    So I finally have water and rock in and plumbing done. I plan on doing a pair of designer clowns, and a couple of BTAs and maybe a long tentacle anemone our tube. The tank it's lit by two kessil 150 (sky blue) I will move heater to the sump later, but for now it is in the display.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    I think the scape will be a good layout for anemones. What type of designer clowns?

    Looking good. I like that scape alot. If you don't go the anemone route that big rock on top will make a nice home for some fuzzy sticks.

    I have always wanted a pair of black ice clowns or a black ocellaris and a snowflake paired to breed my own. I hope the anemones leave the rocks on top alone so I can add a few sticks to them, I drilled a few holes for frag plugs when I put them together.

    I love designer clowns and anemones so I'm loving your tank idea! Interesting scape, looks cool. I've always wanted to delve into breeding also but my black and white pair have yet to lay eggs :(

    I am not trying to breed them but if it happens I want it to be something I want and can sell. I have been looking at some really awesome ($$$) BTAs WOW!

    I have a Colorado sunburst nem that is just incredible. I'm really hoping it clones.

    It was in the front of my tank for months and just last week if started to roam and has now taken up residence in the back of my tank almost hidden from view.

    Ok so we all know the new "low price" on the Ecotech vortechs, I need one but I do not know if I should go with the mp10 or mp40. I don't plan on keeping any SPS. I don't want to spend the extra $$ for a mp40 if I will just have to dial it back. Does anyone have either pump on a 40B?
