Nice!

Oh and nice job on the DIY scrubber.

It was a family biz, the taxidermy, IIRC. And as with many people working in the fam....it had its drawbacks. Last I heard was about a year ago also, but then again I'm not often on these boards anymore, either. Speaking of which, where's Flower?

All serpent stars are opportunistic carnivores, but it's true that red serpent stars are usually less of a threat to fish than green demons. That said, if yours is as big as you say, I wouldn't be surprised if it snuck up on the fish overnight. Was the wrasse acting sick in any way, was it...

How new is the tank? Chaeto needs nutrients to grow; in a nutrient poor aquarium those ingredients may be hard for the plant to absorb. Do you have current readings for your phosphate or nitrate? What about the rest of your system - are you using a protein skimmer or phosban reactor...

Yeah, that's poor advice. First of all, it depends on your lighting scheme. What are you using for your tank lights? Montis as a rule do NOT like high light, they do best in mid-level lighting conditions. When they get pale like that it's usually a sign that something about their...

tank looks good though. Personally I'd do a light blue background if you don't like darker, but hey...it's your tank!

I just picked up a 50W LED grow light, hopefully it will improve chaeto growth as well

Looks very nice! I just set up a 65 in my new house; it's a GREAT tank size, isn't it?

Congrats on the closing! Can't wait to see pics of the tank and wall unit in the final resting place

As they say....all good things must come to an end. A little bittersweet, but time to move on. Time to hit up Craigslist!

Updating because we're coming to a big close here. It's been almost 6 years since this tank's been up and running in this house. But it's time to come down. Next weekend, we're tearing it down.

great lights!

looks nice. I'm guessing people don't scroll down this far very often anymore, do they. :-)

I know a woman who had her sump system set up outside in an enclosed shed, but she was from central Cali and the weather was a little more moderate. Outside sumps can be done but they require a lot of planning. I would if I could, but my south florida sunshine would boil the tank. :-)

Take it from a guy who has a 29g sump. They STINK when it comes to maintenance in the sump!! Honestly. I have a similar issue as you do -- door to the sump is such that I have to bend my arm at angles God never intended if I need to do anything productive....and as for the skimmer, since it...

Well, my first thought is welcome, and my second thought is where the heck are the pictures! :-D Other than that, I'd say absolutely you can do a beautiful SW tank, either reef or FOWLR, in a 36g tank. Just take a little time to read up and refresh yourself on the new things people are doing...

I would second the recommendation of building a bigger sump. That way you could design it the way YOU want it. a standard 20g tank for a sump is a tad small. If you can swing a 30 gallon breeder under your tank (36l, 18w, 12h) you'll be in much better position to get some additional...

Welcome back! I still lurk here, post occasionally!

I got a few fish photos from tonight as well. First, the clown goby: The Lineatus: Golden Rhomboid Red Velvet Radiant wrasse Clowns in their zoas Red Firefish And lastly, the clown goby again. Because he's cute!
