Great looking out! I drilled two holes on each return in hopes that both won't get clogged at the same time.

I was actually contemplating switching to two 1" penductors as I feel like the 4 nozzles might be a bit unsightly once I finally get my blue background on the tank. Maybe I'll place them a bit higher in the tank to minimize the siphon effect in case my siphon break holes get clogged somehow... As this hobby as shown us, where there's a snail, there's a way.

How big do they get when they are full grown?

Pretty good size. My last one before it split naturally was almost 7-8" across. My clones are usually about 3-4" when healed, not likr those little 1-2" ones I see for sale sometimes.

I stopped doing a waiting list for them though. Too much trouble keeping up with people and updating. I'll finish out the 15-person waitlist and just post whenever one comes available after that, no reserve... But that's going to be awhile.

Hey Corey, thanks a lot sir.

I had a DIY hybrid LED/T5 setup which included 3 Ocean Revive fixtures modified with more warm whites and 3 supplemental T5 bulbs and went to an ATI T5 8 bulb fixture. The old hybrid is on my frag tank now and the DT itself is slowly adjusting to the all T5 look. So far so good though a couple of acros are still adjusting.

Shame on me, I never documented the addition of the SBReef 60" actinic bar. It's like a better looking, cheaper version of the reefbrite LED bar everyone adds to make their corals pop.

I went from LEDs as the main light with T5 supplements to T5 as the main light with LED supplements. The jury is still out on which is better as my tank hasn't quite settled in yet but I'll let everyone know!

It's starting to really come together! I'll have to do some spackling and sanding to be ready for the final day when we get the cabinet doors up.

Also, my wife already vetoed the square corners so I'll have to replace the top board to go all the way to the side boards. No corners for this guy.
