    return pump ...



    frag tank ...

    original 8' er ...



    new 40 breeder ...





    i am much happier with this 40 gallon frag tank for now. i have not had a lot of time for fragging lately, but i can always add more tanks to the setup. this 40 is already drilled to do that.

    next will be corals, fish and inverts, but since it is Christmas eve ... i am a bit rushed to get out to the family get togethers.

    ENJOY !!

    I like the scaping of in the new version of the tank much better than the old. It looks a lot more roomy now!

    It'll be nice to be able to follow your progress Bobby. I really do need to re-do my rockwork at some point. I like the island look soooo much better, and it gives the fish more room.

    yeah, there is WAY more room for the tangs to swim around. before it was just the everyday "rock wall" and was CRAM packed with corals and frags. now it is almost all SPS. i need to update the sump pics next, now there are 2 remote deep sand beds in there and about 100lbs. of LR.

    the RDSB's have about 300gph running through them, and are excellent nitrate reducers. not to mention that they can be cleaned out or have the sand replaced whenever they need it and it will not mess up the water parameters.

    Bobby, do you just let your rics split, or do you force them?

    Nice shots BTW.
