There's nothing in it but rock and I'm already jealous! Very nice. I can't wait to see how it looks in a few months!

Do you ever clean your substrate on your frag tank? Can you describe how you maintain you frag tank? Thanks!

No, I never clean any of my sand in any of my tanks. My pods/critters and other infauna keeps it clean naturally. I have snails in there as well. My frag tank is basically just a 20 gal with LS and egg crate that runs off of the sump of my main system (which has my skimmer, Ca Reactor and Macro algae). I drilled the 20 and put in a Bulkhead overflow and I just use a Mag 5 to pump water out of the sump of my main system up to the 20g frag tank then it flows back down via the bulkhead to the sump. This is what it looked like when I set it up. The PVC pipe goes down to the Mag 5 in the sump & the overflow is on the back left wall. I have a 250w HQI DE MH fixture over the tank

Hey Mike,
Thank very much for setting those aside for me!!! I really appreciate it!!!! Since we will be there all day, is it OK if you leave them in your tank until after? Maybe on the way home Jeff and I could follow you home tomorrow and he could see your tank and I could pick them up then? If not no big deal either! Just let know? Thanks again very much for keeping them this long and giving them too me!!!!!

cimpow137 & spsaddict,
Thank you guys very much!!! I am probably going to restack them a little to spread them a little wider than they are now. I want to try to open up the space between the rocks a little for better water movement! Since it is going to be a SPS tank there will be a ton of flow and if the rock structure is too tight you don't get as good oxygenation as you need. Thanks again!
