As always this tank is amazing to look at!
Sorry to hear about your broken brace, would you transfer everything to a new tank? What size? Corey |

I'm debating on if I should stick with the current 10 year old Euro-reef with the two recirculating Sedra pumps, externally mounted to sump/refugium or get completely new gear with new Aqua Excel 10 DC Cone Skimmer, Trigger Systems Tideline 48 Refugium Sump and two Aqua Excel DC 8000 return pumps. Existing stuff skimmer works but those Sedra pumps act up every so many years. The Eheim 1262 pump has been no maintenance for the last ten years. I like no maintenance. Any advice or opinions on new equipment and best way to transfer inhabitants would be welcome and appreciated. The goal is low maintenance and quieter tank which is why DH wants new equipment. Do you think I can lower the water in the tank and move it out from the wall so the new tank can be set in place? |

Hi, thanks for the interest! Tank was saved! I drilled the cabinet and added some threaded rods across the cabinet to hold the tank together. Anything to avoid moving all the inhabitants! I got two new Kessil AP700's--very happy with them thus far. I got an EcoTech M1 return pump and a new Trigger Emerald 40 sump and a new super expensive Royal Exclusive skimmer. Everything is up and running like before but WAY quieter with the DC skimmer and return pump.

following this thread as im getting backlash from considering this VERY idea for my 225g dedicated clown harem tank. one big question for you mobert, did you do any crazy WEEKLY 50% wcs like the brs team did? not a bad crazy but thats unrealistic if im doing clowns in a 225 lol. can NOT afford to do weekly 110ish gallon wcs... NOOOOOPPPEEE! anything specific you would suggest and emphasize equipment wise? i was going to try and get an entire clutch of domino or same as the brs team (darwin) but i think i might just do regular percs just as a trial run. if everything with them works out ill know for down the road. =]

A skimmer alone just wouldn't keep up with this feeding schedule so if water changes were not an option I would consider a large algae scrubber or carbon dosing like vodka or Po3Po4x . The RBTA's might not like the ultra-low nutrient environment but with this many fish, the food and waste it might be ok. |

Tank has been up about 15 years. Several years of neglect. Months of no skimmer water changes nor even feeding. Three days of PG&E power outages. Tank is now cleaned up. LPS 90 % dead but new shoots sprouting from the skeletons. SPS mostly gone. One BTA left. All fish except four clowns and one flame angel left. Ricordias, Paly, and Nepthia dominating tank. Two of the four remaining clowns have started to clean tiles. Hopefully I can re populate. Although I love the many colorful new designer clowns I think maybe Percs are the only clowns that can get along in multiples. I really never witnessed beat up fish or real aggression. I hope my clowns are not too old to lay viable eggs.
