Timfish

It's a good example of an aquarium adapted species.  Back in the 90's it was often difficult to keep and articles were written on how to best keep it alive.  The clone line I have was originally collected by the Smithsonian.  Seagrest Farms outside of Tampa FL, acquired colonies in the late 80s and I got my initial colonies in the late '90s.  And have pretty much been throwing it away ever since. :D

I'll have something too, but still have to decide what.  If anyone wants free Xenia let me know.

Looking forward to meeting you Molly! 

Nice looking LT anemone!

Cool!  Thank you for hosting!  1:00 PM is perfect.   Looking forward to seeing everyone!   

Best bet is to get something to eat them (my preference are berghia).  I've tried all the commercial products with only limited success.  I've even pulled out rocks and scrubbed them out of hiding holes using small brushes and hydrogen peroxide only to have them pop back up after a week or so, albiet much smaller. 

I don't have any at the moment, but I always get hem from Salty Underground when I need them.

Edit:  Looks like they're out of stock at the moment.

Nice fish!  It does sound like it's highly likely it's a male from what you described.

Nice comparison!  FWIW ours eyes are more sensitive to green light than blue, outside of the quality issue the oddysea lights may be fine for a lot of corals.  (And I was pondering your preferance of MH over LEDs and it's kinda like my liking my old 6.2 diesel over my friend's model Y )

Nice!  A lot cheaper than an Apex.

Nice!  Real clean organized layout. 

   Raising them up should brighten up the dark area that can be seen between them.

Keep in mind your sailfin will likely get over a foot long.    

For your canopy, I've always thought the clamshell design works well.  Lights can be mounted up high so with the cover open there's easy access.

This build thread is locked.  You can follow Grog's systems in his new build thread and his 40 gallon below:

Bad pics are good!     In a few months once the ecosystem stabalizes in your "Heavy" build the before and after pics will help show how things can improve. 

It would be awkward using a drill press on a tank and messy running water to keep the bit cool.  I've used wood jigs in the past and they're certainly easy to make but there's been enough of a gap with diamond bits there can still be a bit of an angle.  Drilling from both sides has given the best results but there's no room to do that in this tank.  Drilling real slow also works better but I get impatient :/

2nd attempt, no issues cutting the glass but I did torque the hole saw drilling one hole.  That's a problem I've had drilling the thinner glass on smaller tanks.  It seems to happen just as the bit starts to cut through the glass.

You're Welcome!  Looking forward to your build thread! :D

Yes we can, although it would be van to truck. :D

And it's available again.

(I'm guessing you're in the doghouse by yourself and your dogs are in the house with your wife?  )

1 Pending.

Correction, system includes the Red Sea fixture that attaches to the guide slots on the tank.
