Todd's ~ 320 Gallon System- A New Biginning?

I'm really loving the volume! Water that is.
My DT increased water by more than 50%, while my sump increased by 300%!

I did alot of rearranging of coral yesterday and rocks. I got some big rocks (I know, you're thinking yea, in my head! LOL)
I'm loving the new sump(my former 125g DT) and all the room, etc.
MY former 125 w/ DIY overflow was fairly quiet-
but now my 180 drilled with C2C overflow is virually silent.

I'm still on the fence about keeping the back wall and overflow clean however.
So far, I've cleaned it once and realize how this will acually be a lot of work.
I will probably do like I did on my 125g, and let the back wall ride and only clean the front and sides as I did before.
Still not sure about the back wall thing.

 

My newest 'Tank Gang' member, my Desjardini Tang,
goes along well with my large Regal Blue Tang, and my fairly large Yellow Tang:


And of course, a FTS:

 

gorgeous new fish Todd!

 

Thank you OFK, I really lucked out, a fellow reefer, one of the ones who helped with the transfer- raised it since very small, and then it was picking on others in his 120, so he had it in his smaller refugium- for a meesely $40(what he said he paid for it), I got it and three other really nice frags, including a really nice orange Ric.

 

wow! you are the deal maker Todd! you got a beautiful specimen that's for sure! I have always found that type of tang to be very hardy.

 

Day 18 in the 180

Looks great todd. You can really tell how much coral you have now in this tank. I think the background on the old tank kinda hid alot of your corals be cause they blended in. Looking good my man.

 

Thanks, I actually had traded off at least 4 large colonies the day before the transfer too.
I'm still tweaking the scape, but really happy so far.

 

Day 28, all is well except my large neon Orange Monti has a receding spot that is receding fast. I'm going to get out my dremel and attempt to cut it out today.






I want more Corralline/purple Algae!!

 

Looks great Todd! Told you I would stop by.
