    Re: My 72 mixed no SPS.

    Haha I caught him out of some mangroves along with glass minnows that I fed to my nems. He's meant for my LTA but now I can't catch him, and he's kinda aggressive. I'll get him one day....

    Hello Everyone,

    I've done a little work and made a few new additions. I never really loved my remote circular fuge with an overflow box going back to the return area, so I yanked it out, whipped out the drill and hole saw, and installed this 8 gallon rectangular trash can with a proper bulkhead fitting. I'll add some kitty litter soon..

    Also, I scored some sweet zoas from Coral Morphologic this week.
    3 Polyps - Lime Gold-Dust Galaxy Lotus Eaters (Ultra Rare) and 1 Polyp - Purple People Eater. They look so much better than these pics. The boys also threw in a 6 polyp blue with chocolate fringe freebie, thanks again.

    Got a white with blue tips Sebae last week. I know these aren't meant to be hardy, but it was at my LFS for a awhile under a single white light, so I'm confident it will color up and do well in my tank.

    Thanks to Otty for hooking me up with this very practical 8 channel switch board, it's exactly what I needed.

    Hope Y'all Enjoy

    i really like this tank alot. Awesome set up and i love your selection of livestock. i'm also looking into purchasing a predrilled 72 gal bowfront, and starting a reef tank with it. (i'm sick of my little 24 gal nano cube haha)

    Thanks, predrilled next time for me, those damn overflows are way too big...:confused:

    Knowing what I know now, I'd get a 2x2x4 or 6.

    I might build something different for the DJ 8 Ch, but for now that little bracket will work.

    So nice being able to individually control all of my gear now.:)

    Last night my single Purple People Eater polyp broke free of its plug and is now missing. Major bummer...... I hope it attaches in a lighted area and starts growing.
