Thank you! I love my shallow tank its so easy to work in, it made the hobby more enjoyable. The bar also works as a great walkway to get better access to the top of the tank. Now time for some updates I just got a tomini tang yesterday from the lfs. He looks great under my leds. My yellow eyed kole tang dont like him as of right now. So im up to 5 tangs in my tank now. I want a total of 10 tangs in my tank! I ordered my new apex from aquacave last week so I hope it will be here soon. I will be ordering the reef dynamics 1000g bio pellet reactor some time this month.

Nice tank, I love the dimensions.

Anyway...about how many # LR is in there? and also what is your return pump GPH?

Also anymore information about the stand construction would be appreciated!

Thanks,

PJ

Tell me what you all think of the bar. BTW I ordered a apex over the weekend so I will do a update as soon as I get it set up.

The bar looks good and I like the craftsmanship on it along with the stand. I have the same type of tank except mine has 1 center overflow and its 6 inches taller.

biecacka · 08/25/2012, 10:25 AM

So how do you like the center overflow? I've considered it but was unsure of flow options and surface skimming ability

Yeah I kinda wish my tank didnt have any center overflow but the price was to good so im realy happy with it. flow options are great tho because I have 3 returns in each overflow box that come out and over the top of the box. surface skimming ability I would say center overflow is the best because a box that is 1'x1' would = 4' of surface skimming so I have 8' of surface skimming in my tank.

JRChristiansen · 09/05/2012, 09:19 PM

updates I got a coral cat shark saturday and added him to my reef. I will post pics 2mro he only comes out at night.

fishmanstan · 09/05/2012, 09:22 PM

fishmanstan · 09/05/2012, 09:23 PM

Coral cats are nocturnal also.
