This is a tempoary link to a site that I am testing a few different live cam viewers. If you go to this link, click on the java viewer for the second camera. (600 Gallon Reef - Hi-res camera). This will give a better shot of the new tank.

You can take your own picture with the snap shot viewer on the left.....

That is the Dussimer tang in the pictures. He is one of my favorites. It is a green bulb anemone in the picture.

If you are at the link, you are watching live video..I just have to remember the cameras are on 24/7 and comb my hair before I feed the fish....

I do not quarantine the fish. It is a risk in not doing. I probably should do it.

What kind of tang is that? Also what kind of anemone?

I goofed... I under estimated the cooling capacity of the 2 Current Prime chillers I had built in the system. The lighting, along with the equipment below the tank was more than the chillers could handle. With all of the light on, the chillers were barely able to keep the tank at 80 degrees. They were running most of the time with all of the lights on. I decided to replace them with a single 1HP chiller from Tradewinds. Plumbing the new chiller was fairly easy since every thing had been plumbed with unions. It was a matter of adding a little spa flex to reach the chiller. Because of its size, the chiller will not fit under the tank so was placed next to the stand. The good news is with all of the lights on, the chiller runs about 30 minutes to take the tank back down to 75 degrees when it hit the 1 degree differential. It's a 230 volt model and should save me some money in the long run.

This has got to be the most insane tank build post i have encountered. Either you mortgaged your house to do this or I need a career change. And I own a

company.
This is impressive :jumping: :scared: :jumping: :scared:
