These are the Duncan's- but I made them mad when I adjusted the placement. At least you can get an idea of all the heads

This takes up the whole top of the back of the tank. (corner 90 gal)

Really nice pieces! If this is any indication of what you will normally stock, you should do quite well. Love the Acans, one of my favs! Good luck
 
So I found my lieutenant tang in my overflow box today- very stressed. It almost killed me. Now I've been looking around for options to prevent this from happening again. Has anyone had any luck with a foam cover that doesnt restrict water flow? I was thinking cutting it to fit the box- but keep it still above the water line. I figure this could also be extra filtration and just clean them with water changes. Suggestions?

I actually remember seeing a top for overflow boxes in an old aquatics magazine - but cant seem to find them online. Anyone know if a place that sells them?

or you could try your hand at a custom acrylic piece. local hardware store should have all you need to do that.

I may try this just so I don't have to worry about overflow issues. Thanks!
 
Well I've only seen the lieutenant tang once since I put him back in. In getting worried about him :(. He is really stressed and his coloration shows it. He is normally almost white but today he is jet black. He ate a little bit but is sticking to all the caves right now
 
Seems to be the day for things happening in my tank! Came back after an hour or so and my anemone split. It's been very happy lately too- so I'm not sure why.

Now I'll spend the next few hours watching for movement in case I need to move corals (if I even can so many have grown over the rock).
 
I made some for my overflows out of black opaque 1/8" acrylic. Work at a cabinet shop, so it helps. I did it to block light to the overflow box, was getting a lot of algea I couldn't get to, and to stop snails and such from ending up in my plumbing, causing a jam. Was really easy. Template your shape , cut it with a hacksaw, and sand it smooth. I actually had to make my overflow boxes out of the same material. I bought a Marineland 180 that was stripped off CL, no filtration at all. But what a steal!! Good luck!
 
Do only certain Nems split? My Sebae is about 18" across, 6+ years old and I wish it would split! I could get rid of both and get a nice RBTA or GBTA.
 
I think google would be our best friend in this situation, or our fellow AA members to settle this. Im curious to learn more as to why anenomes split, since i would like to own one some day.
 
I have read and heard that they can split when happy AND also when stressed. I don't think there is a definitive way to be sure unless you have issues with them already.

They look good and healthy though so maybe they were so happy they just had to replicate! lol
