So we're finally wet.......awesome job tiff

my main recirculation pump - reefflow 4300 leaked from shaft seal for the first 2 days (just dripped) so it's installed by sitting in a 9x13 baking pan - but it quit and has not leaked anything in 9 months now. Wow - I never fixed the other leaks as fast as you did...it took a couple days to ensure the 475 was tight down below... keep us posted!!
tr
yea after i let it run for a few the leak stopped on the pump...but I have a lid under it just in case!!

[tiffanyk]

need to add more sand, and new lights still. Still a bit cloudy!

Riser blocks for something, skimmer perhaps? They look pretty clean in the picture, can you tell if they have been in water before?

Honestly you cant even tell the tank has had water in it...These pieces have no trace of being in water. So idk.

Its good to see you around again! And thanks =)

Thx, good to be able to come back! So whats your time line on getting fish in this tank? I'm betting your triggers are wanting to make the switch to a bigger home!!!!!!!!

 

[tiffanyk]

I'm probably going to cycle for 6 weeks...sooooo gonna be a bit.

 

[tiffanyk]

It's amazing standing in my living room..the only thing you hear is the 155 tank. The 400 is super quiet.

Just read this thread! Super exciting build! I thought I'd put my vote in for fish while I am here

- Marbled bamboo sharks only need a min. of 250 gal
- Banded cat sharks only need a min. of 180 gal
- Coral cat sharks only need a min. of 150 gal.
So if you were still thinking about a shark (Which you should be! =P) these are some cool ones, plus the bamboo and cat are relatively cheap!
- I would definitely go with the achilles tang! They're super gorgeous! and good pick on the queen angel!
- How do you feel about lionfish? They have great personalities!
- Blonde naso tang?
- Rectangle triggerfish
- Golden heart triggerfish? (Kind of pricey but absolutely gorgeous!)
- Blue line triggerfish
- Lei triggerfish
Okay lol I think that's enough reading material! Just thought for your tank any of these would be great!

Thank you for your picks!! I heard that the lionfish is bad to have with triggers but that's just what i've heard. Naso is on my list of fishies to get! I love your choice of triggers i will have to check out the Lei trigger!

You know i've never been a puffer fish fan (say that ten times fast) but the Golden Puffer is absolutely gorgeous! I saw a really large one at a LFS and it made me start thinking of getting one!
