[ricks280]

many thanks guys for your comments .
bill, yes it is a closed loop running twin dart sequence pumps rated at 13000 litres p/h each
as far as the sand bed it varies in depth some at half inch and up to two and a half.
have to get more lr but my lfs its getting a bit salty with his prices you would think that after all the $ his allready got from me he would at least give 2 boxes at cost price hey?
anyway what i might do is get some base rock and it should seed in a couple of months.
take care guys and ill keep you posted! (rick)
p.s. i was thinking of getting a copper band b/f. dont know much about the feeding (

)habits so if anybody has one please let me know.

copperband will wipe out feather dusters and lps i think (bubble corals,hammers,ect......) other than that they eat brine mysis,and i have seen a few who ate flakes. very cool fish tho

Wow, that is awesome. Do you have access to the back of the tank, like a room behind it or anything? Did you build the stand & canopy for it? Its truly beautiful. Im planning on setting a system up sililar to that when I move into my new house next spring. I may try to pick your brain a bit about it later on if you dont mind. :happyfish
