Bob's 30Gallon Nano with sump build

Looking forward to seeing the updated pics!

Had to laugh when we read your update on the clowns hosting your frogspawn. We have a pair of Ocellaris clowns that we tried to lure into an RBTA, but they refused to give up their paly colony, LOL!

Thank you guys! your tank is looking really nice too! i have been up and running for about 2 months and still have not performed a water change! everything is growing like crazy.
 
heres a small update... the rose bubble anenome decided to split overnight! pretty cool and the meteor shower is finally starting to take off like crazy. I had a small green hair algae outbreak so ive been taking care of that and i also did my first water change and added some chateo to the sump! been dosing 4Ml of calcium and alkalinity every other day.

reef update from about 2 months ago Just before hurricane sandy hit Ohio. After the hurricane came through Ohio, I did not have power for 7 days. My whole tank was transferred to my friends 220 gallon for about 3 weeks. I have finally got everything stable and was able to salvage most of my coral and all my fish. I will have an updated video here soon.
 
Very cool cinematography and your tank looked exceptionally healthy before Sandy hit. Sorry to hear about that. Best of luck getting everything back on track.

just a little update. The white balance was tough to nail down so it looks alot bluer than it actually is.
