Nice tank! I love that angel! Just be careful they can get pretty big and will eventually outgrow your tank.

Yeh I'm pretty sure its not a fang blenny. I was pretty scared when he bit me cus hes never done that before.

So I noticed that one of my frags fell off a rock into the back of the tank and I went to reach for it, and the next thing I know my blenny jolts forward and bites my hand. Is this normal and will I be ok? I don't have any cuts or anything from it and I'm not exactly sure what kind of blenny...

You don't have to drill the tank. Just use an overflow box and run all of the piping over and into the tank. You won't have to empty out your tank or anything.

Make sure that you use all three of the PVC glues and not just the cement. I just used the cement and not the cleaner, and primer and I ended up with a bunch of leaks.

UPDATE: I just ordered a 20lb bag of sand online. It should get here in about a week. Does anyone have any advice on how to add it to the tank without getting it really cloudy?

Watts per gal is NOT what you should go by. You should go by how deep your tank is and then pick a light system that will be able to penetrate the tank.

T-5s or metal halides would be best incase you ever want corals or an anemone. I personally prefer metal halides because of the shimmering and more natural look.

I might get another clown in hopes that they will mate and make baby clownfish, but I don't know anything about mating clownfish so I'll see. The sandbed isn't much it's just like 1/4". I'm gonna get another 20lb bag to even everything out. That'll give me like an 1" sandbed. Also, my clown has...

A tomini bristletooth tang might work. They only grow up to 4-5".

So I just finished transfering everything over. It took about 3 hours to do. It would have been alot quicker if I didn't have to scrape all of the rocks down. All of the fish and corals are doing great and it doesn't look like I lost anything. Heres some pics of the end result: FTS Another FTS...

Sorry that I havent really posted many pics recently, I haven't got any good pics with my camera. Anyway everything is working great. The sump pump is working fine. I checked my parameters and it looks like I'm going to do the switch today. Heres the parameter results: Salinity-1.024 Ammonia-0...

vinegar soak then scrape with a razor blade. Just be careful around the silicone seal.

Looks like its gonna be a nice tank whens everythings setup! Can't wait to see it! You aren't going to have to cycle the new tank, as long as the old tank has a descent amount of LR that is cured. Just fill up the tank with RO or RO/DI water mixed with salt, and then transfer everything over...

I just figured out how to open up the pump, I cleaned it out and now it works like a charm!
