...

Their actually not eels but rather engineer (convict) gobies. I have always liked them and everybody always comments about them.
I prefer the look of sand too but not the hassle. I have to thank Dudester and Victoria for the idea of covering the Loc-Line with corals. They are not actually growing on the Loc-Line yet but I have small pieces of corals next to Loc-Line so it should start to grow on them soon.
I stopped using egg crate to cover the tank a while back since I don’t have any jumpers in the tank. If the triggers wanted to they could probably break right through the egg crate and land on my kitchen table. The most the male does is splash some water out the tank every once in a while.

Not many changes since my last post. I did sell one of my two Tunze Stream 6100 pumps and replaced it with the new 6105. I am not overly impressed with it so I purchased another Vortech so that makes three of them in my tank. I am hoping one more will do but I may need to go up to six. The only addition I had was a trio of spotted anthias (Borbonius Anthias).
Maybe I can post some photos today.

Mcrist…. Good Job two thumbs up… I like the peninsula design a lot. I also like the aquascape. I’m in the process of building a 360 peninsula myself. I’m having a hard time finding someone to build the cabinet. I may end up doing it myself. Who made the doors for you or where did you buy them.
Thanks for sharing…….. Good Job.

Of course I don’t mind you asking, that is why I have a thread.
When I said that I was not impressed with the 6105, I was merely comparing it to my Vortechs. Don’t get me wrong the Tunze Stream is one the best powerheads out there but I just like the Vortechs more.
The new design of the 6105 is definitely an improvement over its predecessor. The built in magnet, swivel arm, and smaller footprint are all major improvements but just not enough for me to switch from the Vortech.
