Thanks so much. I have started ordering the new goodies. I am sure when it comes time to cycle I will have some more questions. But for now I am well on my way. Thanks again guys!

Any reccomendation on brands or specific components?

There are 2 outlets back into the tank, on opposite ends. Keeps things moving pretty well.

I have had a SW tank in the past that I took care of. I do have a test kit for those, an SG meter though I should get a refrac I think. Also have a kit for Calcium AZ water is pretty hard even after RO. I was thinking of giving the current livestock to a friend. He is converting his current...

That, and there is not a "back". It needs to be attractive from both sides. It is between the Master Bedroom and the formal area of the house. Shot from the formal area. Shot from the bedrom side. Access to all the equipment is under the tank behind the doors, access to the top is the...

Yes, Drilled. Also this is a 2-sided see-through tank. So that needs to be kept in mind when coming up with new equipment choices.

Ok. I bought a house this year that has a 110G SW in the wall. The setup is about 9 yrs old, there is an under gravel setup with a canister and a UV sanitizer as well, crushed coral on the bottom. No live rock, just coral bones and barnacles. There are 5 holes in the bottom of the tank, 2 -...

They have since been dremeled down to a managable size.

The wife would like a more tame tank. She wants these 2 critters gone. Will take a reasonible offer on them or a trade for some cured rock. The DogFace is about 7" The SnowFlake is about 15-18" he is a little more difficult to photograph!

Yeah, unfortanately live rock in the desert is hard to come by. :(

I understand the hardships that Liverocks.com has had. Is there any other source for rock similar to their "keywest" rock? The wife was really sold on the amount of color in their rock, and is not too keen on figi rock. TIA -Scott

I feel your pain and know how great life can be once you have an RO system setup. Where in 'Zona are you?

Steve, the size thing caught my eye as well. Though I have seen many mutants in the animal world. So you just never know... 8O

Here is my dogface, he is pretty friendly with his current tankmates. But as of now, no live rock, only bones :(

The current light setup leaves much to be desired. Years ago I had a tank with IceCap VHOs that worked out very well with the live rock and fish. So I ordered a 4 lamp 72" setup and will build the reflector hood and fit it in the wall in a week or so. I was looking at the "key west" rock from...
