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

Wow, what a nice compliment, I'm actually really humbled by that.

Thank You Cheryl for the kind words.

Thank you, always trying to tweak a bit here and there.

ONe of my favorite pics in that group is the one showing the 'wide lane' behind the rocks so that the fish can have another 6ft pane to swim down the back too, do laps, figure 8's, etc.

 

I moved my WP 40's (with the Todd Mod) down to the back wall, just under my C2C.

Cleaned things up a bit more, not really sure why I didn't do it this way first.

Was:


Now:


Tinkered and did lots of other stuff this morning too, rearranged a few corals, glued smoe more hunks of
GSP to the back wall, etc.

 

A little more progress on the stand outers.

I still have to glue the trim to the canopy outers.

I have the trim glued on and this is just layed up/mock up of the stand.

 

I assume there are still no issues with the Todd Mod on the WPs. I assume there are no flow issues by putting them under the C2C. No more vortices i assume! Every time I see your tank it reminds me of how much work i have ahead... fortunately for the time being that is serving as motivation and not despair!

 

Looking good Todd.

 

I got a New Melaranus Wrasse a few days ago.
A Male this time! To go with my female.
Thanks Best Fish! (My lfs)
This makes 12 fish for me now

After a short quarantine, he went in the display today.
My 'tank gang' was checking him out for a while, and even the female M. Wrasse was checking him out too, and nodging http://wireefsociety.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=13&t=14702#him some too.
Then, I looked over and he was in my C2C overflow! I put him back in the DT. I do't have much CC/sand, but eventually he found an area to burrow, and I think all will be well now.

This is a Picture off the net of the male and female:


In a quart transfer jar:


In the DT:


His brief adventure in the C2C overflow:

 

Correct on the no issues with the 'Todd Mod' for the WP's- I don't think hardly any detritus/junk is going to get caught on the intake fins now.
And, now they're farther down, no plastic pieces needed to keep the air vortex's away.
And it's a cleaner look. And I have less issues with the CC/sand going to BB in the middle/front also.
A win- win!

 

That's a really nice add todd, tank is looking great

 

tank is looking great Todd! You've been a busy bee love the new fish - very pretty

 

Thanks for the kind words ya'll.

I worked a 12hr shift yesterday,
I can't wait till 0900 today and the lights come on and see if he comes out today.
I'm off today, so I'll have lots of time to look for him.
