120 upgrade

I had one befor he was fine till all the aptasia was gone then he just started losing weight.

They say the trick is target feeding them because they will not eat in a with the other fish. vary passive fish. So if he starts to get skiny Ill move him to the fuge to faten him up. I am also going to try clam to feed him no one else but my eal eats clam and hes in a different tank

Here is a nother video

I see your maroon took a liking to the smaller one, are they both yellowstriped?

ya, they do not get there yellow till they mature some. My LFS Is great at getting yelow ones from a reliable dealer. He has started to show a hint of yellow in the front stripe today its is hard to see in a pic

I will Be using a post in Reef forum Now that it is mostly built For livestock and coral updates:

I will post build updates here though Like the doors and any other add ons

Ok did it I added a upper fuge too. I will get some algae to put in there from a frinds tank soon. Here is a Pic. The pump is hid in overflow box. It only holds about 1.5 gallons and with the ball valve it is just above a trickle back into the tank. Should be a pod producing little place

Hey Mech! quick Q's for ya... Are the overflows and returns all drilled through the bottom of the tank, and are the returns going up through the overflow boxes? +1 did you put a top on your stand (plywood, etc...)? I like the openess of your stand. It seems like all the store-bought stands are never what I really want. Thanks for any help and advise.

Stand top pic I uses the same 1x10 and 1x12 to make the top it is how I hold the light and help control evaporation the best i can. It is also a nice shelf to hold the ballest up out of the way

not to mention I need somthing sturdy to hold the Hinge.
here is a DIY on just the hood Build
Hope this helps
