Glad to see you got it set up ok. If I remember correctly, the PVC consists of 2 couplings and 2 90deg elbows. All 3/4". There is just some 3/4" PVC fitted inside the elbows and couplings to connect the pieces. I used a dremel on the surface skimmer to feed the water in and drilled some holes in the elbow under the water level to pull water in the case of the water level dropping too low. I also widened the inside of the coupling that connected to the j-tube of the AC-70 in order to make it fit. Link to comment
shimmy Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hey, that tank looks awfully familiar . Glad to see you got it set up ok. hey jamie, wait and see the updates after the diatom goes away Well a couple days ago diatom production peaked and is slowing going away. I took out the zoas after taking the photos a couple days ago so don't worry. anyways, today I added a clean up crew which consists of... 3 ceriths 2 astreas 3 nassarius' and also made an ato out of a small fiji water bottle hopefully I can add some sps in a week or two I've never really had much experience with sps before so was wondering if anyone had ideas on specific kinds of sps I should look for that would be easy to care for but also aesthetically pleasing Link to comment

When you are ready, I can probably hook you up with some green monti cap. I have plenty. It grows really fast too. Link to comment
