Thanks...I needed to move somewhat fast since I had all my livestock in two Rubbermaid containers downstairs while I was setting up my new tank. I lost 2 fish and 2 corals while I was working upstairs. I needed to get my butt in gear. I ran out of money to finish the stand so I figured it can wait.
Do you have a thread going on your tank?

about 3 weeks now from wholesalers, female is 5 1/2" nice and soild colors are just amazing. i had purchased from justrarefish on the male but came all damaged not from shipping but from seller. right fin was broken all the way which only left one on the left hand side, rear fins and tails was all cut up and scales were damaged from getting caught from ocean.

no he was too beat up and didn't eat for days. i knew when i received him that he wasn't going to make it. also i had open him up just to make sure that he was eating before i had purchased him which they claim. when autopsy was performed his stomach was completely empty which appears to me that he didn't eat for weeks. i will be waiting for my wholesaler to get more and make sure he eats for a month before purchasing.
thats the entire dispaly. all of my fish goes crazy for fresh shrimp and squid..my brother in laws goes shrimping in the gulf of mexico and bring tons of fresh seafood home for me.
I like it.
One thing I don't really like...the length of your returns. They look like large tentacles sticking out of the sand. I think you can get a similar result with a few less pieces of locline/return.
One thing I do like...the sand. You can get some really interesting sand dwellers and sand sifters with such a nice bed. Not too many people do the DSB anymore, but this is very nice.

Talk about brutal honesty but thanks I agree with you. Have you ever tried shortening a section of locline in water and with your arms fully extended? Not easy but would love any suggestions. I originally had most of them hidden in the rockwork but they were not doing what I needed them to do. I had a lot of slime algae on the sand until I moved them to what you see today.
I love the sand most of the timeââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦

No problem mcrist!! I jsut noticed another mistake on mine after reviewing yours... I have the Dart too.. not the Barracuda. WHEW. Money saved once again.
Looks like that Iwaki takes up the most cost out of your aquarium. Thats a lot of flow!
