Ghellin's 180 build.

Water change system looks nice! You may want to cover the top-hole in the bottom reservoir (if that makes sense) to prevent evaporation.

 

[ghellin]

that will be awesome.
if it's in the garage, will it be temp controlled to the tank?

I will drop a heater in it in the winter. In the summer it really doesn't get to crazy hot in the garage but I will do water changes just as the saltwater hits the 78 degree range.

It will be covered, I was unable to locate a 1" Uniseal locally so I am waiting on a BRS order. Then I will drill the tank.

So cool!

You never see adults.

Kind of want our juvi to start changing

 

[ghellin]

Thanks! I love the adult form for sure! His patterns are amazing!

[ghellin]

Thanks Lynn. You are right forgot to post this one.

New toy! Apex LSM with 4 LED strip.

 

[jason2459]

Looking forward to how you like those and if you think 4 was a good number or if 3 or 5 would have been better. I'm thinking of getting those too now that I have an apex.

 

[ghellin]

Currently I am using 2 over my 180 and the other 2 I am using to light the ceiling above the canopy for now. I want to let it run like this for a bit but may out all 4 on later.

Few new pics

 

[Lytehouse]

is the first pic a favia?

that's really pretty

 

[ghellin]

Yes it is, I am thinking it may be ORA baby's breath rather than the Mias pot of gold I bought it as. The 3rd pic is that favia I got from you a long time ago!

Talk about inspiration. How long have you had that Achilles? How is it doing? What did you use to secure the rock to the back wall? I was planning on using magnets when I get to it.

 

[Lytehouse]

much bigger and prettier than when you picked it up.
things starting to come together well.

 

[ghellin]

Thanks Lynn! I just got back from a week vacation, and I swear the tank has grown like crazy! I am hoping to see some good growth over the next few months.

Thanks! The Achilles completed tank transfer and was added to the tank on 2/3/15. He is amazing, definitely the king of the tank. I run crypto free and I have a very rigid QT process to make sure I can keep my fish happy and healthy.

The rocks are secured with silicone actually.
