Thanks Nick.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=15150474#post15150474 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by GSMguy
I love it, no wonder Jason wants to build one just like it.
I'm having some trouble with some of my polyps now that I added a second pendant over the tank though. Hopefully they'll just adjust to the more intense lighting and I won't lose anything. The SPS is going bananas now though.
Personally I don't think so. People do have better luck with certain types of them though. The most common ones I see are Lyretail's, and my Bartlett's also seem to be pretty hardy... but are fairly aggressive.

With those you know that doesn't have to be an option
Nice tank Sara. Sure it'll be simply stunning
Thanks Gresham!
I added the black backgound this weekend, reconfigured the fishroom to fit the sump so all I need now is a plumber and some time!

Yeah, right! :eek1: I did get Brian to do some killer plumbing work on the other system though!
I did just get off the phone with the plumber and I just need to be here is all ... leaving for vacation for the 4th and then up to Toronto for work next week! Maybe mid-july it can get done!

I really want a large shallow reef tank and I found this tank on Ebay I'm going to probably bid on, It sure fits the description of a shallow reef. Before I bid, any comments. is it worth trying for?

My lights just went out but i will snap a few update pics tomorrow .... still cycling but all looks good. I am currently in the cyano/diatom stage. Hopefully it will be over soon..... the frags i put in there are starting to color up, since they were in my dads tank taht spiked up to like 86deg about a week before i set my tank up 
.... but the micro is making a good come back. The SPS are starting to color up again, but i will just let the pics do the talking tomorrow.
Thanks.
