Hahaha yes lots of epoxy and super glue but only on the topright piece everything else fell into place hmmm I see, could you get a closer pic of it? because I just got really into sea fans since I bought 1 2 days ago, mine is red with yellow polyps and I heard mine was one of the hardier ones compared to other sea fans.

magsj387 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Great setup! Your sump is awesome. Thanks I really like the fact that I have somewhere to house the angler as well as incorporate the nps with all the typical functionality of a typical fuge/sump Link to comment

I don't know what's a good liquid food for sea fans, so I didn't buy food for them yet... do you happen to know what will feed them perfectly? Link to comment

Lawnman Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Is this tank drilled in the back with center overflow?I seen one at the LFS but can't stand looking at those pipes. Link to comment
magsj387 Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Is this tank drilled in the back with center overflow?I seen one at the LFS but can't stand looking at those pipes. Yeah it's drilled out the back unfortunately...I'm not the biggest fan either...but I painted the plumbing and it's tucked away rather nicely. I do have the say the one perk that comes with it is that the overflow is really slim. Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hey man, any new updates of your tank? Just last weekend, I was able to get the same blueberry sea fan you have, I'll post pics of them up soon. Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 now let me see yours close-up!!!!! Link to comment
magsj387 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 So I greatly apologize for taking so long to get back to you...the gorg was not liking the water parameters for whatever reason so it was relocated to a friends NPS tank for the time being where it is much happier... Link to comment
magsj387 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 So I plan on getting a few new pics of the tank up shortly after a NASTY battle with bryopsis! And I will say Man does H2O2 really do the job!!! It was every where and every thing I did and tried....only made it worse...so I finally broke down drained the tank hosed everything down with peroxide and filled it back up and did a major water change in 3 day the difference was night and day!!! Here's the before...I'll get some new pictures of the current up tomorrow Link to comment
