Alright, so I have traded my F. Perc off and adopted a mated pair of F. Percs, with a large Sabea as seen here:

Been playing with lighting. Above we have PC Actinic with 12k T5 daylights. Below is a 150w HQI with blues and LEDs.


If I keep the HQI I will most likely upgrade it to a 250w Icecap and real actinic PC unless I can retro some T5s in there somehow.

Not too keen on the dark spots at the moment.... My Hippo has not come out since I put the clowns/nem in....

I have also ditched the MJ1600 and put in two Tunze 6025s.

I kind of like the spotlight effect, I love your rockwork, is it held up by something? I used to have a 58 oceanic, non reef ready, heaviest darn tank I've ever owned, the glass was so thick it was built like a tank!

Thanks! the left side is drilled with rods, and the right structure is stacked. This isn't that terribly heavy, but being my 4 RR this is my favorite thus far. I have had a Perfecto 90, AGA 125, and some sort of 30 cube...

Thinks are NOT good tonight! Nothing went right, and I mucked up a bulkhead and lost 10 gallons or so all over the wall and floor. Huge mess, and the tank is not operating right now. I do not have the ideal living arrangement for this, let alone the work space to do what I want to do, and it is probably best that I throw the towel in(if I can fine a dry one) until I get my own place... My roommate is gonna be so ticked when he finds out I had a spill, well, he might not find out unless it marks the ceiling or wall underneath...

I hope that was just 2 a.m. talk. This build has been fun to watch.

Sadly, it has to go, the roommates are less than happy, and they don't want another accident or massive spill! Seriously, I live in a small loft, no room to do anything, or not always having the correct tools to do the job.

Yes it has been fun, and it is disheartening knowing I have to leave the hobby once again. Thankfully I have the support of my fiancee who was quick to say that once we get out own place, a reef will thrive again!
