I second the motion. Last year was the first for me, and though I wasn't able to make all the events the line up was impressive and the speakers were inspiring.

I do have spare slots in my breaker panel nearby. I can add the circuits when I go under the house to run pipes for my semi auto water change system.

There is an out let we disconnected from the front side which we intend to use on the back side. Do you think I will pull more than 20 amps total? Your experience is appreciated in this matter. I have never run a large tank before.

My Apprentice helped me cut out the wall and rough in the framing today. Nice kid.

Interesting. Much like humans in a way. A person with mucho tends to be more choosy than a person with fewer choices. But, then, we cannot starve our fishes to make em eat algae can we? I'm thinking of investing in lots of GFO...:mad:

Thanks Jim.

I just put the little fella in. He seemed happy enough in his "observation room". He ate the formula two pellets I provided him yesterday.

I could swap it bi weekly. I'm only using 1/2 cup.

You are right, quarantine is probably not the best description. "Observation room" may serve better to describe the tank. I am running GFO and based on Coral Reefers thread, have begun to change weekly. It is apparently not possible to determine when the GFO is exhausted. Do you recommend more...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have been thinking about throwing him in for the same obvious reasons. Tonight he ate some formula 2 pellets. I guess tomorrow I'll put him in. Forgive my ignorance... What is a cowrie?

Ron, Thanks for your thread man! I am very interested in "hidden plumbing, wires and stuff". Any ideas on how to increase flow to the tank out of sight is much appreciated! I wish I was in a position to offer advice, but I am a student of life. Keep up the good work. Some day in the future I...

Maybe I can make a "sandbox" rock. Sort of like a swimming pool of sand within the tank. The level of the sand within the "swimming pool" can be low enough to prevent the flow from blowing it around. I'm just brain storming here. I mean, if people can put a container, why not an aquaculture...

What are display Marcos? I love fish as well, but I hate algae more than I love fish. Have you a favorite algae eater?

Jim, are you still vodka dosing? Is it something you recommend?

Excellent thread guys! I can't wait for more!:D

Thanks Mike. Where did you put the container? Did he seek it out immediately or did it take awhile?

Erin the back of the tank section is open, the sump section has 3 removable supports. More photos will be coming as the pieces arrive.:D

Correct. The the cabinet will be pivoted 90 degrees for me to open the wall. Tank and sump will slip in from the back of the cabinet (hopefully I can coordinate their simultaneous arrival). The cabinet will then be slid back up against the wall and secured top, middle, and bottom to the studs...

Thanks Jim! It took me quite some time to get through it, but it was worth the time. I am currently working on Kris's thread as well. So many threads! About the wp 40's, how will I hide the power cords? I have told myself there will be no visible stuff except reef. Which skimmer do you have on...
