Stocked and running!


The 100G project is complete. I just migrated over the contents of the 55g this weekend and the 30g want two weeks ago. Interestingly enough I wouldn't get all of the LR to fit so there's a couple of large chunks in the sump to help out the macro. The skimmer works well and I'm just today starting to get more noticeable green algae growth. To celebrate I picked up a baby hippo tank from a LFS that just started to give the marine stuff a try. What a psycho fish, but cute as can be!

Here's the result of months of work:

I've got some extra tank stuff now if you know anyone in the Bend/Redmond area that's interested. Also I seem to have an over abundance of green star polyps. I'd love to be able to give them away.

I'm not local, but what kind of stuff do you have leftover??

Also, can you get a closeup of your powerheads? What are they directing water into?

Buzz,

I hate the suckers on PHs so I mounted mine. The PHs in the corners point upwards and are mounted/plumbed to holes in the top of the tank (obviously acrylic). They then are plumbed over the top with 1/2" pvc to the loc line fittings (in the foreground).

The stuff I have left over are tanks, stands and hoods from 30 and 55g systems. A few misc parts. Nothing worth shipping.

Joe
