bulkheads I see what you mean. sorry

bulkheads It looks like a schedule 80 bulkhead if so Jim at saltwater critters has them.

damsels dying Look there is something else killing the damsels instead of cycling. In the early days of reef tanks I always used damsels to cycle tanks & not one ever died. I put the damsels in as soon as the water temp reached 78. As he stated he has about 280 gals of water. I would start with...

acrylic tank Hi! I am in the process of setting up my 30X24X24 acrylic tank from Paul at museum acrylics. Well made tank with rear overflow. If you want acrylic I would call Paul.

advice wow every 3 weeks not bad. If its working then I would leave it alone but maybe some carbon in the other fluval.

advice +1 I agree get a sump & probably less maintenance because for your tank to be up for 3 yrs. with a fluval filter you must be cleaning the filter once or twice every week?

atlanta aquarium Took the kids last summer, one of the best I have seen even better than the Monterrey Aquarium.

45 cube real nice, I love the monti caps. I will be setting up my 80 cube in 2 weeks, now I will add a blue hippo. originally thought a cube would be tight for tangs.

leak in corner For future reference, I had the same thing happen on my 55 gal. I put duct tape as a last resort it totally stopped the leak. had the tank going for another 3 weeks until my 120 came into the LFS. That stuff works wonders.

colder temps My dentist keeps his water temp at 68 degrees & his lps & leathers are huge & has a squamosa clam for over 10 years. So if you acclimate correctly I see no problem since he has done the opposite in keeping fish & corals which should be in temps arounds 78 at 68 degrees.

28 gal cube that's an excellent price with the modded 150 hqi & moon light plus deluxe stand. I picked up a 12 gal with standard light for 150.
