    Time for an update. It's been a couple months since I posted any pics and of course there's been a few changes.

    New Quite One 6000 return pump also running a Phosban Reactor 150 and fuge. I looped it like so to reduce GPH to DT, so my overflow can keep.

    Added a filter sock back for 2 important reasons that I couldn't get around. First was pieces of cheato fouling my skimmer every few days. This was driving me crazy. Second is micro bubbles, now I have the skimmer, overflow and reactor effluents going into one sock where no bubbles can escape. DT looks much better.

    New conch shell with orange zoas, GSP and a single Ric. Gonna be real nice in a year.

    Sold my Derasa and torch to a friend because it tripled in size in 6 months, and my tank is too small for 3 euphyllia's.

    And I finally epoxyed a few corals into their permanent homes.

    Thanks.

    It's been holding good for about 7 months now.

    I wish I could rename this thread. I think it's under thread tools but I can't find the edit option.

    Crab has been in there about 3 months and the clown about 3 weeks, so far so good.

    I just saw a 1 inch pistol shrimp molt float by! The pistol claw was clearly there. I haven't a pistol shrimp since December '09, so I guess this little hitchhiker came in months ago in it's larval stage. Sorry no pic.
