If i was to upgrade my tank, i think id go 180/220/280 gallon something along that size, when i get my own home, i hope to get one this size and build it into the wall (much easier than having to clean the dust off the stand and keep it clean plus more room to work on the tank
) and have a tank room to keep all my supples and all in. Much better than having the qt, ro/di unit and buckets/supples sitting next to the tank.

Many of our spouses/SO's would too, no clutter, smell, spills...only the beautiful fish and corals that magically feed themselves, clean themselves, and without any apparent help are spectacular.
NG...you continue to have a fun and entertaining thread...and great pictures! Glad ocean is doing well...if he only knew of the grand plans you have for him...

Nope, you're right.. good eyes! I placed another heater in their to help keep the temps constant for now while my tang battles the black ich. Higher temps helps him.. and the heater in my sump wasn't able to keep it stable at 81 degrees. It fluctuated too much which I didn't want to happen right now, so I just stuck this one where I could get to it easily.
The Jager heaters are huge. This one won't fit in my sump. It's like 17' long it's ridiculous.
Here is a photo of my sump. 29g.
OMG, is that your sump? Its soo simple! I think i over did my sump. ITs a lil complicated....funny thing is, I wanted to keep it simple.
Ill post pics of it in my thread soon.....kinda embarrassed about it though....

Thursday Update!
Today we took a trip to our LFS store to check out all-in-one tanks. Thinking about setting up a small nano for fun.
Anyway, we came across some pretty Trumpet corals someone had just brought in. It was off a huge colony the guy had for over two years.. and they fragged it into several smaller ones.
We decided to go ahead and grab one bc they were a pretty color.
I also snapped this pretty photo of my watermellon zoas. They are coloring back up nicely after the bleaching and that makes me really happy. When I got them they were 1/2 the size they are today.

G'day Ng,
Since a few people have mentioned the sump, in particular the face that you don't have hose clamps on the pumps, I thought I'd throw an idea your way. On the Aqua c skimmers they use ratchet clamps, pvc pipe fittings. They are very effective, adjustable and strong.
This link will show you what I'm talking about, keep in mind this is an Australian supplier, but you should be able to get them in the states, and they are not expensive.
Ratchet clamps
Hope this helps,
Cheers
Chris.

I didn't know those were used for plumbing applications. I've seen those mainly used in automotive applications to secure wire bundles under the hood, or bonnet in Aussy speak. ;-)

Thanks Chris
That's a good idea. I know exactly what you're talking about. I have a Remora and used those for the tube. I wonder if someplace like Home Depot would carry them?Thanks for the good info!

Awseome new additions to the tank, NG. The trumpet coral is going to be fantastic once it opens up. Love the colors on those watermelons.

Ng If Home depot don't stock the clamps, see if you can find an agricultural supplier. They usually stock heaps of things like the ratchet clips. I hope that they are not to hard to get.
One option would be to flick off an email to Jason at Aqua C, and ask him where he gets his.
surfjeepzx, g'day cobber. Been down under before or know a few mad aussies? :lol: I found mine at a rural supplier. They can be used to clamp poly pipe onto the relevant fittings, instead of hose clamps. Especially if there is a chance they can rust.

Yeah got it last Friday. I hated the thing the first days. Reading the manual helps forget what people say haha. I got the Dx version supposedly 10MP, but well just see about that when I get the hang of it. Yes big Noob to DSLR
Say that tang is looking better now. Was it just the FW dip or did you try other things?
