Thanks.....He has been with me for about 6 months without incident. The Lineatus, is the one I worry about...I am considering the screened top, but I've only had open top tanks, and out of 4 tanks, ive never had a carpet surfer, but I know my luck is about to change.

If you are keeping fairy wrasses cover the tank cause you are correct.

Excellent tank! Very clean install, and excellent livestock.

What is the back panel made of?

Its glass, with an acrylic external overflow box.

 

[tonyespinoza]

cool - thanks for the explanation on the overflow. great design!

 

[fishez4alivin]

Im glad they delivered it that way, I didnt know they did that and wondered how I was going to black out the back glass where the overflow is glued.

 

[sbreefer]

that a blue throat trigger?

 

[Stanley-Reefer]

I'm jealous of that external overflow.

What's a tank like that cost/turn around time?

 

[mrpet]

very nice what bulbs are you running in there....

 

[TellyFish]

Even if you have to wait a few months for that I think its well worth it... Exceptional!

It sure is, he is my favorite fish, so much personality, and not aggressive towards any fish.
The bulbs I run are from the
Front
Blue+
Aquablue special
Super Actinics
Blue +
Aqua Science 22K
Aqua Science 15K
Fiji Purple
Aqua Science 22K
Aquablue Special
Blue+

Thanks everyone, the turn around time was around 2 1/2 months, the stand took an additional 2 weeks. The tank cost depends on size, and you can get quotes from cbrenes@thefishgallery.com, I will say that cost of tank was comparable to Envisons etc....I liked the PVC bottom, so I went with the A.G.E.

I got these cool frag racks from http://www.frag-a-rack.com/catalog/


Nice clean look that goes great with the tank.....

 

[ERB82]

Those racks are win!

Really nice tank.
fishez4alivin , Did you hang your Powermodule to ceiling or pole ? Can you post picture of the end of the cable? I still try to figure out how to hang my to ceiling.

 

[fishez4alivin]

Thanks NVTE, I used toggle bolts for hanging the light. You need to unscrew the end that holds the cable, and insert a 3/16ths machine screw. I used a fender washer between the fitting and ceiling, then threaded the toggle on. I believe it takes a 1/2" drill bit to make a hole big enough for the toggle to fit inside. Once i got the bolt tightened up against the fender washer, i screwed the plug back in that you thread the cable through. You can also use a long hardwood plank and countersink some screws into beams in the ceiling, and instead of toggle bolts, use small wood screws that fit inside that cylinder that your cable hanger screws into. I'll try to get a shot of what I mean, when my batteries for the camera charge.

You may think toggles aren't strong enough, but I hung the light for months that way.

Nice tank!

 

[fishez4alivin]

Thanks Ricky....
Still moving rocks, and corals, to their final spots. I am finding myself removing a lot of corals to make room for future growth,
all to the delight to local reefers.

Some natural sunlight pics early morning....
I am hoping that the 3 1/2 hours of NSL will enhance growth.

Group shot, almost got them all in this pic

Pretty work Fish,

I ordered a rimless starphire and an ATI Powermodule a few weeks ago.

I just couldn't take it anymore, seeing all these sexy rimless/T-5 rigs on here.

 

[fishez4alivin]

Thanks Goodwood, Iknow exactly what you mean...looking forward to seeing your build..

Looking good craig! I'm really intertested in hearing more about those aquascience 22k bulbs.where did u get them from and I'm guessing they are extremely blue.

I still have ur pump by the way.

 

[fishez4alivin]

I'll be at BAYMAC if you're going, be there for the whole day I think. I bought the bulbs at Premium Aquatics, but they charge a special T5 boxing fee...lol The 22K is a little bluer than the ATI blue +'s, the 15K, is dead on an Aquablue Special.
