Great meeting you today Richie, had a lot of fun talking to you and finally getting to shake your hand. Hopefully I'll get out to see your tank soon and maybe be able to help you with your next tank.

sorry guys for not updating this thread, well so far so good (knock on wood) i have been thinking of re doing my rock work and also taking half of my sand out (450 lbs).
here are some pics, of the 450 and the 120, and also a 1 minute clip of the 450.

Sweet looking tank Richie!

Hey Richie, If you are serious about rearranging your tank let me know, Ill definitely lend a hand. We have to figure a way to remove the sand without releasing all that sulfur from the sandbed. I know you have been planning this for quite a while. LMK

This tank is truly inspirational...great job Richie! Were you ever able to your phosphates to an acceptable level?

 

[tomtoothdoc]

you need more fish richie....lol. the joculator looks awesome.....very envious!!!

removing all the sand would be easier than half. if you're gonna re-arrange everything, i say shopvac all the sand out, rinse what you're gonna use and put back. you'll get some cycling but a few bottles of amquel+ should hold down the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.

count me in if it's on a sunday....have shopvac...will travel....lol

Looking good buddy.......as always

 

[bartmalave]

it blows my mind how it looks from the last time i saw it great job rich

Im assuming the small yellow tang chasing the larger one around was the one you got from me. That thing had some attitude in my tank as well.
