Thanks.
It amazes me how fast the fish and the corals grow and change. I never really appreciated it when I was younger and I had tanks.
Well maybe that's because I could never keep a fish longer than a month. I am so much more responsible with my hobby now that I'm older. It seems to pay off.

Very nice! Your coral placements are good, IMO, to give them room to grow naturally. Except you may want to move that SPS near the monticap. The monti will grow out and shade it in no time. Or maybe move the cap lower if you still can so that it doesn't shade so much of the tank.
Thanks DRC. All you can eat pics and history are at my blog.

Thanks hitefreak.
My return nozzles point at my surface and so my surface is very turbulent in the rear of the tank. However the front of the tank doesn't quite get the surface waves the back does. So yes, I need to do something more to break the surface at the front of the tank. The film present in the picture comes and goes. I'll have it for a month, and then it will go away for 4 months. It's odd.
I probably need to change my carbon and wash my filter sock and pre-filter sponges for my pumps. Somewhere in my system I've got some excess gunk.
Thanks

Wow! The tank is looking super nice! What size is it?
120 gallon.
4' x 2' x 2'
Center Island overflow, all sides viewable.
It's a nice room divider between the kitchen and family room.
Designing for a 4 sided tank is tough. You don't have a back side to throw your cords behind. But in the end I think I succeded. I like the clean look of it. All of the electrical runs through a dry pipe in the overflow box. And having a 4 sided overflow box is nice, it gives me 24" of skimming surface in only a 6" footprint.
Thanks

hey Josh
did you predict ur clowns would be onyx's or where they sold to you as onyxs? beautiful tank, personally i would scrape the coraline off the middle overflow and move the seio to the back
keep up the excellent work!
They are Onyx?
I thought they were Percula?
They were $9 each at Jeff's in Gardena. They were just labeled as true perc. Did I get screwed?
As far as the Tunze, it's in the front becaise my return nozzles are in the back. So the back is very turbulent and the front is not, that's why I added the Tunze in the front. I've tried it in the back pointing to the front, but when it hits the front glass it disburses downwards and make a huge pit in my sand bed.
Thanks
Josh
