From iPhone. Will take a better one when have time.

Tank is going through a small cycle after adding the rocks I picked up from salty. Thinking maybe some of the sponges died off, everything's still doing awesome, just getting algae all over glass.

Update. Have changed layout since last photo, and then today I extended a shelf out further to try some new sps cuts up high to see what colours look like.

Looks like quite the setup!  How is that red planet like tabler doing, I think I see it there at the back - looks like it is getting some green to it?

Yea things are all doing well. I am going to be re arranging all the racking once I draw something up that I know will work better. The tabling acro would be that bring green one in middle back, base is super green, and where it is starting to branch out is getting to be a deep red. Once I can cut a shoot off of it I would like to try it high up to see what colours come out. My fave piece is that red convexa I got off you. Picture doesn't do colours justice, but ill take one later.

Cleaned up tank a little bit, removed some powerheads and added a nano wavebox. Thanks Blob.


I thought video from Iphone would be better then this....

Loving it so far. Thanks to Duke for helping me via online tech support get my wave going. Haha helps when the wavebox is not upside down

ya, they are tough to get tuned, theres not much room for adjustment, its either wave or no wave pretty much, I really like the wave box, if i ever have the chance to do a custom tank in a wall i will be including external waveboxes and just using a controllable tunze pump in the external box, so all you see is the grill from the pump in the tank. Your tanks looking awesome man.

Happy with the new wavebox so far. I'm looking to maximize my skimmer a bit more as I know the previous owner used a mag18 for just the skimmer, and I am using using that same pump as my return. Now I'm looking for a new return pump.

40 gallon breeder, 1.5" drain, tanks around 4 feet high.

Looking for suggestions.
