Well, I guess it doesn't matter. I just don't want to build it wrong. I have placed a couple orders, so they should arrive in 5-7 days. I dry fitted everything. I just have to cut the pvc pipe, and get it to the right spots. I might have to buy more elbows. So far though it is looking good. I...

Thanks Sip, I am not used to losing fish. The algae is better imo.

Ok, another question. I probably should of drilled the return a little more to the right because it doesnt come down exactly to where it needs to be. So, I can either move the sump to the right or left inside the stand, which makes either the overflow or the return need several elbows to get to...

Oh yeah lol. I have already bought 4 big bottles of it. I have a whole tote full of extra rock that I have decided not to use in the 180g right now. Maybe never.... So, that is the plan then....

I think I will. I might spritz it with peroxide, scrub it, then use it. Just to be safe. I could also add some good bacteria in there too to help it cycle. ;)

I have kept it in the dark for a long time now. No signs of any algae on it at all. I have several nice pieces I could use. ;)

Ok, I was gonna purchase real reef (man made rock) for this tank, would cost me 200 that includes shipping, but was wondering what I could do with the rock I still have left over from the 180g. I currently have it sitting in a bin of saltwater with a pump and heater. Should I bleach it? Peroxide...

Thanks Nova. Still no sign of them today either. But, I can say that the algae is so much better. I had to do a couple things, which I will not elaborate on, to the rocks, and I started trying the spot treatment in some areas, and I can safely say, I see a major improvement. The sand bed only...

That makes sense. Will do. Once it arrives lol. The heater is gonna be a jager 75w submersible. I would like to put it in the return pump section, but I guess it could go wherever.....

Ok, so the footprint of the bh50 is 5.1 by 5.5. I guess the first section of the sump will have to be 6 instead of the 5 like in your pic Seth. Sound right? Or go bigger?

Thanks Meowzer. I was hoping they were just hiding for a little bit. But no.... I am gonna wait awhile, but I want to add a couple new fish in the future. I will wait and fix the algae first, then decide. I am not sure it will be anthias or not. They are so pretty and colorful though.....

Well, I removed the rock they always hid under, and they are not there. Nor did they come out to feed tonight again. So, I guess they are officially gone. They both had been doing fine, so I can't understand this unless it was indeed aggression from the flame angel......

The tank looks great seth! Your daughter is adorable. My step grandson loves the tanks!! I'll tell him to say hi to nemo, and he'll wave and say "emo" LOLOL. They are something!!!

Thanks. I am only gonna grow chaeto, so no sand. I did notice some of the edges are quite sharp! The hubby should have some sandpaper laying around here somewhere.......

I should have some painters tape here somewhere. This is how I was gonna do the baffles, The 1st one will be all the way to the bottom, 3/4 inch away the next one will be 1 inch off the bottom then 3/4 in away the third one will be all the way on the bottom again. Then the final one will spaced...

I decided on the reef octopus bh50. Only because it is a known brand and has a warranty. Well, I just got home, I got my baffles from lowes!!! I got 4 of them, 9 3/4 by 7.5. I also bought the aquarium sealer. The aqueon brand is the only one they had in stock. I have to use a caulking gun with...

My anthias still haven't come out of hiding. When the lights went out last night, the shrimp went to the rock and started going under it for some reason. Nitrates are back up to 20. I might have to take that rock out and search for dead fish today ;(

Ok, so the water level for the octopus skimmer should be 7-7.5". I can finally go get the baffles today. ;)

I have the coralife pureflo II, 4 stage. Had it for years.
