re: Matts 500 gallon funhouse
my first time checking out your thread.
i've got to say... im WAY shocked that you had corals in the tank the first day, and within a WEEK, you had 3 tangs in there, and not a single one got sick. Lucky must be your middle name!
but the tank looks great now! although im not a fan of the background, it doesnt look terrible... and do you plan on adding more powerheads/flow soon?

I had a 55 salt set up for years fish only. Upgraded to a 125 for about 6 months n ran across a great deal on the 220 so again carried over all the rock n sand n added more to make the 220. Every time I swapped tanks it cycled like new tank syndrome. Now im working to get the reef set up. I've bought small corals n they r growing.

re: Matts 500 gallon funhouse
honestly man... on 220 gallons, i think you are WAY short in the flow department. what size return pump do you have? a small one im guessing by the size of that overflow box and return plumbing. which... can be ok, as long as you have the powerheads in the tank to make up for it. and i really dont think you have any where close to enough with those two. in fact, if you had 6 of them... id still be questioning it. what powerheads are they and how much do they flow?

Well hell, I made a huge err in judgement. Dont trust your LFS, even your most trusted (Inland Aquatics......) Ich has hit again. Im off to hypo again. However this will give me a chance to redesign the tank.
PICS Please!!!!!!!!! Show me your rock design please!!!!!!

Well here's an update. Ich seems to be a non issue. After further examination the spots appeared to be sand on the few fish from an overly excited snowflake eel. I've been focusing on the corals and the tank is really coming along. Photos to follow. Happy reefing!
