[millo1143]

nice tank, i also have 46 bowfront i was wondering how do you like the metal halides so far?

[silly8oi]

where did you get so many star polyp

[pro194757]

u sound like tkreefer

[dasadler123]

What kind of tang is that with the yellow fins? It's beautiful

[sirtubemaster]

I would (if i were you) hang them by something else other than chord. It will wear them out quickly

nice tank

"theres my taaaaaaang"

[dmontalvo15]

Wow, your Star Polyps are amazing. How long did it take for them to spread like that? What are you dosing in your tank?

[anthonymovies4]

what kind of power head u using?

[thrilljunkie08]

ok, I went to this fish store recently and the person there said that I could probably go without a skimmer if I was to just go with LPS and some soft corals. is this true? i have a seaclone 100, but I hate that piece of s**t so much that I'm returning it, and possibly looking for a skimmer if needed. about how much was the CPR bak-pak?

[tjsciaretta]

Thanks for your information... About two weeks ago I added an aqua c remora and I have been trying to make the correct adjustment on the "rubber band on the top of the collection cup. Right now the water I am discarding on a daily basis has a brown tinge to it and some foam. I feel there should be more foam and less water. Is this normal for the first few weeks or what adjustment should I make? Thanks

[Scoobs9083]

I had very bad luck with my Aqua C but if you are getting brown water out you should be fine really I was getting NOTHING in mine at all but the CPR would fill up every couple days.

[eggerstout]

very nice

I also have a 46 gallon saltwater setup. I curently have a slim line wet/dry sump but Iwould like to upgrade and install a refugium. As you know the stand is limited for space being bow front. What did you do for filtration? Also are those tunze power heads in the tank. How many gallons per hour are you turning your tank over. The tank looks great. Best of luck.

[Scoobs9083]

The tank looks much better now this is almost a year old I need to take another video but those are maxi jet I think they are called? it's 2 800s that I point at the top of the water and the only filter I have running now is the CPR BAK-PAK it does the job of everything really and I just let the rocks filter the rest.

[tjsciaretta]

You state you like the CPR BAK-PAK, however in your video you have and make reference to the Aqua C remora?

[Scoobs9083]

I was running both but removed the Aqua C.

[llvaniliciousll]

hey dude, how is that aqua c remora skimmer, because im looking to get one for my 40 gallon, kinda short on space, if u know what i mean, is it a good choice?

[Scoobs9083]

I like the CPR better

[geedunk13]

Hey to have halide light bulbs do you have to have something specif or can you just screw them into ur hood?

[reefturkey]

WOW nice polyp growth

[CrimsonGuardJay]

Is that a maxima or crocea?

[Scoobs9083]

I think it is a crocea from the shell but they didn't know what it was where i got it.

[ShaynaG84]

thanks for the comment!! i had the elegance for about 3 weeks now.. cool tank i love the tang!!

[SoundsFantastic]

That would probably be my dream tank. I mean what i would love to do with my other 46 bow front. just curious how much invested in it so far?

[Scoobs9083]

Well not to bad really.. I am guessing around 1k

[eblocker1016]

hi im barely starting a tank of my own cause thers such a better variety of fish than freshwater, i mied the water and salt but my tank is still a bit cloudy after 3 days now, how did you get your water so clear or is it just a matter of time?

[eblocker1016]

by the way im using the bak pak skimmer/filter

[mangar001]

Wow , that some crazy star polyp growth there. Looks good.

[Scoobs9083]

Yea the 14K really brought it out.. I think I just didnt like the 10K or something.
