seabass Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I added a back panel to my stand. I figured it would help protect the wall. I also changed my plumbing design around a bit. And I used flexible tubing for the return line. Sump up and running (w/out skimmer or other equipment). 3 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Aquascaped it. Nothing special, essentially 5 rocks and a little rock frag. I'm not in love with it, but it's alright. I used less than half of the rock that I thought I would. I didn't use the three largest rocks (one wouldn't even fit through the top holes). I just seemed too crowded, and I wanted room for maintenance, flow, swimming space, and coral growth). Maintenance is a lot harder being behind it, having to stand on a step stool, and having the massive bracing on top. 8 Quote Link to comment

Steensj2004 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Pick a skimmer yet? Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yeah, I have an ASM G4. Fits pretty good in a 40B sump. It's rated for 350 gallons, so maybe a little overkill (but I think it'll be fine). 1 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks guys. Trio of Bartlett's Anthias (Pseudanthias bartlettorum): A large male and two smaller females. They are all eating Hikari frozen mysis. 2 Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks guys. Trio of anthias: A large male and two smaller females. They are all eating Hikari frozen mysis. Very nice. What are you planning for other fish? 1 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 What are you planning for other fish? Not much. I currently have a pair of tank bred ocellaris clownfish that I've had for years, and a bicolor blenny. I'll likely add them in a few weeks (once I'm comfortable with how the anthias are doing). I'll probably also add a wrasse, but I don't see myself packing it full of fish. 2 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Wow, just wow. Hoping for regular updates now! 4 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 I can't promise anything. But I'll post updates occasionally, or whenever I add or change something. I'm not planning on spending insane amounts of cash on livestock, so don't expect it to be anything spectacular for quite some time. I still have some equipment to setup, so there should be plenty of updates coming. 1 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 Put the ASM G4 protein skimmer in. Holy microbubbles Batman! I might have to add a bubble trap if it doesn't get better. Since this pic, I installed the prefilter on the Mag 9.5 to see if that would help. Hey, nobody makes a prefilter for a baffle (that sits on top of it) do they? 3 Quote Link to comment
