    Great job George. That looks so similar to mine except it's portable, where mine's attached to the floor, wall & ceiling.

    Need to catch a very timid 5" hippo tang

    I just had to pull all my LR out to catch fish. If you can do it and if you wanted to rework the rock, then that might be the easiest. A bottle trap did work for my wrasse tho.

    MH what do I need?

    My tank is a 90, 48Lx18Wx24H so pretty close to yours. I run (2) 250 Watt 20K's and they've been working great. I have more LPS and only a few SPS. I even kept blue maximas and a crocea clam on the sand with no problems. You could also look into 400 Watts, I've seen people run them on these...

    Overflow location suggestions

    It's setup just like mine, viewable from left side and front. I have the overflow on right side and return coming in from left. You might want to bump the return pump size up. I had a mag 7 on my smaller tank and it didn't move much water after the head loss. I'm currently using a mag 9.5...

    Overflow location suggestions

    Agree with dppitone, it's probably a matter of preference. I have a 4' with the same height and width and my overflow if on the side and the return's on the other side. I've seen tanks with the two layouts you've got mentioned above and then seem fine. Do you have an idea of how you want to...

    Hydor Koralia "Evolution" Flow Pump

    I never had any issue with the red peg and the powerhead. Mine never came out. If it's loose, I suppose cement or superglue might hold it. The pivot end is in the magnet, that's the end I wouldn't cement.

    Tank not cycling

    Sounds odd that the ammonia would drop without any increase in either NO2 or NO3. From my experience the Ammonia drops and the NO2 starts to rise. If the NO2 is still 0, sounds like you're still waiting for the ammonia bacteria to build up. It sounds like you're doing everything right, just...

    Is there any Nitrite reading? How about Nitrate?

    Keeping damsel

    The only damsel I kept with my other fish was an Azure damsel. He was very mild temper, as I've heard the yellow tails are too. I cycled my 1st tank, probably 10 years ago, with 4 damsels. I had (1) Domino, (1) striped and (2) blue devils. The domino and striped had to go as soon as the...

    Tank not cycling

    I think more information might be needed to determine where you're at in your cycle. Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate levels. My initial tank took maybe 6 - 8 weeks to fully cycle. Never seemed like it was ever going to complete.

    Saddest day of my reefkeeping existance

    Sorry to hear about that.

    Really interesting tank

    Yeah, definitely a crazy size. Way too tall and slim to do much with. A little fatter and less tall would make it a perfect size, IMO.

    I had one that liked to munch on zoas. But I believe that's not the norm.

    Acans not inflating

    I have mine on the bottom, but they're under MH's. If they haven't inflated, try moving them and see what happens.
