Both tanks look more like frag tanks than anything else. Try combining some of your frags onto larger pieces of rock or glueing them onto your rock work. Is that a mag drive pump inside of your tank?

Is your in-sump skimmer working properly now? You really should show some pic when all lights are on. It's a beautiful tank, I like the way the glasses are glued together a lot.

leoskee, that's the only thing I did not like about my old aquapod. With the Elos, I'm hoping I can actually create a reef, not a frag tank...it's getting there, give me time. :) Most often, it's unavoidable when you chase after the high end stuff. And yeap, mag on the side; I was using a Remora skimmer during the cycling phase, but since then it has been removed and I'm only running the NS skimmer now.

Asianer, thank you :)

yeacheetah, I'm still playing around with the bulb configurations of my t5 fixture. Will post more daytime pics soon...

boozeman: hey bro! thanks for the kind words! I love those apogons too, though so far they have munched on ... two Randall's anemone shrimps, and four sexy shrimps. :lol2:

Congratulation. Elos is just amazing tank. My dream tank.

BTW, what happened to your AP24? Are you selling your tank? If you are, pm me please. I really like to get one if the price is right. Thanks.

Savager: thank you :) It's my first rimless tank and I'm loving it. I have the AquaPod just sitting in my garage. Just shoot me a PM of what you think is a fair price, and we can arrange a pick up time. I will throw some accessories in there for you as well.

grkyner: are you talking about these two pics?

First pic is a Jendub War favia & Mummy Eye chalice. Second pic, on the far left is the Dragon Soul aka Prism favia, and in the center the Emerald Mummy Eye chalice, and in the back center left, Miami Hurricane aka Pumpkin Patch, and back center right, another frag of the Mummy Eye chalice. I hope I described the right pic. :smile:

rookie07: thank you :)

Ryan: Thanks bro! How are the aussies from ZN doing??

Kinda OT, but just wanted to show off my B-day gift from my gf :) Last time I owned an iPod was when they released their 3rd Gen. 20GB, which froze on me after a year and never unfroze itself. So far I'm loving the new iPod! I don't know how I went so long without one. :sleepy:
