billygoat Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Looking good! Based on the photo of your previous tank I'm guessing that you're going to keep it bare bottom? 1 Quote Link to comment

Krish87 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Great work so far! Looking forward... The JBJ looks really great. Sad to see it go but thrilled with the upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment
billygoat Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I notice you used clips to hang your DIY lid inside the rim of the tank. Looks very slick! Did you purchase a screen lid kit for your top, or is that just something you made yourself? Quote Link to comment

Did you purchase a screen lid kit for your top, or is that just something you made yourself? Its the innovative marine clips. The top is a diy from home depot, just ur off the shelf screen and frame set. The screen i bought from amazon its clear/ more transparent than the ones they sell at home depot. Update: all the fishies and corals are in. The left overs from the jbj are all getting sold. 1 Quote Link to comment
Natereef Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 4/19/19 update. Added some sticks about a week ago. Also I had to give away my cherub angel, he was being super aggressive and biting everyone in the tank. Also my two fathead denros are closed most of the time because my clowns are trying to host it and nipping at the tentacles. Quote Link to comment
