    You could:)

    The Wisconsin Reef Society will again hold a frag swap with other clubs at Discovery World in Milwaukee in early fall/ late summer, if you don't find a reason to get down here before then. :)

    Well I finally have my calcium reactor dialed in now.

    These parameters have been stable for close to a week now.

    Calcium 420
    Alk 10.4
    ph 8.2

    That's good because I will be adding more clams and some more SPS frags soon.

    So Tomorrow and Monday I need to construct my wrasse fence. I have plastic gutterguard screening, and I think I will make a frame of firing strips or I might use 1/2" PVC. The PVC would be easier, and look better probably. i am thinking of using zip ties to hold the screening to the PVC.

    Anybody else with ideas?

    Well, here is what I accomplished. Not perfect, but it will work. I did not glue any of the cpvc, so I can redo whatever I want easily.

    Before I got the screening up..

    And finished..

    The front has the t5ho reflectors so close to the edge that nothing can jump out, but this all will change once I get my lighting suspended form the I beam and on a light rail like Anthony has for easy access.
