JLwaves Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 uwwmatt - do you rest your live rock up against the sides? Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks guys uwwmatt - do you rest your live rock up against the sides? For the most part no. There are a few pieces that touch the back wall but thats it. Link to comment
JLwaves Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Actually I should had clarified, the back wall - not the sides. Not sure why I said that. Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Actually I should had clarified, the back wall - not the sides. Not sure why I said that. I try to set it up with a few inches between the rock and the back wall to allow flow to move freely through the back. Link to comment

uwwmatt Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 anything new going on? its been a dramatic read geez an emotional rollercoaster haha amazing tank man very sleek Another disaster unfortunately. Read about it here. Basically my battery operated safety air pump fell into my tank causing some die-off. I lost my acropora (8 frags), my clam, one of my cardinal fish, and a large portion of my red zoanthids. Things seem to be stable once again, but I am not sure if I have seen the end of this problem.

scalowag Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Very very nice tank Matt... for a while now I've been looking around for another 25G tall setup and yours is actually where I want mine to be in another month or so. I'm thinking of adding a 150W MHI to my current fixture and a reefkeeper lite as well... MAYBE an ATO. The next thing in line though is to connect my sump that I've had sitting down for months! ( I had a 10g sump just like yours but I removed the baffles and made it a QT since I got a 'proper' sump from a friend). I too have a mag 5 but what's killing me here is which overflow to get. Which overflow do you have? Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 I use a Quietflo for my overflow. I have never had a problem with it. I would definitely recommend getting the reefkeeper and ATO. They really help keep your tank stable. Well it has been a while since I updated this thread. Ever since my last mishap I have really just been letting my tank coast. It still hasn't bounced back like I was hoping it would, but I am not giving up yet. Most recent FTS I guess this would be Tank 3.0 now... Link to comment
Brewspew Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 lookin good as always. Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 I got a new clown fish last week. Since adding him he has been eating well and getting along great with the other tank inhabitants. I had been debating getting a new fish for a while now. Originally I had planned on getting a flasher wrasse, but I just didn't want to bother with the hassle of making a top for my aquarium. Another problem with the wrasse I have heard is that they can be very shy. I don't want another fish that hides all day. I think I see my orange spotted goby like once a week. lookin good as always. Thanks Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Nice Clown! Thanks, he is still getting along great with all the other tank inhabitants. Link to comment

Hopefully one of these months, although with some of the new tanks I have seen around lately (volcano tank ) I am not holding my breath. Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Well my clown fish that I have had for about a month finally decided to host. I figured he would go for the frogspawn, but he chose that candy cane instead. He likes to wiggle right in between the heads, its pretty fun to watch. Link to comment
