fishytime Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Heres a few more shots of the up and running sump. Its been a week and a half now since the move and it looks as thought all the live stock has survived the move. I have one "small" thing to work out. My wee tiny ocellaris clown is the only fish in the tank that is small enough to fit through the eggcrate strainer at the top of the overflow. He is batting 100% so far. Every morning I have to rescue his dumbass from the overflow box. Gonna have to try and figure something out...cause he sure isnt. Im gonna take some aquascaping pics tonight, after it gets dark.

sharuq1 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 You could cover it with crafters mesh until he gets bigger. It will need a toothbrush taken to it to clean it off, but would do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishytime Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion Sharuq. Another forum suggested gutter guard from a hardware store. Not sure which one I will try...depends on how much this gutter guard is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishytime Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Heres what the tank looks like now, unless Ive changed it again. I used the same double overhang theme from the 68g. I really only used two of the original pieces from the 68g overhang on these new ones. These ones are more massive than the last and and I was able to put the pillar in that I didnt have room for previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which one I will try...depends on how much this gutter guard is. This would be the better option as you can get it in vinyl and it won't rust.

Drydock Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 So, your returns on the back are below the water line??? How did you seal them. (Or am I seeing things?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishytime Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) So, your returns on the back are below the water line??? How did you seal them. (Or am I seeing things?) The returns go through a bulk head, so the bulkhead is self sealing. Edited May 17, 2008 by fishytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishytime Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thank you everyone for the compliments. Will try and get some close-up type pics up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishytime Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I snapped a few top down pics of some recent additions. I also added a bi-color blenny. I was really missing the one I had before. Hopefully this one doesnt decide to carpet surf. Purple monti cap I got from Danny Z at the frag swap. Tri-color acro also from Danny Z. Purple tort frag from Snappy at the swap. And another purpleish, so far un-identified acro I got from El Guappo(Mike) for helping him frag some stuff up.

Slough Shark Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Nice! So the tank is up and running completely then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharuq1 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Looks fantastic! I love the purple cap. Glad to see you got your "runaway tri-color" back What kind of lighting are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
