These are from this morning before the halides kick on.

Wow, that is looking really nice! That anemone must be massive!

Is that a little cat/dog bed on the bench so your pet can see the tank too?

Yes the cat likes to sit up there and watch the fish

Are you using a continuous water change system? How is it working out?

Sorry, saw your posts a couple pages back. Approx how much water are you removing per day?

It is working great. When I open the drip line valve, I change about 20 gallons in 24 hours. Basically a 50 gallon mix in 2.5 days. I am doing it every couple of weeks. It is the simplest way I've found to change water but you need a very large volume system to not impact salinity too much or you need to constantly add small amounts of salt. I am adding about 25 gallons of mix each time (x2 over 2.5 days) and my salinity only moves about a 1/2 a point

Thanks! I may give that a try. My total system volume is somewhere between 800-900 gallons and I change 50 gal a week using a couple powerheads. But this sounds easier than that!

Are you using a powerhead with your "waste" line or does it just gravity feed from your standpipes or sump etc?

Gravity feeds right from the top of the tank. No powerhead needed

Of all the tanks here, yours is the one I check in to see if anything new is posted.
Very cool. Your camera sure shows the colors well.

I really appreciate the comment! The tank has been doing really well lately. I have been battling some moisture/condensation issues this winter so I sealed the top of the curtain with some roofing paper, foam insulation and caulk. Not the prettiest but it is working quite well and definitely lowering the electric bill from a reduction in heat loss. I'll post some pics. Also, I haven't done any water changes in the last 4 months, except adding a few cups of salt here and there to offset water lost from selling some colonies of nepthea and a bunch of rose bubble anemones. I think I have sold 30 rose bubbles in the last several months. My lightning maroon clown is doing a nice job stressing the nems into splitting. I added a nice orange spot rabbitfish that I removed from a customer tank and a hippo tang and large colony of green star polyp from a tank breakdown and a few other colonies that were in there too
