Well i was thinking to post some pics, but there is no point, anything that had color is colorless :-/ ... So ill wait for some color ro come back..

New update though, i just built a new stand and painted it..i still need to add the trim, but w/e i can do it when ever.....now to drain the tank, switch stands, and refill will be the up coming mission...

And, i cant decide on what fish i would like in there... The yasha has its den w/ pistol, its not in the open..and the 6line wrasse is so fast moving......

I was thinking a few anthias,  but im not sure....any  suggestions.. Remember its a 34g cube, but i left Lots of swimming room.

Sunburst like a big tank, also like a deep tank, since they like the bottom. And they get big. Like 5''

Recomend any others?

And firefish are womp womp to me.

salvini55

I hear ya on the firefish, there nothing special. Still nothing cooler than a few anthias in my books. A wrass or two would be sick but $$$$$ for really cool ones. If royal grammas were a little more out going then I would suggest a trio or something. but I bet they would fight each other. Ive always liked a shoal of longspine cardinals but many consider them to be whomp whomp as well. I dont know, I tried.

Ps - buddy is in Vancouver till mid march for the recording

Sharbuckle

are you using the stock skimmer vince?

Vincenzo.

Ya man. I dont have the cash for a saphire. But the skimmer is skimming well tho.

Since the switch im going thru a re-cycle...maddddddd cyano but im basting and filtering like crazy, with w/c's

Im thinking to make a sump with no holes in the tank, under my new stand with a 20g maybe. By using a canister filter and a strong power head. But im not sure yet.

Sharbuckle

a sump you saayin? ive always wanted to do an above tank fuge but ive never really put a plan in action

Vincenzo.

Word, but i still want it under the tank.

Since i have all my chaeto jammed in one corner, it be nice to have its own space.

Sharbuckle

lookin forward to seein how that works

Vincenzo.

^ya, me too, lol. and it would be nice to have a ATO added. and a KRL, and a MP20, and a better skimmer, and all my corals back, and new corals, and all the fish i want..

Sharbuckle

and i want a solid gold toilet.... didnt sapphire go out of businness?

Vincenzo.

^yes he did. The skimmers are still dope tho

Vincenzo.

only if it was that easy....though params seem stable. i want to get this fuge built. but last night bitterman was scaring me with my own idea of flooding.

I would never try to scare you Vince... but take it from someone who has had to cleanup after a 125 exploded..... Floods are not fun.
