Any upcoming plans for you aquarium? If so what's up your sleeve?
 
I'm thinking its time to thin out some coral to make room for more unique pieces. We've got a local swap coming up but I have to work. I'm going to try out one of R2R sponsors for my new goodies. That's what I've got up my sleeve.

I just changed my rock work on the left side, made it higher for my clam. Now that I opened up the middle of the rock work I plan to get a RBTA. I'm thinking of breaking new ground for me and trying a couple easy SPS, maybe birds nest and Monti caps?
 
Making a new stand........my stand is already too crammed and maintenance will not be fun if I don't make changes which means I might slack on maintenance which is never good. Which would you choose?

I have got quite a bit on the to do list
-Start dosing. Just bought a doser, now I just need the chemicals! And to figure out how much I need to dose
-Purchasing a wet/dry vac to clean the sump
-Replacing my controller with a newer one
-Re-plumb the drain
-And finish stocking the tank! Almost there!
 
i just started adding sticks have 15 new acro/milli frags.i added my first clam the other day a baby maxima.started using kalk.staerted using fuel.getting rid of 2 fish to help keep the bioload down.switching to t5 on thursday from leds.im gonna add another mp40 once i recover from all the stuff above and i see a new and bigger tank in the near future im thinking a 7'x2'x2' will fit nicely in my room.
 
Adding a Tunze osmolator 3155 ato so that I can feel safe going out of town this summer and begin to dose kalk. Also add a UV sterilizer before my next tang. Lost a lot of fish back in December and trying to avoid that devastation again.
 
90g frag tank (6' x 2' x 1' roughly) being revived after too many years in storage. Stand is built and just needs to be painted. The old stand had been completely eaten by termites in a not so weather proof storage shed. All other equipment cleaned and ready to go!

I strongly advise you quarantine your fish. A UV sterilizer does not make up for not quarantining.
 
I just put the last check in the mail for this bad boy. Going from a standard 90 gal with 35 gal sump to this 220 gal 60x28x30 euro braced .75" thick glass with 21" external overflow with 2 returns drilled into the back from coast to coast and will have an approximately 65 gal custom sump being made by Marc Levenson at melevsreef. Metal stand that will eventually be wrapped with wood maybe cherry or walnut that will all be detachable. Going to be lite all by a ATI Powermodule 8x54w t5 with 3x75w led. It should be here within a couple weeks.

Right on and thanks for taking the time to give some advice. I've got two different size qt's in my bonus room and the UV will be secondary defense.
