Hey Doug L don't dispair, I find that things work out for the best when not forced, keep us posted

Put the plans for a 300 on hold for now. Having trouble getting it built on here, as it needs to be built on site, at a reasonable price of course.

Better off anyways, as I wont have any desires to add that tang, Horge

As I would like to keep lots of room for my sps, I have moved most sotfy,s to the 55 gal. sump. It has a deep sandbed & is lit with a 175 watt 43K halide. Any rock that had a polyp of any kind was moved. All thats left is my large star polyp colony, [seperated from main reef], other colonys growing on tank walls, both yellows & green, a couple of seperated mushroom colonys and of course, the clowns home bubble coral.

I have removed my Euroreef again, and will see how the growth & tank progress, with mainly the two large sandbeds doing the filtering. I also have lots of sponge growth,etc.

This will show several things. I will watch any sps reaction from the soft corals, galleon. Will see how the sps growth compares in my system compared with others. I even have a large monipora digita colony in the sump, under the 175 watt 43K bulb.

ugggggg, that tang is yukky Horge, Hey, have not heard that name since reefland started,LOL

Perhaps, I will after the other 50 million projects around here, , build that sunroom, and stick a big honker tank in there, with lots of natural sunlight.

Aren't you glad you're retired Doug, so you have all that spare time on your hands?

[Flatlander]

I love the time and retirement part Alice, its the $$$$$$$$$$, that one recieves when retired early, that limits projects, Guess I need to go pump gas to build the sunroom with the big tank.

Doug, what happened to your 170?

[Flatlander]

Troy, its still in the rec room wall, doing fine. Just wanted bigger. My soft corals are getting to large for the 170, plus all the new sps frags, I have added.

Besides the ones I purchased, I cleaned out all the rubble from my lfs friend, last winter. Very small pieces of many kinds of sps frags. Dont even know what some of them are yet.

I was going to add a 70G sps tank, but put that on hold when thinking of the large one.

Doug,
I was thinking (had cake for lunch) would it be possible for you to assemble the tank yourself? Have you thought about having a tank manf. cut the pieces for you, ship them to you, and you put it together? It's not really that hard to do.

I don't get the connection.

Thats what we were going to do, but with his help Jerel. I suppose we may still some day. I am currently building an addition/sunroom for the wife. Perhaps I could sneak one in there.

Progression of Doug trying to build a tank,
