Hey MakoJ,

I was just re-reading your TOTM article on reefkeeping magazine. What type of cucumbers do you have? How big are they? How long have you had them? Do they move around at all?

thanks and love reading about your tank!

sorry just saw your post, I have tiger tails and regular sand sifting ones. Some are over 8" long now most are over 5" . I have had them since the tank was setup so over a year now, the tiger tails don't move around but the others go every where once the lights go out.
 
Took some shots of whats growing behind the rock work.

I don't have a lens that can take the picture without me being pressed against the wall so the pictures are a little out of whack.

As always, beautiful pictures. Your corals are spectacular, I'm going to have to reread the thread before I get started to see how to do it!

Thanks for the info!! Sorry for all of the questions. But, is the sand sifting cucumber the holothuria edulis or black sand-mopping cucumber?

Once again, makes me want to try to convince my wife to get a 300 gallon tank everytime you post pics!! Absolutely amazing!
 
Thanks everyone!

Eaglesrx---No problem, I'm guessing that they are the edulis as they are yellow and brown in coloration but don't remember?

I think you should get TOTM for a second month in a row :)

I have enjoyed opening RC a little bit more than usual this month :p Even when things were going really bad with the tank transfer, I'd open up RC and remember that not everyone has a tank like Brian does :lol:

:D i had to do the same things few weeks back to removed all shrooms from main display. great pics as always Brian, we need to work harder and wish our tanks will look half as good if not just one part maybe :lol:. just keep them pics coming so we can drool over them for time being :cool:
 
Mako, Can you please let me know what kinds of support you used for the feet in order to level that beast? I want o put the same leveling feet on the stand I want to make butwant to make sure they can handle it. A pic would be HIGHLY appreicated. :)

They were put on by the tank manufactures so I don't know exactly what they are but I will try to get a picture for you. What they look like to me is a large heavy duty bolt.



LOL I used to stick corals back there when I had no room for them else where now I don't have any room any where LOL
