Raptor's Red Sea 170

Nice build.

I saw your pics of the nems after reading that you purchased temporary silicone ones... I'm like wow those are sooooooo real looking. Then realized you have another tank LOL

Do you have the model on the target cabinet. My son has the black 170 and I have been looking for a cabinet to go beside it to do just as you have done.

I'm done with the rockscape. This straight on pic wasn't a good one. I'll grab a better one later.

Taking a furlough day and working on the electrical cabinet. It's getting tight up in here. [emoji15]

Looking good. Love the matching orange extension cords. Where did you get them?

I believe I picked those up at Lowe's or HD. I checked my Amazon and EBay orders and they didn't show up there, so that must be where I bought them.

I added 5 Rainbow BTA over the past several weeks. I know, I know you're supposed to wait 6 months according to the experts. The Picassos were just giving me sad puppy dog eyes and wanted their nems. All the nems appeared to like their initial placement spots because they haven't moved. Must be the pulsing flow of the Tunze 6055 and the brightness of the Hydra 52 that they liked.

Also, my clear lid from Artfully Acrylic came in. It's the Tsunami model. It fits perfectly and will keep everyone happily inside.

I also set up some cabinet lighting that will turn on with a magnetic switch on the door

Where can I get that light?
 
The tank has been cruising along. I'm up to 6 Nems now. All clowns are doing well and have a place to park themselves at night. I added a Blue Spotted Jawfish that I got a great deal on. He hasn't really been eating. He just looks at the clowns and snaps at them as they pass by.

I picked up a CPR Aquafuge 2 small refugium that fits perfectly in the leftover gap from the sump. I placed an IM refugium led light to grow some macro algae. I brought over some chaeto, dragons tongue with stomatellas, pods and micro brittle stars from the big tank's fuge.

Lol I like how you used ur tubware. only reason red sea sump sucks would be no space for refugium.
