Great tank! Once you find that carpet you want...he will take care of "Dori" for u.

That's true man...those haddoni's are super sticky! I lost a baby naso and countless others to one.

[Swirlygig]

Thanks!

I run 3 X 20K XM 250W SE Metal Halides + 2 X 160W 6' VHO

It would take a while to list the corals, but fish I have...

Clarkii Clown
Onyx Clown
Perc
Royal Gramma
Six Line
Purple Tang
Hippo Tang
Mandarin Goby
File Fish - forget which species
Coral Banded Shrimp - Acts like a skunk cleaner
2 tuxedo urchins

If you wanna know what a specific coral is lmk which and I can tell ya if I can remember the names...

Actually I was curious on your fish so that list works for me just fine.

we have the same size tank from the look of it, but I can't get anywhere near that growth.. feels like I'm always battling fish waste like crazy and my livestock is close to yours, although i have one more tang.

really nice growth though.. sheesh!

skimmer

skimmer

what kind and size of skimmer are you running. that bio load is heavy and tank looks great. I have a 46g right now and in the future will be setting up something that is larger.

I have a ASM G3 Skimmer...125Gallon tank

I run 3 Koralia 4's to keep the water flowing and the recirc pump is a Mag24, so there is good turnover.

I know what you mean on the fish waste though...I turkey baste my rocks 1-3times per week just to get the gunk moving...

I think my best moves have been investing in a good skimmer and RO/DI system. You can always get a denitrator if your nitrates won't stay down...I think they are great! Davy182 sells em...They are worth every penny.

Yeah I plan to purchase one of those Koralia evo's 1400gph soon to get some more water moving. ( currently running a 4 and a 3 )

I can stay on top of the bio load with vodka dosing and carbon/GFO, but if I can't keep the waste in the water column for the skimmer to grab, I start getting small cyano patches.

need more floooow!:spin2:

Looks amazing! I am all excited about moving forward with our personal tanks again after viewing yours!
