Dang man that looks great! I really like the rock the way it is! How do you like the wavebox and the ATO? Tunze makes some great products!

Hey J if you need any help give me a call! Great Buy man!

• Looking good! Lets see some more pics!

There are alot of options out there. As you have stated is really depends on what you want to spend, and what you plan to keep. Wave box help give the corals and fish the natural flow they are used to. If you dont want to spend that kinda money you dont have to. Tons of people have just bought acouple hydro's and keep corals just like the people who have spent the money on the more high dollar equipment. Im always more parinoid about water quality than anything else. As long as you have a decent amount of flow you will be fine JMO!

They are Hamilton magnetic ballast. Thanks for the link!

Dustin

LOL! You have no idea how mad my wife was after we got it in the house!

Ok time for a little update. I have got the tank full of water and most of my rock work done, Im not sure if anyone is ever really done aquascaping in this hobby! LOL! Anywayz I have been working on the canopy and getting my lighting figured out. One of my 400w ballast isnt working, so I will have to buy a new one or find parts for the one I have. The skimmer is working great! I am feeding it off of my overflow, so 1 less pump to worry about. I will get to the good part now. Here are a few pics. Sorry they are from my cell phone!

Thanks for looking!

IMO I would go a different route. $300 will get you a new skimmer with all the goodies. I would check out a new MSX or SWC.

They are good skimmers, but you are paying alot of extra money for the name..... JMO.

They are very nice units! I would use them if they would come down on the price. The non directional flow is the real deal killer for me.

I dont think its worth the money at all if you are already running a wave box. I would stick with a couple of Hydors #3 or #4 or maybe the modded Tunze 6025's. JMO.

Yellow watchman is a great fish! They are not sandsifters but they do pair well with pistol shrimp.

O and another fish thought.... how about other tangs??? I really like the PBT and the gold rim tangs.

Maybe a trio of Anthias? Also with all of the nice acans you have in your tank I would strongly advise that you DO NOT put any sandsifters in your tank!!! I have had them and they are a PITA!!! They keep the sand looking great, but they cover EVERYTHING in sand. Ive had them completely burry acans overnight and losed them.

Dustin

Vortech's??? What about the wave box?

Getting my new tank filled and aquascaping done!

Looking for sand for my new tank. Live, dead, new, used, or if you could point me in the right direction for some good prices somewhere that would be great too!!!

Thanks

Dustin

_{I dont have a holesaw for a 1'' bulkhead. I can get them for 3/4 and 1.5'' sorry! They are only $15 online.}

Hey Clint! Man I still love your tank! Got a quick question, what kind of anthias do you have?

Dustin

Yes I know someone who does..... Im not sure of the size. What size bulkhead are you drilling for? Im in Killeen/ Ft. Hood aera so it would be a bit of a drive for you.

Is a Bio Cube glass? I thought they were plastic?

It sold already. I would go with the MSX or SWC. JMO!

Im thinking about a reef cam on the new tank. I like how Andrew has his setup! Just looking for some info on equipment and setup instructions.

Thanks

Dustin

Yep thats the one I plan to use.

The tank has been tested! NO LEAKS! I will let it sit for 2 more day to be sure. The plan is to get it set in place this weekend. I hope to have it filled with water, rock, and sand by the July 4!!!! I will get some pics once it is moved into the house. Thanks for all the great feedback eveyone!

Ill take a MH bulb. PM me your info and a good time to pick it up please.

Thanks

Dustin

Oh and Im guessing he meant $140 for the package deal?

Hey Daniel! Im planning to use a Tunze 6100. I have seen alot of them in action, and they seem to work very well. I dont like bubles, so a surge device is outta the questions. Thanks for the link I always enjoy reading new DIY's!
