Extending the lip I think would be a good idea. Those HOB filters are good for water clarity. If you get tired of replacing cartridges you can pick up some of that blue and white bulk filter pad at a LFS. Any pictures of the sump set up?

Those Rapid LEDs are catching on around town. Those are probably one of the very few LEDs I've seen actually enhance color and not just make corals fluoresce. Cree LEDs have been getting very good reviews. They were my first choice but the fixture I have now was just more convinient.

Quality is not great. Used camera in my phone.

I just recently started a little project with LEDs in a 29 gl tank. I picked an Ecoxotic Panorama Pro II retro fit and suspended over my tank. I have a few SPS and softies that seem to be ok. Its still a bit early. Tank has only been running with corals for about a week. My only concern at this point is that without proper actinic lighting my SPS will brown out eventually. I'll post a few pics and will def. be following this thread. Oh, my tank is going through its brown algae stage, hope ya'll dont mind the diatoms everyhere .

Calcium Based Macro Algae, not bad, looks cool in bunches if you can grow it out.

Yea, the power cord for the fan can be purchased seperately.

Looks like I will be going the HO t5 route. Will no longer be using this MH fixture. Its a Coralife hang on back 150 watt metall halide lamp. In really good condition, but will need a new bulb. Has one now that fires up fine but does need a swap. Does not come with the the fan power cord. Asking $100 for it.

I was at Chads place and got to see their zoas under the blue LEDs. I was genuenly impressed. Let me tell you I have NEVER seen corals florece the way I have under this light. It takes a lot to impress me now a days. Working where I do I get to see a lot of things come and go and get bored w/ the see things day after day. Seing this I gained some motivation........
-
What you probably seing is a spooked or stressed fish. They can lay flat on their side like wrasses and other laterally compressed fish.
-
Look at that, your own little biotope. Thats pretty cool.
-
Thanks for the rics. They looks great!
-
and I do feed "frozen" foods but theyre never frozen going in the tank. I agree feeding foods that are still blocks of ice is never a good idea. I know a lot of folks that do, take that extra couple minutes to thaw....

At the moment mine are eating PE mysis and grass shrimp. I see the issue with the waste produced but Im pretty sure theres ways to deal w/ that. Yea they are not grazers but neither are hundreds of other fish we keep that still produce a ton of waste. I dont see how thats an issue when there is 100g+ mixed reef tanks loaded w/ larger fish that dont graze and still more that contribute to the waste load. It may not be the ideal thing to do but its doable. Ive seen some impressive reef tanks w/ predators that are pretty succelful. I think Volitans get way to big and just a little too lazy for my taste.
-
+1 on the fuzzy. I have kept others before and I'll have to say fuzzies are probably the most active Lions I've had. They do have plenty of personality. They are NOT agressive fish, they dont come at you TRYING to sting ya. Theyre just little predators. I really like that they do come out during the day......
-
Yea maroons will do that, but they take super good care of the nems once they take to it. Usually keepingin clowns within the same species work ok in a big enough tank. Ive tried keeping Tomato, Maroon, Clarkii, and Ocellaris in a 90gl and it didnt go so well. Black Ocellaris, Onyx, Percs, Naked, ect.. can usually kept in the same tank and even pair up. Its doable just keep an eye on em. Theres always exceptions, everyone has a diifferent story to tell. It varies from case to case......
