In my head, I wrote that the Cross-Flow with the SunSun is for my 75g SW. Guess I didn't actually type it out. Oops! Sorry lol.
That's a nice new tank!!!!Still no build tread your slacking sir.
Top is my new 90
Bottom is the 75.
Same rock is in both. You can see how even though I could add more rock In the 90 how open it is.
I'm going to have to try something like this on the fx6....I thought it would just be too much flow but I'll have to give it a try now!It's the only flow I have in my FW 90g. I built a larger intake and a spray bar for ther return using 3/4" pvc. The spray bar is about 42" long and in three sections which are connected with unions. I did not use any cement so I can adjust each output section of the bar by aiming it. You'll see in the crappy pics that the furthest section is aimed up toward the surface, the middle section is aimed down at about the middle of the front glass and the section closest to the return line is aimed almost straight out. I've already noticed that I have practically no dead spots in the tank now.
In saltwater the reef currents are crazy fast. It's hard to replicate those conditions. Fish will be fine but the corals will not. There is such a thing as too much flow. I would start of slow and work your way up in the flow department
One of my favorite. Waiting for a friend to frag it. Keep it to an island and you'll be fine.In one of the saltwater groups I'm in on FB, a guy posted this pic. He calls it "firework cloves" and said that it can get invasive. I really like it, though. Do any of you have an opinion about it?

Awesome, thanks! Maybe I'll have 2 islands, one for the fireworks and one for the green star polyps
Hopefully, my tank will look ok with 2 lol. How do these guys do with anemones? Should I worry about the anemone hurting them or vice versa?
Only if the nem wants to be close and personal with them. The bta nem will most likely want to be on or close to the main rock structure. The bta like find and crevice/hole to get it's foot in.Awesome, thanks! Maybe I'll have 2 islands, one for the fireworks and one for the green star polyps
Most likely. Called us clowns and told us he could no longer call us maggots. He was upset about that. He did love to tell and throw are stuff and called it a tornado. Beds all flipped shoes all over the place and we had 15min to fix. We never seemed to be able to fix it in 15 so more yelling and we had to push the world back into orbit.
They are a all in one tank. Really easy to start with. It's a plug and play kind of tank. Pump and lights need to be upgraded.
It was great readIt was a good read but, then again, I like all of Stephen King's books.
Oh, wait, did you mean something else?
My father-in-law is still in Texas, so it'll be at least mid-February before he starts on it. Probably closer to March. Apparently, he didn't get the memo that I want my SW tank NOW! Lol. And now I've been thinking (which can be dangerous, according to my husband), If he's already making a stand for our 125, why not do one for the 75, too? One with bigger cabinets, so if I wanted to eventually do the whole overflow into a sump thing, I could
That's the hardest part picking fish. So many to choose from
