I took a video today with my new Samsung Galaxy S5, for some reason when I load the video to youtube the colors change. It looks much less over exposed on my phone than on the internet.

PAR is around 280 and medium flow.

Thanks I really need to measure my PAR as I think I am giving to much light.

I love all the movement of the fish Is that a fat head dendro or a rhizo in the middle? How's the pyle wrasse? I've heard they can be aggressive, I've been thinking of getting one.

Thank you, it's a Dendro and none of my wrasse are aggressive. My Powder Blue Tang runs the tank.

I wanted to ask, the wrasse's are ok with no sand?

The fairy and flasher wrasse's are okay without sand, they hide in the rocks and make a cocoon like casing I think from their saliva that they hide in. The Melanurus wrasse needs sand but I no longer have him.

Are the pumps Tunzes or Jebao WPs? Why did you switch your mp40s?

Those are Jabao pumps.

Also as I recall he switched due to noise issues.

Also Ricky, this is one of my favorite tank builds. I'm not sure if I've even commented but I've been following since the very beginning, I loved your old 120 as well!

Great! Thank you, and yes I switched due to noise. I had the pumps sent back to Ecotech twice for the bearings to be serviced. I wasn't going to send them a third time so I made the switch. I just purchased the Jebao DC6000 and Jebao FS8000 for a frag tank I am setting up. It will be a separate system from my 120.

you dont need a frag tank when you got my tank to place your frags in

Hows everything going Ricky? Update?

Hows everything going Ricky? Update?

The tank is doing alright, I added a few new acro's and I set up a frag tank in my basement that is still cycling.
