what to do when one tank fails

You get another one:lol: .... lame, I know :o

I decided on a 40br. I really like the dimensions. Here were the plans: 70lbs LR and base rock, 40 lbs crushed coral and shells (seeded with sand from my current tank), 250w MH, 2x 39w actinic T5, 20g sump with fuge, at least 1 drilled hole for the over flow.

I changed the lighting scheme when I saw how blue my bulb was (20k coralview). For now it is only a MH, with no T5. The tank is drilled once (thanks Chris) for the overflow. Went with about 20ish lbs of shells and crushed coral. Everything else looks nice. The canopy is my second DIY, the 2.5 is my first DIY. A few problems were encountered, but all and all, I think it turned about well.

for flow, I am going with the mag 7 return, a K2 and a MJ1200.
the MJ is on a OSC 20/20 timing on my ACjr.

Any suggestions. I will get better pictures in a little while. I have a few frags coming from the swap, so hopefully it will look good soon.
 
Looks great for a day's work... :D


I see a lot of white pieces of rock... Did you add dead rock??? I only ask because it will release a lot of phosphates into your system...
