    The 40g cube has everything stuffed into it!

    Here is a picture showing the otherside of the wall, where all the plumbing will be routed to.

    And she's off.....

    Purple Tang #2 in her new home, and enjoying her first meal in her new home, some good ol nori seeweed.

    Both of my tangs will actually eat right from my fingers. They both go absolutely nuts when they see the nori package!

    Temporary MH hung and all my LPS/SPS/CLAM added to the new 30g tank

    My pump is still a bit too strong for the tank. it is still throwing sand. But as the sand bed gets settled it will fix its self.
    Frags were also thrown in just because i don't quite have my frag tank finished. Let me know what ya think!

    Just about 1 week after the setup of this tank and putting it online with the 40g cube.

    The sand storm has been contained and my LPS are starting to come out and look nice!

    Picked up my sweet little Pico and transferred most of the livestock to my 30g. Will be giving the Pico to my wife. I will let her pick out her own livestock, from my own tanks or the LFS.

    Here is picture updates of the 30g cube.

    The very very last pic is of one of my new Green Bubble Tip Anemones. I got 13 of them from Lindsay (RockinSmall) who got them from a school teacher who was thinning out his tank for 100.00 for all of them. He lives in Council Bluffs. I know that they more but you can ask her if they are selling any more.

    Looking good.

    I was wondering why you had the overflow against the partitian insted of the wall, then a few pictures down I realized.
    I hope you don't have kids or friends with kids who will miss with the pluming.

    up for a few weeks now, so far so good. I have a 3 year old daughter who is great around my tanks. She is very gentle and not rowdy at all. She loves the fish and nenamees!
