welcome to saltwater 101
to have a convienent system you are looking at lots of $$$$$$$$
frustration comes with reefkeeping it happens but you get over things.you want a tank as big as possible but you get frusturated at a 135 relax alittle and enjoy .owning a reef is no simple task requires alot of time and energy and patience from what i have read from you over the last 4 months you have none of the above so relax alittle take some deep breaths.i'm not bagging on you but you gotta chill alittle

Any whole tank shots? Do what you want it's your $$$ just don't hurt any livestock. I want Streams.. I want bigger.. species tanks are cool but having a big tank is amazing everywhere you look there is something new to see (once well stocked). When my parents got me the 46 ( just the glass tank/stand) for x mass.... i remember them saying it's a work in progress. There have been times i have hated my tank.. but it's coming along. Patience.. get some cool things and aquascape the way you like and you will like it more.. works for me.

The frogspawn looks like it's doing very well.
Well I hope that you decided to keep the 135. I think that you will be alot more happy with the bigger tank in the long run. After the first few months the money really starts to slow down. I remember that I thought I would never be able to afford such a big tank in the beginning but after it was all setup and done it was easy to take of and to enjoy. Now I just watch everything grow and I don't add to many new things to the tank unless it is impossible to pass. Maintaince will be alot easy with the bigger tank as well and you won't have the trouble of taking care of 3 tanks even though they are all plumbed together. And you can keep larger fish in the 135 like that foxface and maybe a tang.

i saw amazing foxfaces at my lfs.....and a cool dwarf fuzzy....i wish i had a bigger tank..sigh. cough...
I am going to get a sailfert test kit of calcium/alk and once i know what i'm at.. not blindly dosing..like I am now.. no ill effects..good growth.. consevative does. I am gong to get a ORA tort i saw at my lfs! My t5 are amazing! They change coral colors! When i see a cool coral i think..hmmm how will this change in my system?
Will a dwarf fuzzy add to much waste? Eat my skunk and blood shrimp???

Foxfaces are very cool fish. Remember, if I do the new system, then Larry (the Foxface) is stayin with me in the 100g sump. He's a great fish...Nick, you could probably keep one for a little while in your 46, depending on your bioload already. Mines grown about 3/4-1" so far. It's been 2 months since I got him.

Ya but i don't want to get rid of 'em if i get one. They were some small ones, but if i'm going to get a fish I'm going to keep it!
I picked up some Cheato. Death to MICRO algae...Refugiums work wonders!

In the Rubbermaid will go all the rock from the tank now, that I don't put into the display 20s and 10, for the refugium. I will section off the part for macro growth, so that Larry wont eat it, and I'll put in a nori clip for Larry in the other part. So it will basically be his tank, except darker (lit by only a fuge light), and a tad smaller.

Too bad you live in Texas, if you were closer you'd get my 135, and then be able to get a Foxface
