Well, went to the lfs yesterday and picked up some more livestock..... My daughter had to have a neon dottyback, it looks like a colorful eel..... my son picked out a scooter blenney.... He loves the odd looking fish....and we had to get a fire shrimp.... The tank is starting to look awesome...

Looking great as usual Glenn, that's the biggest hammer I have ever seen....... Sweet!

Nice! Great looking fish.......

Sweet! Great idea.

Ugggh, that is a bummer.... It will all be worth the wait. A Good LFS is very hard to find.

thanks glenn.... that looks perfect, and great reviews.... it has a small footprint too... looks like it will be a 7" compartment. thanks again for the link.

Well after measuring and sketching, and measuring again, I have a game plan for my sump/refuge.... It's going to be 20" x 16" x 16", and I am going to make it from 1/4" glass that I just put the order in for. The cost so far is $75 for the glass. I should have it bye the weekend and I will...

Very nice..... Colin does look very happy, great looking tank. Love the clowns also..... Great looking couple. Keep up the good work.

What a beautiful tank, great job.

About your cleaning crew, IMO I would put lots more snails, I would want 10 nassarius (sand sifting) at least 10 turbos and 5 cerith and 5 Asteria. I think crabs cause tons of issues with corals and eating my snails, so I don't keep them any more.... They are fun to watch, my kids love them...

Changed your sand? I would be very careful doing stuff like that... IMO. When I had to add sand in my other tank I was told to add a couple cups every other day, changing out all your sand sounds like an awful big change..... It may send your tank into a weird cycle.... I'm not sure, by no means...

Yeah I hear ya, I don't care to stuff the tank with too many fish, got our 2 clowns.... Next is a goby, and pistol shrimp.... my daughter wants a dottyback.... I will def have a ORA Mandarin..... Probably about it for fish.... But I am thinking about a BTA, and I have read they can really add...

Sure thin Wrangy, and thanks Goma, that's good news... It will be pushing it, I saw some pics of another sump/refuge and they were using one, but couldn't see what the Dt was. Wrangy, I will take lots of pics and post them.... Gonna keep it simple, and efficient.

Welcome to the greatest forum on the planet for Red Sea Owners;-) lots of great people, with great advice..... Looks great, first time I've seen a white one .... Nice. Looking forward to watch it grow.

Ok, after doing a little measuring and figuring, I can't use the tank I had in mind, so it looks like ill be back to the hardware store tomorrow for more plexe, I'm gonna build it custom, to fit in the RSM stand., I have read alot and got a plan to move forward.... Does anybody think my Tunze...
