That pic doesn't really grasp the size of that green stag. It's pretty big!
I love rock and think the more rock the better and healthier the system. It seem like the more rock I can cram in a tank, the less algae/cyano problems I have. With that said, I would leave it down as well. It gives a nice, clear water column for some of the fish to swim around in up on top and looks more natural to me. I would stuff the sump with rubble rock though to get as much like rock in there as I could. I remember you just had sand in the sump on the 45. Are you going to put rubble rock down in the sump on the 210 or just leave it sand? |
I agree, you can't have too much rock. There is rock in the 45's sump you just cant see it for the microalgae. I need (want) a bigger sump for that tank. I hope to get Dion to build be a stand this year (he doesn't know it yet). I plan to put rock in most of the available space in the 210's sump. The skimmer and return sections have a lot of space.

Five weeks in and Hamilton lights are hung. I did not like the looks or the access to the top of the tank with the canopy. These are 250 W MH and 4 80 W T5s.

That's looking very nice! You have a ton of stuff for just three months, its awesome.
That toadstool looks like the size of a basketball.

Careful with the fish load. Looks like a lot of big fish for such a new tank.

You are right Adam, it is a lot of fish and some big fish. Careful feeding and keeping watch on the numbers is a must. I have been able to maintain Phosphate at about .020 and nitrate at 2. The rest are good and I will be happy if I can maintain these numbers. I have been doing monthly 30% water changes too. I know I am on the edge. And may never be able to have SPS. If numbers go up I will go with sulfur reactor more than likely.
