craigslist special, what a mess! (A lot of help is needed)

It all looks fantastic, bud. Yeah, that ric should make it. Great work.

Edit: Hey, yeah. Peppermints will definitely do the trick. Just be patient. Took mine a week to find the aptasia in my tank, and it was gone the next day. If you end up needing to borrow two PROVEN aptasia eaters, let me know.

thanks for the offer. I would hate to somehow kill them while I had it though. From what I have read, they are not the most hardy. Let me know if you ever want to meet up, I would like to see your setup.

[jrnannery]

Sure thing.

Pick up a few things today. Got some Eagle Eye Zoas and a Galaxia from a maast member. They look great. I think I am going to have to move the zoas a little further down the tank. I think I have them in a little too much flow. They are currently around 8in from the surface of the water. Here is a pic:

I have the Galaxia on the bed they seem to be doing well too. The only thing I have noticed is they too might be getting too much flow. Half of it is wide open and the half where the flow is coming from is not open. You can somewhat see it in the pic.

I also got a pair of ocellaris clowns. Now if I can only catch those striped damsels. I caught the blue damsels already and gave it to polly's pets. Any damsel wranglers out there?

Here are some pics of the whole tank. Sorry the water is a little cloudy, I was moving some rock down to the sump. I am wide open for any suggestions you many have. Especially on the aquascaping...i just cant seem to get it to look right.





Im in the market for a better protien skimmer. If anyone is selling a reef octopus let me know. Also I would like to update to CREE 3w led lighting. I know there is a TON of info all over the web but does anyone have first hand experience with them? Or have them currently set up?

[Big_Pun]

do you plan on making your light?

[chrispmcgill]

not sure...still looking at a few options. I have been following this tread http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...hlight=3w+cree since December. This is the one I have been leaning towards. I would get 2 of them http://www.ebay.com/itm/140647717867...84.m1497.l2649 I think that would be enough coverage for my standard 75G. I am also looking at some DIY sets at http://www.ledgroupbuy.com/ or something like this http://www.aquastyleonline.com/produ...mable-Kit.html

Do you have an LED set up?
