Well I added a few more frags to my tank. I got them from a good freind of mine that I have not seen in 12 years. wow its been that long Greg? In anycase He gave me ................
Bali green slimer
Porities
Tri-color
purple acro Unknown
purple mile
They are all glued in place and doing very well. Now if I can get the rest of my hit list I will be most pleased. Only 10 or 12 more to go LMAO .............. yea right not to mention My Maxima blue teardrop.
Here is were the tank is at
Salinity 1.026
P.H. 8.1
AMMONIA 0 PPM
NITRITE 0PPM
NITRATE 0 PPM This is hard to believe but its true

Wait, Did you say Blueline HD 40? as in 790 gph? how does that work for you? I am thinking of downgrading my panworld 150 [1100 gph] on my bullet II to save on energy and heat. My tank is lightly stocked now, so it is not a problem.


I also own [and don't use now] the Panworld 50PX- which puts 590 gph out ..or a MAG 12 but I think both might be a step back too much..

yup thats what I was told to use by Andy At MRC. It works great becuase it is 740 GPH Pressure rated pump Hope this helps. also it is very quite and runs very cool.

Great looking tank! I see the sump and the protein skimmer, what I don't see is the calcium reactor/kalkwasser reactor. How are you adding calcium in that big tank???

I love millie's the shot of the yellow and pink millie is awsome. Now, I wonder if my wife sas this tank if she would bite??

Michael, I love your aquascape. Super clean look too. Are you planning to keep the algae off your background?

Thanks for the kind words, I clean the algea every 2 weeks becuase I hate it But once I add my centropyge interruptius it should be fine.

P.S. do you think I should add some more snails? I have 75 astrea

Maybe down the road I will add one. But as of right now I have been doing great with B-Ionic 2part.

Now, I wonder if my wife sas this tank if she would bite??

Good luck with the wife

Are your yellow pumps pan worlds? If so how are you liking them...Ive been looking at them for my 120 gallon AGA setup im building. Any suggestions between the pan worlds and the Iwakis everyone loves, besdies the 100 dollar difference.

thejuggernaut,
you might also look at the Sequence Barracuda or Hammerhead. I have the Hammerhead running my 120. I needed a lot of volume for my chiller , UV, and tank returns and it did the job. I think the pump is rated at a crazy 5000gal/hr. It cost me around $286.
