Easy E, there is a water volume calculator on RC's homepage that you can calculate how much water will drain out of the main and how much you must compensate for in your sump.
 
Here is mine, almost two years old. Sorry about the glass not being clean.

cost me US$8 per kg to buy good cured ones...
i believe most of it originated from indo seas....
:)
p.s sorry for my bad english.....:rollface:
 
I always found it amusing that live rock is sold by weight but the rocks to be desired are pours and thus lighter in weight. I've always wanted to bring in my own scale into the store and compare density/volume to get the most value out of the rocks I pick out.
 
Try and excuse the window glaring this was taken in the day. Let me know what you think it has only been in existence since Feb. 2006 of this year. I am a first timer. :)

Here is a picture of the tank on a Wife approved stand with a 10 gallon that I converted to a refugium below.

hey impur do you have any of those snails with the elephant tusks sticking out? I got a ton of those and I heard they eat clams and I so badly want a clam. BTW how do you feed your clam?

Thanks!! The clam has been doing great ever since i got it, definately a good addition. I'm using a 250w 14k hamilton MH bulb in a pendant 11" from the water.
 
hey despot how did you get all those corals in there? I'm starting to run out of room because I have so much live rock. I just want to add corals to my existing live rock but the LFS usually sells it already attached to a big piece. Were you just fragging the rock and attaching it to your exist rockwork?
anyone else have any suggestions?

Thought I would post some recent pics after a bunch of upgrads and a switch to an sps dominated 29.

Full tank

Here is a closer pic. The rock that it's sitting in a large piece of branch..and wher it's sitting the rock forms kind of like a cupping hand that the clam just barely fit into. However the stabilizing force that keeps him in place is the foot that he attached with (after about 10min in that spot..so there was no going back without cutting)..
