hi all sorry i havnt been updating very often. Thanks for all the compliments. I need to figure out how to get email notifications for this thread...

toejam, i just have the sump completely open tub and keep the level constant with a Litermeter III

Ok I am a horrible photographer. I took about 20 pics today and only a couple turned out ok. This is how the tank looks today. Coralline has really purpled up the marco rocks and the corals are doing pretty well so far.

One of my favorite Acros, the
Upscales Microlados is starting to grow and show good color for me.

Looks great! How do you like that depth?

 

[WesF]

thanks i love it. I think the fish love it also. There is quite a bit of open swimming space behind the rocks.

Sweet build. Gettin ready to do a 300DD myself. Did you use all 360# of sand in it? Love the Upscales Micro too.

 

[WesF]

thanks. I ended up only using 240 lbs.

Were did you get this light fixture at?

Aquaillumination 1x80w T5 HO retro w/ ATI blue plus bulb. R2 Extreme LED moonlights.

 

[WesF]

It's just a T5 retrofit on a 2 x 4. I got the t5 retro from reefgeek.com. The moonlights are from aquariumspecialty.com

do the weather changes bother the tank at all? I have always wondered about keeping a tank in a garage.

It holds steady at 80 degrees. The tank has heaters for the winter and a chiller for the summer.

here are some recent pics. Sorry i am a terrible photographer and had some afternoon glare issues.

The bridge is almost complete...

Here you can see where the hippo had some HLLE. It has been slowly healing back up since I stopped using carbon.
