Come on David, this is your granddaughter we're talking about. Time to go get another Dory and don't forget the crew from the dentist office. I remember my grandkids coming over and that was the first thing they looked for was all the characters of Nemo.

You're right I need another dory. I can always get her out if she goes rogue and starts eating zoa's. I hear only a very few will pick at coral once they reach 4"

Congrats, I think the fish are going to become jealous of that pretty little girl and all the attention she'll be getting.

Joe

That's what grand daughters are for

Nice tank

Wow this tank is just terrible, you will have to post some more pictures to change my mind. Glad to see the radions have worked out so well for you, I have been on the LED train for almost a year and have had pretty good luck so far.

Very cool, just read all 60 pages. Amazing growth, very impressive.
I had a three year break from reefing due to a house build blowing my budget. I'll be back soon and this thread was great to get me inspired again and I'm thinking LED's for sure.

The guy at reef Specialty say's the Super Reef Octopus XP-5000 External Protein Skimmer is all I need and is what he runs on his 500. Go look at his tank.http://www.reefspecialty.com/our-tanks/mikes-500gal-sps-tank.html
What do you think?

+1 on the SRO XP 5K. This one is on a 550 fish only system and with bio pellets the NO3 are always 1-2 ppm on Red Sea test kit.

It's worked well for me so far. I'm pushing 700 gallons total. My bio load is 9 tangs plus a bunch of smaller fish

A friend of mine is building me a frag tank out of acrylic. 96x18x18. 134 gallon. I will keep this separate from my display.

Drove home with family from St Louis today. Noticed the Quilting museum in Kentucky near Paduka. Thought of your thread and tank. Probably an easy trip for you. Tank looks good by the way.

 

[david00061]

Thank you. We were thinking about going to paduka this year
