Scotchy's Tank

[scotchy]

O.k. I have just upgraded tanks from a 33 gallon to a 65 gallon. I wanted to stay with a 3 foot tank for my reef tank mostly because I wanted tall not long. The sump is a water holding tank like you would find in a cabin with a shallow well. It holds 118 gallons of water and is fed with a CPR overflow. The pump feeding the tank is a MAG 9.5 dialed back right now and is probably only flowing about 400 gph. The reason for that is in some lack of blood flow to my brain, I put a 90 degree elbow on the overflow (never do that) so until I change that the overflow can't keep up. I still have to set up a refugium to the system as well, I'm just not sure where and how big yet. All my livestock will be going in the tank tonite or tomorrow, depending on when I can get the temp stabilized. Some pics. The last pic is the tank being cycled (ya ya I know, everybody and their dog does that).

Scott excellent play pen, I have to get one myself. Let me know when I can slip bye bud.

Anytime, I'm almost always around if I'm not at work. I still gotta come by your place as well to check out those new lights. By the way a big thanks goes out to Crazyfish, if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have come up with this crazy idea.

Looks good, Scotchy. I didn't cycle my tank like that! Very funny!

Well the livestock is all in the tank (was up till 5am moving rocks and corals into the basement) Most of the corals have taken well to the new tank, others have not. Toadstool, bubble and xenia of all things are looking pretty bad, but we'll see as time goes on. Fish are all in exellent shape and seem to be happy. Even the shrimp molted again. Some more pics.
