Hey bigger, quick question

Yellow, Blue Hippo, blonde Naso, regular naso, kole.

They all get along. Blonde Naso is most personable for me. Blue Hippo is most skittish. Kole is great for cleaning rocks. Naso is least aggressive.


I really like the Powder blue and Achilles. But they can be aggressive

As long as your overtime pays in gold coins you should be fine
 
Buy from Mike with confidence if you ever are interested in his frag packs when he has them available I've had his corals for at least 3 to 4 months now and no deaths.
 
Hi, I am in the process of getting this same exact tank.

Maybe I missed it, but how did you utilize the 2 overflows on this tank? Did you do Herbies? If so, how did you use all 4 overflow holes and balance the siphon flow out? Thanks for the help!

Okay I found it, but how do you balance the full siphons on each side? Also, why did you use the larger pipe for the full siphon and smaller for the emergency? How does the emergency being smaller handle everything if the siphon gets clocked? Usually Herbie's are used the other way around with the emergency being the larger pipe as to handle the full volume.

Oops, nevermind, I see that you used a reducer for your siphon at the bulkhead. Why didn't you just use 1 inch pipe all the way down?
