@willyboy100 I had the refugium supplied with water from my main return pump I had a tee in the line with a hand valve and had about 200gph of flow to the fuge. I then had it sitting up high enough that the 2 overflows I drilled into the side would overflow back into my sump. This was suppose to be a temporary setup but I ran it like that for over a year

some of it had lots of color when I bought it but about 60lbs was white. It took around 3 months or so to color up nicely.

[dch921]

They got along well. I lost 2 of the black and whites for unknown reasons just disappeared one day about 2 months apart. I just tore down this tank about a month ago when I moved and sold all the live stock and live rock to a single person. Now I am just running a 30 gallon frag tank.

This setup put me back around $2000

[dch921]

i have had it right at 10 months now. I have added some new corlas and fish. Working on getting rid of most of the soft corals and going to SPS and LPS corals mainly

[scout820]

Thats alot of fish for only 1 month

[willyboy100]

@dch921 Okay that makes sense. Did you run any media in the tidepool? What was your return pump?

I am thinking of getting the freshwater version of the Aquatic Life 12x39. Can you use other manufacterers bulbs with it? Thx

[willyboy100]

@dch921 I know that you have taken this tank down, but how did you move water from the tidepool to the 20g fuge, or were they plumbed separately?

I love how people knows how to set up rocks in the tank so they can look cool

[chandlerj333]

did you start off with the live rock as colorful as it is now? because it's been about a month since i set up mine and it's still white.

[camaroryder]

Are all those clowns still in there. If so, Are they getting along alright still? Looks good though!
