Thanks. Indeed I was lucky.
I added Aguaglobe's 300GPH PH today.
So here is break down of the flow.
480 GPH (Blueline 480 GPH) + 290 GPH (Maxi-Jet 1200) + 300 GPH (Aquaglobe) = 1070 GPH
Now I know there is some head pressure so its safe to say that I have about 900 GPH going thru NC6. Also Aquaglobe PH is so small that you can hardly notice its there.
Here is pic.

Oogie, where did you get your aquaglobe? I've been looking for a vendor, but can't find one online... Was it a local purchase?

ccjung: Thanks for your kind words. You are the who inspire to mod my cube!!!!
calvin415: Yes, I did get it localy. I am not sure where you can get it online.
Now I have added 2 more acro pieces.
Here are the pics.
Here is shot of Acropora hoeksemai.
Here is shot of Acropora Prostrata.
Here is shot of my acros so far.
Here is full tank shot.
I took this shot right after light came on, so hopefully in couple weeks, it will color up nicely!
Thanks

Looking great.
I have to admit that when I saw your peltier I laughed. Then listened to the quiet hum of the 120mm fan blowing through the radiator a few feet away.

I have to ask you (sry it's off topic)... What do you use for tubing on your PC? Mine lasts maybe a year (at most) and then it gets very limp and kinks off, forcing me to un-OC everything and the temperature rises up A LOT. sry it's so off topic.
That purple/green acro is awesome. Should grow out great (especially w/ all that flow)

shroom: Thanks as always!
Babycakes: I am sorry you missed it too! Your tank is comming along great!!!
Kogut: Well, I just use silicone tubing and it seems to hold up. I haven't had any noticable kinks and didn't have to replace it YET!
Finally, owner of oogiecube moved in.
Here is my Sixline Wrasse getting dripped. I acclimated him for about 1 1/2 hours.
Here is him in the tank. He is already looking for worms and pods.
Thanks

Fish looks great, Oogie! Tank's looking really good, too. He should add a good bit of color and activity to the system.

Sinistard: I was actually worried about the flow for sixline but he is actually having great time in there with tons of flow.
Coralcrazy: Reason for the link is because i didn't like way they handled biz after tanks start craking. Hey where in NJ r u in? I am in Fort Lee.
LukeP77, Kogut: THanks for the comments.
I added few more frags. I will take pics of individual frags when they recover from shipping stress.
Here is full tank shot.

brianemone: Thanks for that comment! And yes Sixline really do love the high flow.
Here shot of one of new frags I got.

Can't wait to see the finished project. You're mad!

Wow Oogie- you are in Fort lee, hahah I am in Leonia. Cool!!!

kewliz: Thanks!!!!
coralcrazy: Wow leonia. you are next town over! We should meet sometime!!!!
I was feeding my sixline today, and one of mysis shrimp got in to overflow box and sixline followed it! He got sucked in to bulkhead and all the way down to sump and got caught by filter sock.
I gently removed him and put him back in the tank. He lost some scale, and I could see some damage on his body. He still ate whatever was floating in the tank, then when to his little sleeping cave and stayed there since. I hope he will make it because he is really cook guy.
Thanks!

Hopefully he will make it oogie.

You may want to QT him and dose MealFix, but if you don't, he should still be OK.
I realy like the rock work now that you redid it alittle and you added the SPS Frags, good job.
oogie
Jul 21 2005, 10:18 PM
FishFreak, Travis: Thanks alot for your comments! I hope he makes it too. It was little frantic for me looking for the little guy. I guess its normal for fish to act timid after such a ordeal right? I mean he escaped death! Lets hope he will be alright. Thanks again for your reply!

my pipe fish went through almost the same thing at the LFS when I bought him, went through the overflow and down into the sump sock, but hes fine and I would think he would be more fragile than the wrass

hey oogie, there is a local fish store near by us, it is called Aquarium Warehouse, the guy is good. One thing you must do with his fish is acclimate them. He is a good guy and you will end up liking him, yea sure we could meet some time lol.

You are crazy with all your tanks, do you have any plumbing backround, or just a DIY master?

Oh I am no plumber. I am actually a classical musician! LOL
Anyways I know aquarium warehouse on route4. I don't like it as much as Absolutley Fish and Reef Encounter.
Nice to see neighbor on n-r.com!

yea they are good to me, we do a few trades here and there so we both treat eachother good

Thanks
Travis
Jul 27 2005, 08:48 PM
Yeah, they are some cool little buggers

Looking better (rocks wise)

Tank looks great! You'll love the little crab. They're very useful in keeping your coral free of debris and the like. Also pretty fun to watch.

Jul 28 2005, 06:28 AM
Legendary, some ingenious ideas - I love it. Some real nice frags you got there too. You adding any substrate? I think it will give it a more natural feel?!

Those Acro Crabs also eat Red Bugs

Travis: Wow I didn't know they eat redbugs too! Thats great news! I mena these days red bug is causing so much scare. Thanks for that info!
chimeranzl: Thanks for the comment!
Kogut: Wow thats great news about acro crab! Thanks for the info.
Maxvan1: I am glad my rock is starting to look better. Thanks for your input!

Yeah... In my experience, they live and die w/ their chosen coral. Never leaving for anything. :| Kinda sad that they don't service all the acros.
