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...

He looks alot like this rascal. http://www.fishbase.org/summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?id=5716

I would guess he is probably 6-7 " tip to tail.

Came with the tank. The others were pretty easy to identify. This one I am not sure of. He is pretty large and the wife is set on getting rid of him.

Try ABS pipe, it is usually black in color.

The house I just bought came with a tank. The seller told me he had his blue hippo tang for almost 14 yrs now.

Here is the dogface and another shot I need help identifying this one though.

Well we are not really opposed to starting over. Everything but the Niger Trigger and Yellow Tang came with the house. I know the previous owner expressed interest in getting them back when his new house is complete. The puffer is already pretty big, probably about 8-9" tip to tail, (I know he...

The screen was ordered yesterday and will be here this week. (72"x96" Electric Scree) I am moving the DLP Projector from the living room to the bedroom. So the screen doubles as privacy and TV :) So shielding with rocks / coral is not really going to be a goal. I would really like it to be as...

I will take some better pictures when I get home. I am thinking a mix of live rock and some more fish. It is a large tank and very obviously a focal point for both the formal area and master bedroom. The wife really wants a clown fish(s) and an anomie, but I think the eel has to go if she is...

I am away on business this week. I will take some better pictures when I get home this week, providing the hurricane does not get in the way of the flight home! Below the tank on the MBR side, is the filter, UV sanitizer, etc.
