The culprit of the ich outbreak was a multicolor angel that was added to the main display a bit to early...a expensive and heartbreaking lesson. I might be getting rid of the coris and marbled wrasse so I can add more clowns, smaller wrasses, some dither fish, & maybe some bellus or wantanabes...

I have a large coris wrasse and marine beta that didn't come out for the video. Unfortunately I lost a few yellow tangs (except one), potters angel, clownfish, & my trio of Japanese swallow tails during the ich outbreak of '15. :(

I'm in Millbrae (near SFO).

I have varoius used metal halides you can try out. My personal favorite are radium 20k's. Iwasaki 6,500k bulbs are seriously yellow.

I subscribe to the old saying "Go with the biggest tank you can afford and fit." I went from a 34 gallon red sea max to a 450 gallon. I also dose and do 100 gallon water changes once a month.

Good to see back in the game Ray. You might want to see if Denzil is available to buff out your 120. He did a great job on a heavily scratched 250 I service. Also, with a 1" think acrylic why not consider a cold water set up?

will do.

Sadly no more naked. I'm thinking of getting some buckshots or the like.

Sup C...Happy new years to you too. We're going to Boston this year to check out the G-men make their title run.

I just picked out the larger ones. :D The smaller ones are going to new homes.

[/URL] I picked up some rbtas (Thanks Mike!)...hoping to add more clowns down the line.

You're going to need another shed for that 375 E!

I have a 100 & 300 gallon rubbermaid also Mike.

I have a all in one 40 breeder you can use to temporarily house the fish/corals you do want to keep while breaking down the big tank. Lmk if you need help.

On a more serious note. I would definitely: 1) switch to a smaller sump. 2) nuke existing rock. 3) buff out existing tank (hello Denzil!). 4) redo rockwork. 5) think about add a Carlson surge. 6) Ask Jim about the sea swirls and ocean swirl he has. ;)

Water changes work to a point, but is a good habit to get into. That being said, find what works for you when it comes to dealing with nitrates, phosphates, etc. Welcome to this addictive hobby!

Say it isn't so Mike! There's not too many BIG tanks left on the forums.
