Great tank.. well worthy of TOTM.
A little off topic.. but, I was wondering.. what would it take for your false perc fry to live? Do they need to be removed (yes, I realize that would be impossible tho)? What is it that kills them, other fish?

For somebody that is new to the hobby but is currently in the planning stages, this TOTM is the best ever. Thank you for being exhaustive in your descriptions of your tank, maintenance, and design. Thank you thank you.

Congrats buddy. Very well deserved!
I spend more time at Jose's house than I probably should and it is truly awe inspiring to see. Easily, he is the most generous and helpful reefer that I know.

I mounted the fans on rubber inserts and groomets that reduced the vibration and the noise by more than half.

I think if I locate a smooth black tile right in fromt of the spawning site and take it out with the eggs to a grow up tank a day or two before they hatch might make the trick. I just have not had the time or the extra tank to try.
