Cool! Following along...

Right on. I may hang tight for awhile and think about it. The yellow and the purple are still figuring their stuff out a little bit so probably shouldn't push it for now. The yellow is the dominant for now, but I imagine that might change as the purple grows.

Nah he's good. Just had two of them, a scribbled and a gold-lined, and I'm consolidating tanks so decided to keep only one of them. Rigoberto is grabbing him in trade for some acros, so he's spoken for. Nems and clowns are also going to someone off Facebook, so these guys are all spoken for.

That makes sense. My sump has zero baffles... so far it's working OK but wishing I'd put one in for mechanical filtration. Going to hang a filter sock below the return line for now. Those silicone lines came out clean.

How are you liking that sailfin tang? Debating adding one to my tank, but not sure if it would create conflicts with the small purple and yellow tangs I already have in. I have heard they are not that agressive out of all the Zebrasomas.

Looks good. What are all the different chambers for on the sump?

Also have a juvenile scribbled rabbitfish to rehome if anyone wants him.

Also added 3 yellow-tailed damsels, a spotted hawkfish, and a tail spot blenny. Probably going to wait while before adding any more fish. These all had a long observation period in other tanks before I put them together, to minimize changes of introducing disease. Gonna let it chill for a few...

Took awhile to decide on the main fish for the 120, but decided to go with a yellow tang, purple tang, gold lined rabbit, and the indian gold ring bristletooth from my old system. Finally added them all together to the 120 today and so far so good. The yellow tang has shown a bit of agression...

New tanks are up and running. Added live rock from KP aquatics and from my existing system. Bit of an ugly phase but not too bad really. Some stringy stuff that appeared to be dinos, but that is dying back. Trying bare bottom on the bigger tank for now, not sure if I'll keep it that way long...

I have 4 small rainbow bubble tips and one pink skunk clown looking to move out. Could also part with a pair of pink skunks. Would be great for a nano tank. In Ft. Collins.

Cool. Can't wait to see it up and running. You don't see many granite tops for reef stands. Seems like a great idea.

You won't need crazy high light for those corals. You have plenty of options but I might look at something like this LED which you can manually control the blue vs white combination, and can turn the output up or down as high or low as you want. It would need to be mounted fairly high above the...

Nice start! Are you thinking about keeping SPS and acros? That might determine what lighting you go for, as will the dimensions of your tank, and your budget. I've had good luck with cheap black box LEDs for most coral, but recently have been using T5s and Reefbreeders LEDs. Lots of options for...

I think it's a risk you just have to acknowledge in keeping carpet nems. I had a watchman goby for over a year with the carpet, and then one day he got spooked by a tang that was harassing him, and swam right into the carpet. Some fish seem relatively aware to stay away. I worried most when...

Is that a haddoni carpet anemone I saw peaking in one of those pics? I have one that I like, but he's eaten two damsels, a goby and a blenny. Now he's banished to a basket where the fish can't get to him.

Looks great. That new left side will fill in before you know it. Diggin the middle rock - nice mix of coral structures with the plating montis and the acro on top.

Probably a long shot... but anyone have a 50" reefbreeders photon light they would sell? Looking for some more lighting for my 6 foot 120 gallon.

Yeah, it's a weird fish. I'll keep feeding him. Seems healthy otherwise.

Hmm.... no plans to go to Denver at the moment. Though I have been wanting to make a trip to Aquatic Arts at some point.
