    I haven't lost siphon...knock on wood... but that is what I'm thinking as well. Right now I have about 150 gph going the fuge. It's so far not pulling any additional air at that rate but will if I increase the flow. If this OF fails once it's getting replaced with a eshopps LOL.

    It was going to be a 29 I have but when I set it up there I noticed that it wasn't supported evenly and had some overhang. Just a little but enough to make me reconsider and use a 20H instead. Better safe than sorry.

    Yeah if you notice the support where the tv is supposed to sit is curved and with the other tank both front corners were pushing the edge to close. I'm sure it would've been safe but didn't want to chance it and besides the 30" length just looked plain goofy imo.

    It looks better now that all of the macro's are in it. I was real happy that most of the critter's living in the old one survived the move, especially most of the pods since I'm pretty sure I'm going to put a few h. zosterae in there and they'll need some snacks between feedings.;D

    You suck! NO JJ but I want a mantis sooooo bad. I visit stomatopod.com at least 50 times a day. I've asked a couple of ppl from FL if they can get me a nice looking one. Being forced to be patient stinks LOL

    Ok I'm back....

    Lol ol take that as a compliment.... not to turn this into a mantis thread or anything, but I love the little devils also..... funny you mention florida, that's where I got mine... a fellow reefer there got him as a hitch hiker and he gave him to me :) he is much smaller than I expected though... only like half inch maybe three quarter

    Anyway congrats on the great fuge' build! Got any fresh pics?
