nice tank! the clam is amazing. when those zoas fill it all in that is going to look amazing. not sure if i would have gone with putting it in the bedroom, but i suppose if its quiet enough it would be good.

Thanks very much guys! I drilled this tank and built the overflow setup, it is not very loud at all. Im using a Mag 7 for a return pump hooked to a 3/4'' SQWD. I have the pump choked down about 2/3 of the way. The light is a 20'' 150W Sunpod with a 15K XM. The tank has been setup for 3 months. I took down my 90G and used the water and rock to setup the tank. Everything has done really well so far. I still need to build a sump that has room for a insump skimmer. I have a 10G that I put baffles in with a fuge. I ordered a new Reef Keeper Lite 3 that should be here Wed. Again thanks for all the great feedback! I will update as I go.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on a decent skimmer?


Thanks
Dustin

Thanks guys! By the end of the week I will have most of the up and down grades done and will get some pics up! I sold the RKL3, It was pointless to me to have a $300 light timer! LOL! Anyways I bought a new skimmer, 250w MH, and a T5 retro. Im in the middle of building a canopy now just need to get it skinned and painted.

Thanks for looking!
