Showed up fine for me. It's a good start, but needs some corals...

Can't wait till we start buying coral. I have some I'm going to move over, but nothing that'll make a dent in the tank.

Where is that line going from your skimmer air intake? Almost looks like it's going into the water?
Great looking tank! |

Wedged between the skimmer output pipe and the sump's bracing. Just found it to be quieter like that

I think that I could try out my new scuba gear in your tank. Looks great.

Really impressive build, Peter. 10 feet is just an amazing thing all by itself. How did the tile floor hold up? What steel did the stand builder use? Looks like 2.5" to possibly 3"? What wall thickness?
I'm along for the ride...

Just got a Purple Tang from Michael at NY Aquatic and he's in QT now. Eating nori, Mysis, flakes and picking at live rocks:
Also just order a 4" Black Tang and Chevron Tang from Kevin at Pacific Island Aquatics. Really saved me... was waiting on a wholesaler to get stock and it wasn't happening. Probably my fault by buying the Purple too quick. Here's a pick of the Black I bought:

How long you will leave them in a Qt ??
How you keep ammonia and nitrite low in QT? Do you use any medications on QT?? Thank you |

Not to beat you up, Castro, but those questions are probably best directed to the appropriate areas of the forum. The search function is also very handy.

Will QT for 5-6 weeks. 6 would be the max (unless something bad comes up), because we're going on a quick vacation at that time. Ammonia and Nitrite have been non-existent. Normally do 3 treatments of PraziPro 7 days apart followed by a big water change. This time I'm treating the Chevron with some Melafix because it came with a wound. Looks like it's doing better after a few days of treatment. Will do water changes and start PraziPro this Friday.

Just added the Black, Purple, Yellow and Yellow Bellied Blue Tangs to the tank.
They are busy checking each other out right now. The Tomini didn't really swim with them much. He seems to be coming around more. Chevron went out of quarantine and into my old display tank with a Black Ice Clown to finish it's PraziPro treatment. Had a bit of a delay when I had to treat it for a bite.

Using an old SD Foscam on the QT tanks, have a 720P Foscam on the big tank.
I really don't like it, going to see if some better 1080P cameras from other manufactures get good reviews. Looks a little dark even with the LEDs at nearly 100%.

Here's a video of the tangs eating...
Tried to break up the new Tangs' aggression towards the existing Tomini by putting three rocks with nori in the tank. Naturally they all flock over to where the Tomini hangs out and start eating that one...

I'm really waiting to add an Achilles and maybe an Achilles Hybrid and a Small Crosshatch Pair (Read 4-5" male), but that'll be down the line. Want those fish to be near last for aggression issues. Now my wife gets to pick all the small pretty fish :P I can't wait to move to coral, but I'll have to wait until after we go on two trips in the next month. Then we'll be home the rest of the year. Also came downstairs and noticed all the Tangs on the other side of the tank (not where the Tomini hangs out) swimming together and not really showing aggression. I grabbed my phone and they got a bit flashy again and took off to the other side of the tank. Hopefully they are working it out a little bit. I haven't seen the Tomini on the right side of the tank since the other tangs went in...
