It is getting there. I don't know why but I always want to know how big an aquarium is; I guess it is just the fact that I want to be able to picture it. Please let us know how long it has been running for and if possible give us some specs of it.

The tank is a 58. Lights are 2 x 250 watt 10k Ushio MH and 2 x 96 watt 03 actinic PC. All lights are retrofit from Hellolights. Sump and skimmer are running on overflow. The tank has been running for a while now, 6 months to a year. I have been waiting on the lights to add corals.

Any questions?

Dave

PS: No flash on pic 05.

You can see the puffer on the left side of the tank in picture '06'.

The lawnmower is in the 'before' pic in the lower right corner.

The psuedochromis is hiding.

The tank also has snails and hermits.

Hello,

It looks like your tank is coming along. I did however notice something. I attached a picture of what I found. You might want to plug that drain on your skimmer cup, or else you might come home to a lot of water on the floor.

Good luck.

It is plugged inside the cup. You can kinda see it in the pic. It is a black rubber stopper.

The sump, skimmer, and new refugium will be going in the closet behind the tank. You can see the door behind the sump. I have the tubing to attach a large collection container to the skimmer.

Looks good!

If I may suggest something that toby looks like he needs to eat more. If he's not putting on weight you may need to get him dewormed - there are a few products that are good for this when added to his food - treatment is best done in a hospital tank.

Dave, bring me over some small rock and I'll get some Green Star Poylips started on the rocks and some Zoo's also.
