Updated pics. got a bunch of new corals from some friends and also got back what few corals that survived my tank crash in January from the friend that was holding them. Unfortunately his tank crashed after one of his kids played with his calcium reactor so we will see if they come back to life in my new tank.


And a few nice pieces

Finally got a 1.5" gate valve and modded the output of my Euroreef last night. So much easier to make adjustments

Added my lineatus pair to the display from the QT Monday night. I lost the subordinate male after the dominant one decided he didn't like him any more while they were in the QT.

I also got a clown and an exquisite fairy wrasse last night from a local reef hobbiest. Decided tonight that is a lot of $ that likes to jump so I put up some egg crate for a little piece of mind.

Back into the world of clams. Was able to basically trade some spa flex for this.

Just gotta know the right people...actually they are a member of this forum. I basically met someone at their house that I sold some spa flex to and it came to the exact amount that I was buying the clam for so even trade

Squmosas are also one of those difficult ones that you never know how much the pattern will dull and stretch as they get to full size. This one is about 6" now and the pattern is still very crisp and it has a lot of contrast between the blue, grey, and almost black background. Hopefully it will hold it's colors.

Hooked up my auto top off tonight which consists of a 24 gallon rubbermaid container and a kent float valve. It is gravity fed so the container sits on a wooden stand above the 100 gallon rubbermaid sump. There is a flaot valve in the container as well wich is connected to my RO unit so I can just turn on the water every couple of days to fill the top off container and not worry about it overflowing.

I posted in your thread here, post #7
http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=103884

It is 36x36x25 and came from glass cages. They do make a 36x36x31, but I believe they will make custom sizes as well since a lot of their aquariums are built when ordered anyway. Also if you go with starfire glass, it will be custom built anyway.
