Sweet thanks all.

Wondering if there is any soft coral (xenia or Colt - for example) that could live well in a 75g fowlr running 4x65 PC lights (2 - 10k, 2 - Actinic, + lunars)? Looking to spice up my Dragon Moray Eel tank, only other fish in the tank are a few damsels. Any suggestions welcomed.

My rarest SW is my 30" DME. My rarest FW is my 15" Widebar Datnoid, no longer imported.

I'll take him, where are you in MD? I'm near BWI. I can pick him up this Sat, send me a PM.

All depends on the size of your tank: Green Chromis - 3" Blue Reef Chromis - 5" Bannerfish - 9.8" Porkfish - 15" Lookdowns - 16" Tuna - lol, nevermind..getting silly now. My personal Fav would be the Blue Reef's as you don't see them that often and they get a little size to them. But I'd be...

Originally Posted by spanko Great idea here. http://www.critter-cages.com/index.p...d74df064e63ee0 Don't think that is the one. I believe iron eagle was refering to these (basically) acrylic tanks. http://www.zilla-rules.com/products/critter-cages.htm

As I plan another big tank I have found myself considering paint the back black to hide algae and crud. But it's one of those once you do it there is no undoing it things. From the people here that have done it would you do it again, Pros or Cons to speak of? Would you do it again? Just hard...

Originally Posted by spanko Just be careful here. There are food grade plastics for a reason. Plastics are not equal. A valid concern and since there is no real way of knowing maybe buying a small acrylic tank and drilling hole in it with a circle saw and drill would work just as good without...

Originally Posted by small triggers the corrugated pipe, like the stuff from HD for drainage, will leach. It is covered in petroleum based plastic and you can def. smell it. My best guess is if it smells plasticy(?) its got to much petroleum in it. So PVC pipe then. It's just so hard to hide...

Maybe even strape some of that new Fake Live Rock to the sides of crate to keep the overall weight down.

VERY Rough sketch of what I'm taking about doing. Imagine it in a 180g (72x24x24). So massive centerpiece rock structure and a reef edge down either side over the pipe. Cave opening everywhere the pipe and crate open. But enough rock to completely cover any visible signs of pipe or crate.

I was also thinking about coming off either side of the main rock cave with long 2-3' runs of this pipe on either side of the tank. 4" Solid Corrugated Pipe. I would also 1/2 way down cut a 4" circle hole out and pile rocks over it to completely cover it. Again to protect from collapses...
